API request failed with code 422: {"errors":{"message":"Error parsing params (roadall)"}}

[tom-doerr]

When I run

dummy3.stage_rate_change(1, 1586815200, 1586820000) 
dummy3.commit_road()

I get the following output:

Exception: API request failed with code 422: {"errors":{"message":"Error parsing params (roadall)"}}

Am I using stage_rate_change correctly? Is it correct to input the start and end timestamps as Unix timestamps?

Hmm, maybe you've found a bug. Could you put a print statement in the Beeminder API wrapper class to see exactly what's being sent, and see if that makes sense / try sending that to the Beeminder API manually?

…

This is the data that is being sent (I removed the tokens):

data: {'auth_token': ''}
data: {'roadall': [[1576429200, 0, None]], 'auth_token': ''}

The Unix timestamp 1576429200 is neither the start nor the end timestamp I set, but the timestamp of the first datapoint for the goal.
I guess the error occurs because the timestamp corresponds to Sun Dec 15 18:00:00 CET 2019.
After that I looked into self._dense_path and noticed that the rate is not changed there since the steps are bigger than the timestamp range that I set for stage_rate_change.
After increasing the range to 1586815200(Tue Apr 14 00:00:00 CEST 2020) - 1587820000 (Sat Apr 25 15:06:40 CEST 2020), pyminder transmits the following:

data: {'auth_token': ''}
data: {'roadall': [[1576429200, 0, None], [1587747600, None, 1], [1907600400, None, 0]], 'auth_token': ''}

The error message is the same one as before.
Should the roadall array contain more datapoints? The range for the rate change is 11 days.
