Undefined method `=~' for [:ReturnEnvelope, :Boolean]:Array

[acimadamore]

I'm receiving the error in the title when sending a Letter. It seems that the problem is with attributes that are mapped to Open API type that is an Ruby Array.

In this error in particular return_envelope is mapped to Array[:ReturnEnvelope, :Boolean]:

lob-ruby/lib/openapi_client/models/letter.rb

Line 190 in 2591d23

:'return_envelope' => Array[:'ReturnEnvelope', :'Boolean'],

The second if in Letter#build_from_hash breaks because a =~ is sent to the array instance:

lob-ruby/lib/openapi_client/models/letter.rb

Line 624 in 2591d23

elsif type =~ /\AArray<(.*)>/i

Maybe the third if should precede the second one and add a check if type responds_to(:=~)? This problem should be present in all the implementations of build_form_hash of other model classes.

Thanks!

Hey, I hit this issue too: #216, see their reply there.

I'm hitting this same issue with gem version 6.0.9 after upgrading to Ruby 3.2.0. Is Lob doing anything about this? Am I expected to patch the code myself and rebuild the gem?

That's a shame, I was hoping the newer versions fixed it.
You can use my fork over here. I haven't updated it to the latest, it's on 6.0.5.

@arich Thanks. I ended up forking it as well and patching it with your code suggestion. That fixed the issue. I will hold out hope that Lob figures this out so I can use the official gem.

Sounds good, I'm not promising I'll maintain this forever so best to use your own fork!

Same just hit this error, still no fix after almost a year?
