Extra argument 'method' in call

Question

Getting error while calling Alamofire request method in the latest version(4.0.0).

The syntax is:

Alamofire.request(urlString,method: .post, parame         


        

Answer 1

My problem was in optional parameters in the headers that were not unwrapped.

Answer 2

I can only refer you to: https://github.com/Alamofire/Alamofire/issues/1508#issuecomment-246207682

Basically, if one of your parameters is of the wrong type, the swift compiler will assume you're using request(urlRequest:URLRequestConvertible) and then, the method is an extra argument

Go over that parameters again and make sure all is of correct type (Parameters?, ParameterEncoding, and HTTPHeaders)

Answer 3

It means that some of the parameters type are wrong, check that you are sending these values:

url: String
method: HTTPMethod  (E.g: .post)
parameters: [String:Any]
encoding: ParameterEncoding  (E.g: JSONEncoding.default)
headers: [String: String]

Answer 4

It is always because im using optional variables in any of the parameters

Answer 5

Updated for Swift 3:

let requestString = "https://thawing-inlet-46474.herokuapp.com/charge.php"
        let params = ["stripeToken": token.tokenId, "amount": "200", "currency": "usd", "description": "testRun"]

        Alamofire.request(requestString,method: .post, parameters: params, encoding: JSONEncoding.default, headers: [:]).responseJSON { (response:DataResponse<Any>) in

            switch(response.result) {
            case .success(_):
                if response.result.value != nil{
                    print("response : \(response.result.value)")
                }
                break

            case .failure(_):
                print("Failure : \(response.result.error)")
                break

            }
        }

Answer 6

I fixed this by ensuring my requestUrls are strings, and not URL types. Also I removed parameter arguments for when parameter was nil.

E.g.

Alamofire.request(requestUrl, method: .get, encoding: URLEncoding.default)
