使用shopify_api gem更新智能收藏夹中的产品订单时出现文件结尾错误

Question

Setting products attribute in the order method for more than 400 products throws following error even before calling collection.save

 EOFError: end of file reached error 

The documentation says you can send 250 positions. But the order endpoint seams to accept 300 positions successfully.

So, can we set more than 250 product ids in the order? Ir is there any limitation on that?

And what does that error actually mean?

My code:

    collection = ShopifyAPI::SmartCollection.find(8748376382)
    collection.order(products: [9234893,3483448,8783473,"..."])

Answer 1

Answering my own question.

I think the end of file error is caused beause of some issue occuring because the query URI's length is exceeding 14000 charecters when updating 400 products although PUT request doesn't have any limit on the URI length I just found a way to update more than 300 product by sending the product ids in the body of the put request.

Edit the file /usr/local/bundle/gems/shopify_api-5.2.2/lib/shopify_api/resources/smart_collection.rb (as of my gem install path) as follows

module ShopifyAPI
  class SmartCollection
    def order_products(ids)
      load_attributes_from_response(put(:order, nil, {products: ids}.to_json))
    end
  end
end

Example usage:

sorted_ids = [12345,12346]
collection.order_products(sorted_ids)
