Get_attributes has stopped working

Here is a method that creates a hash internally, then converts it to JSON.
It can be modified and renamed, omit the the call to load the json library, remove the last statement that creates the JSON String object, and replace it with a “return h” statement:

Get Component Attribute value to json in Ruby On Rails

See: AttributeDictionary#each_pair When the JSON library has been required: require "json" … Then, …basically: def get_json_from_dict( obj, dict_name ) d = obj.attribute_dictionary(dict_name,false) return false if d.nil? h = {} # create a hash d.each_pair {|k,v| h[k]=v } "{ #{dict_name} : #{h.to_json} }" end Ref: Index of Classes & Methods in json: Ruby Standard Library Documentation (Ruby 2.2.4)

Basically this:

def self.get_attrs( obj, dict_name )
  d = obj.attribute_dictionary(dict_name,false)
  return false if d.nil?
  h = {} # create a hash
  d.each_pair {|k,v| h[k]=v }
  return h
end
