Update XERO Item after fetching item fails

Question

I am using the xeroizer gem and facing some issues.

Here is what I have in my controller:

items_found = Item.where(code: codes)
if items_found
      xero.Item.batch_save do
      binding.pry
        items_found.each do |existing_item|
          if existing_item.xero_id
            item = xero.Item.find(existing_item.xero_id)
            item.description     = existing_item.description
            item.unit_price      = existing_item.rate
          else
            item = xero.Item.first(where: { code: existing_item.code })
            item.description     = existing_item.description
            item.unit_price      = existing_item.rate
        end
    end
  end
end

The items_found array contains all items that are already stored and exist in xero, which i get from an array of codes. If the xero_id is stored I try to find the Item but it fails.

However my code fails with this error, after the binding.pry call

Xeroizer::ApiException - PostDataInvalidException: The element 'CogsAccountCode' was not recognised. Ensure the element name has the correct case and that there are no duplicate elements of the same name.

I have found this similar error

There is no mention of CogsAccountCode on the xeroizer gem documentation/code.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

There was a typo in my codes array which (strangely) was not being caught and was still populating items_found.

As soon as I fixed that and codes where properly inserted, the error went away.
