使用google-apis-youtube_v3 gem调用update_video方法触发ArgumentError错误

Looks like you ran into a common gotcha with the YouTube Ruby SDK—let's break down why this error is happening and how to fix it.

The Root Cause #

The update_video method doesn’t accept a plain Ruby hash as the second argument. Instead, it expects an instance of the Google::Apis::YoutubeV3::Video class. When you pass a hash, the gem tries to interpret its keys as keyword arguments (hence the "unknown keywords" error), which isn’t what the method is designed to handle.

Step-by-Step Fix #

Replace your plain hash with properly instantiated SDK class objects for the Video, VideoSnippet, and VideoStatus. Here’s how to adjust your code:

# Create the VideoSnippet object with your desired metadata
snippet = Google::Apis::YoutubeV3::VideoSnippet.new(
  category_id: "27",
  default_language: "en",
  description: "Testing updating description and title.",
  tags: ["tag1", "tag2", "tag3"],
  title: "Test video upload using Ruby SDK"
)

# Create the VideoStatus object for privacy settings
status = Google::Apis::YoutubeV3::VideoStatus.new(
  privacy_status: "private"
)

# Create the main Video object with your target video ID
video = Google::Apis::YoutubeV3::Video.new(
  id: 'XYZ123',
  snippet: snippet,
  status: status
)

# Now call update_video with the properly formatted Video instance
resp = s.update_video('id,snippet,status', video)

Key Notes #

• Part Parameter: You already got this right—make sure the part string includes every section you’re updating (id,snippet,status in this case). If you only need to update specific fields (like just the title), you can narrow the part to 'snippet' and omit unused sections from both the Video object and the part parameter.
• Permission Check: Your authorization scope (AUTH_YOUTUBE_FORCE_SSL) is correct for updating videos, so that shouldn’t be an issue. Just double-check that the authenticated account owns the video you’re trying to modify.
• Video ID: Ensure the id you’re passing matches exactly the video you want to update (no typos or extra characters).
