nil is not a Symbol

[Tonkpils]

I ran into this issue when I went into production and tested in both small and big apps in development.

controller

def list
  @client_applications = @account.client_applications.page(params[:page]).per(params[:per_page])
   @message = "Application list"
    render 'client_applications/index', status: :ok
end

index.json.rabl

object false

node(:client_applications) { partial('client_applications/_show', object: @client_applications) }

extends 'shared/success'

I made a request a request to the list action and this was the output the first time. Server

        "format" => "JSON",
    "controller" => "api/web/v1/client_applications",
        "action" => "list"
}

Response

{"status":"success","message":"Application list","client_applications":[]}

I made a second request to the same action and this was the output. Server

Any subsequent request returned the same error. I restarted the server and it allowed me to make one request with a successful response and rest became errors again.

The trace showed the error pointing to this line in rabl-rails

Hi I am experiencing the same 'Nil is not a symbol' issue in development.

controller

def index
    @person = current_user.person
     respond_with(@person)
end

index.rabl

collection :@person
attributes :uid, :full_name, :gender, :mini_bio, :birthday => :dob

I have check the @person variable and it is a full object. This was working with no problem yesterday and I cannot figure out where I am now going wrong. I have attempted to undo changes and get back to working version but no luck.

Type error on Line 18 also:

{LOCAL_PATH}/rabl-rails-0.3.0/lib/rabl-rails/library.rb:18:in `const_get'

@justmatt Can you double check your format parameter in your application. For some reason, my format was getting upcased somewhere along the request. I posted a fix for this #25

@Tonkpils Yea thanks, that fixed the problem! I left some comments on you code ( I can't be bothered to submit a pull request). Appreciate you taking the time to reply to me; wouldn't have got this without your encouragement
