Create empty file using Drive API-CodePudding

I create this code, using this reference https://developers.google.com/drive/api/quickstart/ruby

class Drive
  def initialize
    @drive_service                                 = Google::Apis::DriveV3::DriveService.new
    @drive_service.client_options.application_name = APPLICATION_NAME
    @drive_service.authorization                   = authorize
  end

  def create_file
    data = { 'name': "My new Sheet #{Time.now.strftime('%d/%m/%Y %H:%M')}",
             'mimeType': 'application/vnd.google-apps.spreadsheet' }
    @drive_service.create_file(data).execute
  end

  def share_file
    "to be filled"
  end

  def list_files
    response = @drive_service.list_files(page_size: 10, fields: 'nextPageToken, files(id, name)')
    puts 'Files:'
    puts 'No files found' if response.files.empty?
    response.files.each do |file|
      puts "#{file.name} (#{file.id})"
    end
  end
end

The method list_files works well, but the create_file return me this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
    2: from quickstart.rb:79:in `<main>'
    1: from quickstart.rb:60:in `create_file'
/home/vagrant/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.7.2/gems/google-api-client-0.53.0/generated/google/apis/drive_v3/service.rb:895:in `create_file': unknown keywords: :name, :mimeType (ArgumentError)

I created it based on this create method reference: https://googleapis.dev/ruby/google-api-client/latest/Google/Apis/DriveV3/DriveService.html#create_file-instance_method but I still can't get it to work, what could be wrong?

I tried changing the creation to: @drive_service.create_file(file_object = data).execute

Let's compare your code,

data = { 'name': "My new Sheet ...
@drive_service.create_file(data).execute

vs. the documented method signature.

`create_file(file_object = nil, enforce_single_parent: nil, ignore_default_visibility: nil, include_permissions_for_view: nil, keep_revision_forever: nil, ocr_language: nil, supports_all_drives: nil, supports_team_drives: nil, use_content_as_indexable_text: nil, fields: nil, quota_user: nil, user_ip: nil, upload_source: nil, content_type: nil, options: nil) {|result, err| ... } ⇒ Google::Apis::DriveV3::File`
- file_object (Google::Apis::DriveV3::File) (defaults to: nil)

The first argument should be an instance of Google::Apis::DriveV3::File, but you are passing a Hash.

CodePudding user response：

According to this documentation:

When supplying hashes for request objects. If it is the last argument to a method, some versions of Ruby will interpret the hash as keyword arguments. To prevent this, appending an empty hash as an extra parameter will avoid misinterpretation.
file = {id: '123', title: 'My document', labels: { starred: true }}
file = drive.create_file(file) # Raises ArgumentError: unknown keywords: id, title, labels
file = drive.create_file(file, {}) # Returns a Drive::File instance

In your code, just add {} as 2nd parameter for create_file.

From:

@drive_service.create_file(data)

To:

@drive_service.create_file(data, {})

Let me know if this works on your end.
