client.meta.users

Hi
Following function is not working as expected.

client.meta.users

Getting this exception from gem
NoMethodError: undefined method []' for nil:NilClass from /home/zee/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.3.3/gems/bamboozled-0.1.0/lib/bamboozled/api/meta.rb:8:in block (2 levels) in class:Meta'
from (irb):280

Hope you will fix it

Thanks

I ran into this today so I cloned the gem and added a binding.pry here so I could inspect the returned results:

module Bamboozled
  module API
    class Meta < Base

      [:field, :table, :list, :user].each do |action|
        define_method("#{action}s") do
          result = request(:get, "meta/#{action}s")
          require "pry"; binding.pry
          result["#{action}s".to_sym][action]
        end
      end

    end
  end
end

I then tested each of the defined methods and found:

• client.meta.fields returns an Array and will not work with result["#{action}s".to_sym][action]
• client.meta.tables errors out for me with an invalid date error in the xml parser, could be something to do with my companies Bamboo setup. Anyways, couldn't figure out what the result shape looks like but according to the docs it should be nested such that result["#{action}s".to_sym][action] would work.
• client.meta.lists works as advertised with result["#{action}s".to_sym][action].
• client.meta.users returns a Hash keyed by the id value of the user, so this will not work with result["#{action}s".to_sym][action].

I'm going to cut a PR that fixes client.meta.fields and client.meta.users. Probably won't have tests in my first draft of the PR because I want to just get a commit out there I can test manually with.

@mjording thanks for giving this solution.
I am doing this by placing a file in config/initializers directory

Bamboo hr api has no any explanation about this.
I need confirmation that is this 'client.meta.users' return all users in a company including terminated,deleted as well?

@mjording
Here is an example to get terminated employee.
I've test but not getting terminated users.
