client.follow returns empty array []

[frankelia]

require 'tumblr_client'

client = Tumblr::Client.new({
    # my config stuff
})

puts client.info # works

puts client.follow('http://non-existent-tumblr-url000.tumblr.com') # => {"status"=>404, "msg"=>"Not Found"}
puts client.follow('http://collegehumor.tumblr.com') # => []

Shouldn't be an authorization issue since I can do everything else. The account its not followed (it's not just the response that's empty).

I tried executing this myself and didn't have any issues. Can you try the following sample and paste the output?

irb(main):030:0> client.following['blogs'].map{|x| x['name']}.grep('collegehumor')
=> []
irb(main):031:0> client.follow('http://collegehumor.tumblr.com')
=> []
irb(main):032:0> client.following['blogs'].map{|x| x['name']}.grep('collegehumor')
=> ["collegehumor"]

You're right. It actually follows people, I guess I was just confused by the empty return cause I was expecting something different.

I kinda agree that this was a poor response when I designed the client. We probably should have it return a boolean or some other structured object that it actually succeeded since [], definitely gives the indication that it failed.

Lame sauce.
