Balanced::BankAccount#debit undefined method `account'

[ginter]

I get an undefined method account when trying to debit a bank account.

From looking through the library, BankAccount#debit forwards to account.debit, but the API doesn't seem to include an account resource in the response, only a customer resource, so the method is never dynamically created.

The card resource, on the other hand, does include both an account and a customer resource, so that works fine.

The docs mirror this as well -

https://docs.balancedpayments.com/current/api.html?language=ruby#retrieve-a-card

Chris, is the bank account associated to a customer? If not that will be the issue. This is a bug within the ruby client library. It should use its own debits_uri to create the debit, not the account. We'll get that fixed.

As a work around you should be able to use the following code:

bank_account = Balanced::BankAccount.find('....')
debit = Balanced::Debit.new(
    :uri => bank_account.debits_uri,
    :amount => 100,
    :appears_on_statement_as => 'foo',
    :description => 'bar',
).save

We a similar issue in the python client. Probably a lesson to be learnt here...
