connection code:

class MyApi

  URI = nil #base api uri
  attr :connection

  def initialize(opts = {})
    @uri = opts[:uri] || URI
    @key = opts[:key] || get_key(opts[:username], opts[:password])
    raise ConnectionError, 'no api key' unless @key

    @connection = Faraday.new(@uri) do |b|
      b.adapter Faraday.default_adapter
      b.request :json
      b.response :logger
      b.response :raise_error
      b.response :json, :content_type => "application/json"
    end
    @connection.headers['X-ApiToken'] = @key
  end
end

so if i do:

api = MyApi.new(key)
api.connection.put("forms/#{id}.json", params)

i receive the above error and backtrace. originally, I had the request setup as

b.request :url_encode
b.request :multipart

[mislav]

You need to put adapter last in the list of middleware.

[ckhall]

thanks mislav!

[KarlGl]

For anyone else having this problem I simply had to call .to_json on the hash I was sending as the body.

[a0s]

Why Faraday not call to_json/to_x_www_form_urlencoded automatic according request's content type?

[iMacTia]

@a0s it does, if you use one of the request middlewares.
If you manually set the Content-Type header to any value, then faraday won't touch your body.
See the below example to set AND encode the body:

connection = Faraday.new(@uri) do |b|
    b.request :json # This will set the "Content-Type" header to application/json and call .to_json on the body
    b.adapter Faraday.default_adapter
end

If you prefer to use x_www_form_urlencoded instead, simply swap b.request :json with b.request :url_encoded

[danajackson2]

@iMacTia I believe it's b.request :url_encoded

[iMacTia]

@danajackson2 you're very right! I've edited my comment above, thanks for pointing it out and sorry for the typo 🙏 !
