probes.active throws an error if active == false

[rberger]

It seems that if you get the list of probes using Pingdom::Probe and a probe listing has "active" => false, the method missing look up fails. I could not figure out why myself.

Here's an example. It turned ou in my case the first probe had actve set to false, the second probe had it true. So when I try to access the active method on the first one, I get an exception, but I can access all the other attributes/methods fine. Here I show accessing the ip method and then failing on active.

client = Pingdom::Client.new :username => u, :password => p, :key => k
probes = client.probes

puts probes[0].inspect #=> #<Pingdom::Probe id: 17 country: "Sweden" city: "Stockholm" name: "Stockholm, Sweden" active: false hostname: "s238.pingdom.com" ip: "83.140.19.38" countryiso: "SE">

puts probes[0].ip #=> 83.140.19.38


puts probes[0].active #=> NoMethodError: undefined method `active' for #<Pingdom::Probe:0x000001022eb0f0>
    from /Users/rberger/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290/gems/pingdom-client-0.0.6.alpha/lib/pingdom/base.rb:26:in `method_missing'
    from (irb):32
    from /Users/rberger/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p290/bin/irb:16:in `<main>'

And on the second probe where active is true I can access all the attributes including active:

puts probes[1].inspect #=> #<Pingdom::Probe id: 21 country: "Canada" city: "Montreal" name: "Montreal, Canada" active: true hostname: "s34.pingdom.com" ip: "67.205.112.79" countryiso: "CA">

puts probes[1].ip #=> 67.205.112.79

puts probes[1].active #=> true

By the way if I add an attributes alias in probe.rb so that:

    attributes :countryiso => [:country_iso, :country_code],

is changed to:

    attributes :countryiso => [:country_iso, :country_code],
               :active  => [:enabled]

Both probes[0].active and probes[0].enabled works
