Print "signature_required" option in Fedex label - Rails

Question

I'm using the fedex gem version 3.9 and cannot get the "signature required" option printed on my fedex label. This is how it looks:

label = fedex.label(
        :filename => "public/labels/#{label_name}",
        :shipper => shipper,
        :recipient => recipient,
        :packages => packages,
        :service_type => service_type,
        :signature_required => true,
        :shipping_options => shipping_options)

I remember this used to work a couple of months ago but now it doesn't.

Let me know if you have any suggestions.

Best,

Turns out that the signature options should be sent as part of the packages. Then it prints the label with the right signature initials

packages = [{
      :weight => {:units => "LB", :value => 3},
      :dimensions => {:length => 10, :width => 5, :height => 4, :units => "IN" },
      :special_services_requested => {:special_service_types => "SIGNATURE_OPTION", :signature_option_detail => {:signature_option_type => "DIRECT"} } 
    }]

  label = fedex.label(
    :filename => "public/labels/#{label_name}",
    :shipper => shipper,
    :recipient => recipient,
    :packages => packages
    :shipping_options => shipping_options)
