Testing sending events to EventStore with Elixir

eventstore_test.ex

iex(1)> event = [%{"eventId" => "fbf4a1a1-b4a3-4dfe-a01f-ec52c34e16e4", "eventType" => "event-type", "data" => %{"a" => "1"}}]
[%{"data" => %{"a" => "1"}, "eventId" => "fbf4a1a1-b4a3-4dfe-a01f-ec52c34e16e4",
   "eventType" => "event-type"}]

iex(2)> {:ok, json_event} = JSX.encode event
{:ok,
 "[{\"data\":{\"a\":\"1\"},\"eventId\":\"fbf4a1a1-b4a3-4dfe-a01f-ec52c34e16e4\",\"eventType\":\"event-type\"}]"}

iex(3)> {:ok, post} = HTTPoison.request(:post, "http://127.0.0.1:2113/streams/newstream", json_event, [{"Content-Type", "vnd.eventstore.events+json"}])
{:ok,

## FIX ##
defmodule EventStore do
  
  def store_event(stream, event_type, event_data) do

    {:ok, data} = JSX.encode event_data

    HTTPoison.request(:post, "http://localhost:2113/streams/#{stream}", data, [{"Content-Type","application/json"},{"ES-EventType",event_type},{"ES-EventId",UUID.uuid1}])
    
  end
end

I was able to solve my issue by posting the EventType and EventId in the headers rather then in the JSON data.

then you should change your content type to application/json

http://docs.geteventstore.com/http-api/3.1.0-pre/writing-to-a-stream/

btw your content type should be application/vnd.eventstore.events+json in your original example ...

Ah yes it should. Thanks. I am going to be working this into a CQRS example I am playing with in Elixir. https://github.com/ddamko/elixir_cqrs_es

I do continually get this error after running ./run-node.sh on my linux machine
