Rails Nested JSON Include

Question

I'm trying to use include for my json response, which works great, but when I start to nest it, I'm getting a strange result

The include doesn't return the gym object. If I flip the order and put trainer last, that object doesn't get returned.

Am I missing something with my syntax ?

msg = {:requests => @customer_sessions.as_json(:include => [:session_coupon, :trainer => {:methods => [:rating, :completed_sessions_length, :following]}, :gym => {:methods => :rating}])}
format.json  { render :json => msg }

quick idea, try a hash instead of an array to :include. EG: :include => {:one, :two, :three} — Rots

@Rots I don't think that works, but I understand your idea. Hashes need a key value pair right ? — DaynaJuliana

Yeah that's right. Was thinking more like this :include {:trainer => {:methods => [:rating, :completed_sessions_length, :following]}, :gym => {:methods => :rating}} — Rots

Adding hashes worked for those interested

msg = {:status => "SUCCESS", :messages => "Requests Found", :requests => @customer_sessions.as_json(:include => [:session_coupon, {:trainer => {:methods => [:rating, :completed_sessions_length, :following]}}, {:gym => {:method => :rating}}])}
format.json  { render :json => msg } # don't do msg.to_json
