    text
    copied!<p>I have a Savon SOAP session where I get a response that is converted to an array. Part of this response is then stored in an variable package containing a hash like this;</p> <pre><code>{ :cancellation_policies=&gt;nil, :contract_id=&gt;"834", :hotel_id=&gt;"41298", :package_id=&gt;"6b0938e-bf45ed4facda", :package_price=&gt;{ :currency=&gt;"NOK", :final_price=&gt;"1400.05", :final_price_in_supplier_currency=&gt;"169", :original_price=&gt;"1400.05", :original_price_in_supplier_currency=&gt;"169", :supplier_currency=&gt;"GBP" }, :rooms=&gt;{ :room=&gt;{ :adults_count=&gt;"2", :availability=&gt;"Available", :description=&gt;{ :"@xmlns:a"=&gt;"http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/Arrays" }, :id=&gt;"6de98b4b-256e-47de-bbd3-700602a16e8e", :kids_ages=&gt;{ :"@xmlns:a"=&gt;"http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/Arrays" }, :price=&gt;{ :currency=&gt;"NOK", :final_price=&gt;"1419.05", :final_price_in_supplier_currency=&gt;"165", :original_price=&gt;"1419.05", :original_price_in_supplier_currency=&gt;"165", :supplier_currency=&gt;"GBP" }, :room_basis=&gt;"Bed and Breakfast BB", :room_basis_original=&gt;"Room and Breakfast (American Buffet Breakfast)", :room_class=&gt;"Standard", :room_class_original=&gt;"Double Room", :room_type=&gt;"Double", :room_type_original=&gt;"Double Room" } }, :supplier_id=&gt;"21", :supplier_name=&gt;"HTP" } </code></pre> <p>The strange thing happens when i try to access package[:cancellation_policies] i get an error saying; can't convert Symbol into Integer. </p> <p>How do I access for instance :cancellation_policies ? </p> <p>package.inspect gives;</p> <pre><code>{ :cancellation_policies=&gt;nil, :contract_id=&gt;"834", :hotel_id=&gt;"41298", :package_id=&gt;"4e80e642-13eb-48d6-9f1e-8b35f1c406ca", :package_price=&gt;{:currency=&gt;"NOK", :final_price=&gt;"1677.06", :final_price_in_supplier_currency=&gt;"195", :original_price=&gt;"1677.06", :original_price_in_supplier_currency=&gt;"195", :supplier_currency=&gt;"GBP"}, :rooms=&gt;{:room=&gt;{:adults_count=&gt;"2", :availability=&gt;"Available", :description=&gt;{:"@xmlns:a"=&gt;"http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/Arrays"}, :id=&gt;"dce10420-bbc5-471e-b388-03d6bb132e27", :kids_ages=&gt;{:"@xmlns:a"=&gt;"http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/Arrays"}, :price=&gt;{:currency=&gt;"NOK", :final_price=&gt;"1677.06", :final_price_in_supplier_currency=&gt;"195", :original_price=&gt;"1677.06", :original_price_in_supplier_currency=&gt;"195", :supplier_currency=&gt;"GBP"}, :room_basis=&gt;"Bed and Breakfast BB", :room_basis_original=&gt;"Breakfast (Full Breakfast)", :room_class=&gt;"Standard", :room_class_original=&gt;"Standard Double - Double", :room_type=&gt;"Double", :room_type_original=&gt;"Standard Double - Double"}}, :supplier_id=&gt;"21", :supplier_name=&gt;"HTP"} </code></pre> <p>(As far as I can tell the same output as above?)</p> <p>So I tried with; </p> <pre><code>&lt;% package.each do |key, value| %&gt; &lt;%= key %&gt; is &lt;%= value %&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; </code></pre> <p>which nicely prints contract_id is 834 hotel_id is 41298</p> <p>...and so on, if that clarifies anything?</p> <p>So temporary thing that solves it for me;</p> <pre><code>package_as_hash = Hash.new package.each do |key, value| package_as_hash[key] = value end </code></pre> <p>Highly doubt its the most efficient way but at least it works... </p>
