paypal_adaptive gem not working?

Question

I am using papal_adaptive gem. I provided my paypal sandbox account details in papal_adaptive.yml file. When I call pay_request = PaypalAdaptive::Request.new, it throws the error below:

    You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
    You might have expected an instance of ActiveRecord::Base.
    The error occurred while evaluating nil.[]

If you are using a gem, then you are talking about Ruby & Ruby on Rails, right? What version are you using? Do you have this error in which controller? — Alberto Solano, Jun 21 '11 at 15:36

Sorry, this is an old thread, but I just wanted to answer your question since I stumbled upon it: when you get this error with the paypal_adaptive gem it is more than likely an error in the hashes in the request you sent to PayPal: check your logs, there should be some indication of which hash is bad.
