RubyGems.org doesn't report a license for your gem. This is because it is not specified in the gemspec of your last release.

via e.g.

  spec.license = 'MIT'
  # or
  spec.licenses = ['MIT', 'GPL-2']

Including a license in your gemspec is an easy way for rubygems.org and other tools to check how your gem is licensed. As you can imagine, scanning your repository for a LICENSE file or parsing the README, and then attempting to identify the license or licenses is much more difficult and more error prone. So, even for projects that already specify a license, including a license in your gemspec is a good practice. See, for example, how rubygems.org uses the gemspec to display the rails gem license.

There is even a License Finder gem to help companies/individuals ensure all gems they use meet their licensing needs. This tool depends on license information being available in the gemspec. This is an important enough issue that even Bundler now generates gems with a default 'MIT' license.

I hope you'll consider specifying a license in your gemspec. If not, please just close the issue with a nice message. In either case, I'll follow up. Thanks for your time!

Appendix:

If you need help choosing a license (sorry, I haven't checked your readme or looked for a license file), GitHub has created a license picker tool. Code without a license specified defaults to 'All rights reserved'-- denying others all rights to use of the code.
Here's a list of the license names I've found and their frequencies

p.s. In case you're wondering how I found you and why I made this issue, it's because I'm collecting stats on gems (I was originally looking for download data) and decided to collect license metadata,too, and make issues for gemspecs not specifying a license as a public service :). See the previous link or my blog post about this project for more information.

Fantastic Gem Guys! Just getting started with it.

I added my credentials to the sample config file you have and want to run the specs. I get an error because rake is not included in the gemspec, but the tests depend on it. Is this on purpose or should I fix and do a pull request?

Apologies if this isn't your cup of tea, but I've been enjoying developing a Spree store and using Fedex to print labels for most of the past year. Recent updates to Spree's dependencies have left me unable to use fedex due to its being pinned to httparty 0.11 and nokogiri 1.5. I'm currently using jpowers/fedex and it appears to be working for me with the latest httparty and nokogiri.

Can we cut a new release of the fedex gem that requires the latest releases of its dependencies? If not, I'm open to suggestions on how I could help meet my own need without using much of your time.

Thanks!

Does this ruby gem support for FedExSearchLocationsRequest?
How can we find the nearest fedex locations from an address?

Specifies the criterion that may be used to search for FedEx locations. Valid values are:
 ADDRESS
 GEOGRAPHIC_COORDINATES
 PHONE_NUMBER

The rate class has total_billing_weight mistyped (missing an L):

attr_accessor :service_type, :rate_type, :rate_zone, :total_biling_weight...

This makes the @total_billing_weight value inaccessible from outside the class.

I am having a hell of a time using the CustomerReference options to generate the "Ref:" line on the fedex label.

currently i am trying this:

def customer_references s
{
type: 'CUSTOMER_REFERENCE',
value: "#{s.key} - #{s.li_model.upcase || ''}"
}
end

packages << {
weight: { units: 'LB', value: weight },
customer_references: customer_references(s),
dimensions: { units: 'IN', length: length, width: width, height: height }
}

and am getting the error:
"customerReference value is invalid for customer reference 2 in requestedPackage 1"

I see no test coverage for customer reference support. Does anyone have any recent experience in trying to do such a thing?

I'm just asking incase someone has some insight for me before I dig deeper and fork the gem to add/fix such functionality.

Hi Team,

When I execute this:

fedex.pickup_availability(:country_code => 'IN',
:postal_code => '400061',
:request_type => 'FUTURE_DAY',
:dispatch_date => dispatch_date,
:carrier_code => 'FDXE')

I got error:
Fedex::RateError
{"Fault"=>{"faultcode"=>"soapenv:Server", "faultstring"=>"Schema validation failed for request.", "detail"=>{"fault"=>{"errorCode"=>"5", "reason"=>"Schema validation failed for request.", "details"=>{"ValidationFailureDetail"=>{"message"=>"string value 'pickup' is not a valid enumeration value for ServiceIdType in namespace http://fedex.com/ws/pickup/v5", "xmlLocation"=>{"ServiceId"=>"pickup"}}}}}}}

Need to change service_id 'pickup' to 'disp'

Thanks

Using the Fedex gem with aws-sdk is causing issues since fedex is keyed ~0.8.0 and aws-sdk ~0.9.0. Have you looked into/considered upgrading the gemspec to ~0.9.0 for httparty?

Currently we can not get the expected arrival time/transit time in fedex.rate() method .
It does not show for all service types, but it shows for only FEDEX_GROUND and GROUND_HOME_DELIVERY .

If we go through the fedex site and make a quote it returns the transit time . Please look into this . If there is any other method and not listed in the readme file, please update .

I've been trying to install this gem on Ruby v2.1.2p95 & Rails v 4.0.8 - it seems like the installation goes fine; however, when I go to test it I keep getting the following error. I've uninstalled and reinstalled a handful of times, and I'm just at a loss why it wont load.

I'd really appreciate any help, your project looks really cool and I'd love to try it out!

Cheers,
AS

I'm clueless, I'd appreciate any help.

Hi,

I was trying to use the pickup functionality to create an example pickup request, but ran into a soap validation error saying: "string value 'pickup' is not a valid enumeration value for ServiceIdType" In the Fedex Webservice Developer Guide pickup example the version element has the following values:

<v9:Version>
        <v9:ServiceId>disp</v9:ServiceId>
        <v9:Major>9</v9:Major>
        <v9:Intermediate>0</v9:Intermediate>
        <v9:Minor>0</v9:Minor>
</v9:Version>

If I use this service id in pickup.rb my request is processed correctly. I just started working with the gem so maybe I'am missing something. Is there someone with more experience with pickup requests, who can explain the different service ids?

Regards,
Karsten

Hi all

Can anyone please suggest me the way to set declared value?

More basically, The customer selects the insurance after the package information. This selected insurance should be supplied to fedex.
Earlier in a old plugin we could not able to pass for the same declared value.

Thanks
Any help is appreciated

Hi there,

passing in :service_type => "FEDEX_FREIGHT_ECONOMY" when calling
Fedex::Shipment#rate
gives the following error.

Either a FedEx Freight or Alternate account number and associated address is required for service type FEDEX_FREIGHT_ECONOMY

In order to support freight shipments, the credentials class needs a data member for :freight_account_number

Hi all,

How to set notifications email to send fedex notifications to emails?

How to set delivery_confirmations in fedex api ?

Thanks for this great library. It's mostly well thought out and to the point.

I do have an issue with the Fedex::Label object: I need to get the tracking number from the Label and that requires some kind of change to the code because the Fedex::Label object is not passed the necessary information when Fedex::Request::Label initializes it. I see one possible solution here: https://github.com/jordanbyron/fedex/blob/560b0896772c3b3c0d38923d85f9302311cb6948/lib/fedex/request/label.rb. My inclination is to eliminate the Fedex::Label class outright. There is a lot more information besides the TrackingNumber that is currently lost when Fedex::Request::Label returns a Fedex::Label. I think the expedient solution is to do the simple thing and let Fedex::Request::Label represent itself. The Fedex::Request::Label will keep and expose all of the response so that all of the response information is available.

If I make this change and the maintainers don't agree, then my fork will slowly evolve in another direction. I'd rather that did not happen. What do you think?

It's possible that the address validation service can return multiple suggestions. When this happens it results in the following error:

can't convert Symbol into Integer
/app/vendor/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/gems/fedex-3.0.0/lib/fedex/address.rb:9:in `[]'
/app/vendor/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/gems/fedex-3.0.0/lib/fedex/address.rb:9:in `initialize'

/app/vendor/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/gems/fedex-3.0.0/lib/fedex/shipment.rb:43:in `validate_address'

This is because the structure of response[:address_validation_reply][:address_results][:proposed_address_details] on line 19 of lib/fedex/request/address.rb looks like this (client information hidden):

      :service_id => "aval",
      :major => "2",
      :intermediate => "0",
      :minor => "0"
    },

          :residential_status => "BUSINESS",
          :delivery_point_validation => "CONFIRMED",
          :address => {
            :street_lines => "REDACTED",
            :city => "REDACTED",
            :state_or_province_code => "REDACTED",
            :postal_code => "REDACTED",
            :country_code => "REDACTED"
          },
          :removed_non_address_data => nil
        },
        {
          :score => "0",
          :changes => ["MODIFIED_TO_ACHIEVE_MATCH", "APARTMENT_NUMBER_REQUIRED"],
          :residential_status => "UNDETERMINED",
          :delivery_point_validation => "UNCONFIRMED",
          :address => {
            :street_lines => "REDACTED",
            :city => "REDACTED",
            :state_or_province_code => "REDACTED",
            :postal_code => "REDACTED",
            :country_code => "REDACTED"
          },
          :removed_non_address_data => nil
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

So you can see that it is an array of hashes instead of the singular hash it expects.

I had some trouble running the tests so I didn't feel comfortable trying a real solution yet so here's the quick hack I'm using temporarily (tested in our app's tests for now): stitchfix@785cd33 Obviously this isn't a real solution but it does keep it from breaking.

A real solution likely involves allowing it to handle multiple results rather than just taking the first one and would of course need tests, which I don't have the time today to solve for why they aren't running for me.

In particular this was a case of leaving off an "East" or "West" on the street name so I'm sure that's a common cause.

According to fedex if you do as your example shows:

ship = fedex.ship(:shipper=>shipper,
:recipient => recipient,
:packages => packages,
:service_type => "FEDEX_GROUND",
:shipping_options => shipping_options)
puts ship[:completed_shipment_detail][:operational_detail] [:transit_time]

This will actually generate a shipment on your account that fedex will be expecting to pick up.
I'm working on this in my own fork of the gem, and I post an update here when done.

Can we get 2 types of labels from fedex API?

We can get one label in either .pdf or .pcx format . How can we get both types of label in single label request ?

Currently the thermal printer generating by passing image_type => "EPL2"

example_spec = {
:image_type => "EPL2",
:label_stock_type => "STOCK_4X6"
}

label = fedex.label(:filename => "my_dir/example_epl2.pcx",
:shipper=>shipper,
:recipient => recipient,
:packages => packages,
:service_type => "FEDEX_GROUND",
:shipping_options => shipping_options,
:label_specification => example_spec)

The file saved in .pcx format . But the file could not open in any tool . Tried to open in linux but it says invalid pcx file .

I'm a bit new to the gem, so please forgive me if I missed it, but there doesn't seem to be support for upgrading shipping to Saturday delivery as described http://www.fedex.com/us/developer/product/WebServices/MyWebHelp_August2010/Content/Proprietary_Developer_Guide/Rate_Services_conditionalized.htm

I only see code for COD and Return shipments here

I'm happy to write a pull request if needed, but wanted to make sure it wasn't already in place

In my application Fedex::Shipment::SERVICE_TYPES::GROUND_HOME_DELIVERY is giving error that uninitialize constant "Fedex::Shipment". How to use it and what are the different types of service types. Please help.

Hi, Have you planed the major refactor you've talked about?
Any news?

Hi,

When I try to create an international shipment i get a "Customs Value is required" error.

Is there a way to declare the value of the shipment? Setting insured_value on the package didn't work.

Thank you,

Hello, I just want to ask if this gem is being maintained? I'm planning to use this gem for an app. Huge thanks for the reply.

Hey guys,

nice work with your Fedex gem!

Since I would like to use the Delete request - are you going to release a current gem version on RubyGems anytime soon? The RG version doesn't have the Delete request, yet.

Cheers!

I'll be working on this PR over the next few days as I have time, but wanted to give a heads up:

Is there a way to schedule a pickup with this ruby gem? If not I wouldn't mind submitting a pull request.

If you look at https://github.com/jazminschroeder/fedex/blob/master/lib/fedex/request/base.rb#L49 the code actually uses shipping_options instead of shipping_details. However, the README has many references to a shipping_details option.

It seems none of my options were being passed until I changed this value in my code. It was just using the default values.

I can probably do a pull request at some point but repo has some other changes not ready for a PR as well and I don't immediately see how to separate them.

Getting Package 1 - Weight is missing or invalid error. How to insert quantity here if I have 2 same package?

I am trying to test the tracking API, but getting the following error:

I have not really played with the fedex gem before, I've inherited existing code so please forgive me if this is something simple.

Thanks.

Expected element 'LabelFormatType@http://fedex.com/ws/ship/v10' instead of 'ImageType@http://fedex.com/ws/ship/v10' here in element LabelSpecification

Started getting that after 0ad0aa2 , not exactly sure why i thought it wasn't a problem (this is from my comments in the commit) but it is

I compared the XML returned before and after that and the only difference is the date (of course) it now has a and also the order of was different, changed the definition of it and it works now

before

        @label_specification = {
          :label_format_type => 'COMMON2D',
          :image_type => 'PDF',
          :label_stock_type => 'PAPER_LETTER'
        }

after

        @label_specification = ActiveSupport::OrderedHash.new
        @label_specification[:label_format_type] = 'COMMON2D'
        @label_specification[:image_type] = 'PDF'

Please help.

Hey Guys,

I seem to be having trouble requesting Transit times - for both fedex.ship and fedex.rate requests I'm returning @transit_time=nil for shipping service types except FEDEX_GROUND

It this a known limitation of this gem, does anyone know how to return transit time along with rates?

In the FedEX Documentation I found this:

Use the optional ReturnTransitAndCommit element to include transit time information in the reply. FedEx Express information will include the day and date the package will be delivered, based on the ship date you specified. The FedEx Ground response will describe the number of business days required for the package delivery

Thanks!

I got the labels to create a full-size PDF, but it shows up distorted when printing to the ZP500 Thermal Printer to print FedEx labels. How can I create the labels in such a way that I can print to a thermal printer? When creating the label I have:

fedex.label( ..., :label_specifications => LABEL_SPECS )

LABEL_SPECS = { :label_format_type => "COMMON2D", :image_type => "ZPLII", :label_stock_type => "STOCK_4X6" }

I've gone through the FedEx API docs and tried any and all combinations for the label specs with no luck.

This is not exactly an issue, but need some suggestions, as most people working with Fedex would require to print labels using thermal printers.

How do you usually view PCX file on your mac systems?

UPDATE
I worked on this and found to be very unproductive. Rather choose ZPLII for Lable Image and google how to view the now generated PCX file. Its much cleaner and productive.

when making a rate request the currency attribute which is returned for all nodes with an amount (in ShipmentRateDetail) is ignored when the Rate object is created. Is there any reason that this is ignored?

I'm trying to add some custom text content to my fedex labels, which I should be able to add via the label_specification element. However, the version of your gem I currently have is using v10 of their web services, and I'm having trouble finding their documentation for historical web services versions. Do you happen to know how to find versioned documentation from Fedex?

Thanks.

I can get everything to work properly, but on new tracking numbers that haven't been scanned in yet i get a Fedex::RateError

Specifically, it says:
No information for the following shipments has been received by our system yet. Please try again or contact Customer Service at 1.800.Go.FedEx(R) 800.463.3339.

I guess I need to account for the error code? Is there a way to get it to return a nil value?

Hi, sorry to bother you with this issue, but I am new to the Fedex world and I was requested to use this API for address validation.

I followed the examples, and while I can succesfully use other APIs (i.e. the rate API) the address validation doesn't work, it returns a Fedex::RateError: Authentication Failed error. Since credentials are the same I'm a bit frowned.
Any help would be appreciated ;-)

How to set rate_request_type => 'RETAIL'

We need the exact results from fedex . We checked in base.rb the rate_request_type is set to 'ACCOUNT', We checked by changing rate_request_type => 'RETAIL' , but it is sending the same result . And it is very diffrent than what fedex is showing .

Excellent gem. Though one feature I'd like to see and one I plan on implementing myself is a rate request for Freight shipments. Before I dived in, I wanted to enquire if there were in caveats you guys came across in not implementing it?

After looking at the wsdl, the Fedex:::Request:::FreightRate code could easily be built.

Thoughts?

I am using rails 2.3.14 . Can I include and work with this gem?

What should be the minimum Ruby and Rails version this gem can acceptable?

Thanks
