Putting the Discogs API on Rails – ActiveDiscogs

I had a look inside ActiveResource as it is part of Rails since version 2.1, and tried to use it to access the Discogs API. It turned out to be a bit difficult and required a bit more coding than accessing a regular Rails RESTful API.
That’s the reason why i created a Rails Plugin which supports the basic tasks for now (getting releases, artists and labels). Future versions will support searching and caching and a bit more.
The project goes by the name of ActiveDiscogs and is available on http://activediscogs.rubyforge.org/
Feel free to join and play with it 
Ah, before i forget: To install just use
script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/activediscogs

Hi there, I’ve just taken a look at this but I’ve hit a problem and can’t figure out what it is (it may be because it’s a little late here).
When I try ActiveDiscogs::Artist.find(‘Nirvana’)
I get the following error:
ArgumentError: expected an attributes Hash, got nil
from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activeresource-2.2.2/lib/active_resource/base.rb:939:in `load’
from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activeresource-2.2.2/lib/active_resource/base.rb:653:in `initialize’
I’m running on Rails 2.2.2 if that makes any difference.
