Example are broken ...

[jamesladd]

In your doco you say this:

lookup an item with the amazon standard identification number (asin)

items = client.lookup '1430218150'

have a look at the title of the item

items.first.item_attributes.title => Learn Objective-C on the Mac (Learn Series)

BUT if you execute that it fails saying 'item_attributes' method undefined.

What is the set of methods you can call on a returned item given they are not defined on the SimpleItem class?

[phoet]

could you create a gist with your code and references to the ruby version and gem version you are using? there is no such thing as SimpleItem any longer.

[jamesladd]

The gist is the same code as the readme on this github project.

Updating the README with code that works is probably all that is needed. For example:

In IRB> client = ASIN::Client.instance items = client.search_keywords('smalltalk', 'pattern') item = items.first item.raw['OfferSummary'] item.raw['OfferSummary']['LowestNewPrice']['FormattedPrice']

Where as 'items.first.item_attributes.title' wont work.

Again, which version are you using? On Jul 4, 2014 1:28 AM, "James Ladd" notifications@github.com wrote:

Check your Gemfile.lock or

gem list --local | grep asin

[phoet]

when you are looking for documentation, make sure you are looking for the docs on the right version.

with gems, there is a builtin thing called ri that you can leverage to see docs

○ → gem install asin -v=1.1.2 --ri --rdoc
[...]
○ → ri ASIN

[jamesladd]

You should put that at the top of the readme and suggest that what follows might be out of date.

[phoet]

THE VERSION YOU ARE USING IS OUT OF DATE!

@jamesladd the current version is 2.0.1

[jamesladd]

I didnt specify a version in my Gemfile. I wonder why I got an older version then.

You probably bundle a long time ago, and then never ran bundle update.

1 week ago.

Have you ever used asin before? I think bundler would reference an existing version on your machine if you don't lock a version in.
