I recently created a ruby script to login to salesforce and create some objects. It has worked for about a week and all of a sudden the same script will no longer login. It says that I have the wrong name, password, or security token or that I may be locked out.

To verify I have the correct security token, I reset it and put it in the script as [password][security token]. Still fails to login. 

I tried downloaded the wsdl again to see if the endpoint I need changed. It is still the same.

In case of being logged out, I checked and it says a the user will be locked out for 15 minutes. I went to lunch for an hour came back and still failed to login.

I don't know what could be going wrong, does anyone have advice to a solution?

I created a new contact with the code below. Got the successful response from the xml shown below. But, I logged into salesforce and do not see the contact I created. Is something wrong with the code? does it take a while for new candidates to appear?

Thanks.

client.create! do |s|

  s.namespace = 'urn:enterprise.soap.sforce.com'

  s.namespaces["xmlns:urn1"] = 'urn:sobject.enterprise.soap.sforce.com'

  s.namespaces["xmlns:xsi"] = 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'

  s.header = {'xsi:SessionHeader' => {'xsi:sessionId' => 'session id'}}

  s.body = {"xsi:sObjects" => {"FirstName" => 'Test', "LastName" => 'Tester'}, :attributes! => {"xsi:sObjects" => {"xsi:type" => 'urn1:Contact'}}}.to_soap_xml

end

I am trying to create a new Contact.

The soap error says: "The prefix "wsdl" for element "wsdl:create" is not bound."

s.namespaces["xmlns:urn"] = 'urn:enterprise.soap.sforce.com'

s.namespaces["xmlns:urn1"] = 'urn1:sobject.enterprise.soap.sforce.com'

s.namespaces["xmlns:xsi"] = 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'

s.header = {'urn:SessionHeader' => {'urn:sessionId' => 'my session id'}}

s.body = {"urn:sObjects" => {"FirstName" => 'Test', "LastName" => 'Tester'}, :attributes! => {"urn:sObjects" => {"xsi:type" => 'urn1:Contact'}}}.to_soap_xml

The xml being sent is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<env:Envelope

xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

xmlns:urn1="urn1:sobject.enterprise.soap.sforce.com"

xmlns:urn="urn:enterprise.soap.sforce.com"

xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

<env:Header>

<urn:SessionHeader>

<urn:sessionId>my session id</urn:sessionId>

</urn:SessionHeader>

</env:Header>

<env:Body>

<wsdl:create>

<urn:sObjects xsi:type="urn1:Contact">

<LastName>Tester</LastName>

<FirstName>Test</FirstName>

</urn:sObjects>

</wsdl:create>

</env:Body>

</env:Envelope>

I believe it needs to be <urn:create> not <wsdl:create> but I cannot figure out how to do that. I am using ruby and the savon libraray. Are my namespaces correct?

I am trying to create a new custom object. But even before I do that I am trying to make a new Contact just to verify I know how to create something.

I keep getting an error about the xsi:type not being bound to a specific element. I looked in the enterprise wsdl and I believe I found what the xsi type is.

The definition at the top of the enterpise.wsdl looks like this:

<definitions targetNamespace="urn:enterprise.soap.sforce.com" xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:tns="urn:enterprise.soap.sforce.com" xmlns:fns="urn:fault.enterprise.soap.sforce.com" xmlns:ens="urn:sobject.enterprise.soap.sforce.com">

So the type is ens?

Here is the code after a successful login:

I am trying to create a new Contact using the salesforce api with the savon client using ruby.

client.create! do |s|

    s.body = {"wsdl:sObjects" => {"FirstName" => 'Test', "LastName" => 'Tester'}, :attributes! => {"wsdl:sObjects" => {"xsi:type" => 'ens:Contact'}}}.to_soap_xml

end
