Hey, I just updated my trunk and installed the delicious plugin, and while mephisto now recognizes the liquid tag, I get a mile-long list of errors (instead of it just not recognizing the tag). It says its a liquid error that has issues with many files and many lines in ruby and mephisto. Ideas?

I’m not seeing the same problem as Liz but I am seeing the following:

‘Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (2 for 3)’

My template code looks like:

<ul>
  {% delrecentlinks tag: '' as link, count: '10' as count %}
  <li><a href="{{ link.href }}">{{ link.description | escape_html }}</a> {{ link.extended }}</li>
  {% enddelrecentlinks %}
</ul>

Yup. Same as Scott.

Liz: If you pastie me what code you have in your template and what the error is I’ll take a look.

Scott: I’m not sure this is what causing your problem but your syntax is a bit wrong:

{% delrecentlinks count: 10 as link %}

Is more like what it should be.

In general though it looks as though your (and Kevin’s) Mephisto installation may not be new enough now :) Liquids API seems to be a bit of a moving target at the moment so there’s not much I can do about this. Try upgrading to the newest version of Mephisto.

I have the latest stable. What I’m wondering if the install is happening properly. For instance, I used the command:

script/plugin install http://svn.danwebb.net/exte…/trunk/

Which is different that what the readme says, but what is listed mephisto wiki.

It installs everything into a folder call trunk under vendor/plugins

Thanks for your time Dan—i feel this is an important plugin to the adoption of mephisto.

Thanks for the tip Dan. It didn’t end up panning out for me (I tried with a clean trunk version of Mephisto, the latest plugin along with the latest edge Rails), but I managed to fix the problem anyway.

“Moving target” sounds about right ;-)

Scott at 01.02.07 / 16PM

@Scott: What’d you do to resolve it?

Kevin at 01.02.07 / 16PM

@kevin: I emailed scott for the same reason, and this worked for me as well:

change line 13 in the recent_links.rb file from:

def initialize(tag_name, markup, tokens)

to

def initialize(markup, tokens)

Jared: It seems that Liquid’s API has very recently changed because thats how the plugin was before but when I ran in with edge Mephisto (as this site is on) it complained about the wrong number of arguments so I added in the tag_name argument.

Seems that the Liquid guys are making some crazy changes at the moment. Still, thanks for posting the solution here. Hopefully people will find it useful.

Does anyone else find writing tests for the Rails core a bit of a pain in the arse?

You kidding? ;)

Tim Lucas at 06.02.07 / 22PM

I totally agree Dan, writing tests for Core Rails is a pain … :-)

Hi, unfortunately I get the following error:

Liquid error: Request failed with error: undefined method `use_ssl=' for #<Net::HTTP api.del.icio.us:443 open=false

I’ using latest mephisto and as well as latest delicious plugin.

Any help appreciated. Regards, theworkisdone

Okay, so I tried installing and tried the change suggested in the comments… it can’t seem to locate the plugin. In the production.log I get a SyntaxError (Unknown tag ‘delrecentlinks’):...

and then a 500 error. Any thoughts on why that might be happening? I am using Mephisto 0.7.3

I keep getting the error:

Liquid error: Request failed with error: #

then a big long stack trace and

Declarations can only occur in the doctype declaration. Line: Position: Last 80 unconsumed characters:

it doesn’t say which characters…

Hi Peter,

I was getting this error too – a little debugging later and I found that the response was being returned from delicious saying I wasn’t authenticated;

“this server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn’t understand how to supply the credentials required.”

Tracing out the username and password around line #81 of delicious.rb – I found that they were blank; so I set the auth (line 38) to;

@@auth = {:username => ‘myusername’, :password => ‘mypassword’}

Seemed to work ok from then on.

Hi Matt / Peter,

Actually, there’s a nice way to do that thats detailed in the README file.

MephistoDelicious.authenticate :username => 'xxx', :password => 'xxx'
