Hi Everyone,

I am trying to get some information posted using our accountancy package (FreeAgentCentral) using their API via a GEM.

http://github.com/aaronrussell/freeagent_api/

I have the following code to get it working (supposedly):

Kase Controller

def create
    @kase = Kase.new(params[:kase])
    @company = Company.find(params[:kase][:company_id])
    @kase = @company.kases.create!(params[:kase])

    respond_to do |format|
      if @kase.save
        UserMailer.deliver_makeakase("[email protected]", "Highrise", @kase)
        @kase.create_freeagent_project(current_user)

        #flash[:notice] = 'Case was successfully created.'
        flash[:notice] = fading_flash_message("Case was successfully created & sent to Highrise.", 5)

        format.html { redirect_to(@kase) }
        format.xml  { render :xml => @kase, :status => :created, :location => @kase }
      else
        format.html { render :action => "new" }
        format.xml  { render :xml => @kase.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity }
      end
    end
  end

To save you looking through, the important part is:

@kase.create_freeagent_project(current_user)

Kase Model

The above render the following error when trying to create a new Case and send the details to FreeAgent:

and

If anyone can shed any light on this problem it would be greatly appreciated!
