Description

I try to call custom button action in remote region, but i have method_missing error

cn = ManageIQ::API::Client.new( :url => url, :miqtoken => region.api_system_auth_token('admin'), :ssl => {:verify => false})
col = cn.public_send(:services)
res = col.find(id)
res.public_send(:my_custom_button, nil)

NoMethodError: undefined method `my_custom_button' for #<ManageIQ::API::Client::Resource::Service:0x000000070c0dd0>

my_custom_button exists and works properly when I call directly

GET /api/services/:id returns my custom button action, but res.actions doesnt return

Research direction

Start by tracing ManageIQ::API::Client::Resource::Service, its method_missing handling, and the actions response from GET /api/services/:id. Reproduce the custom button call and inspect why res.actions omits it. Done means a returned service resource can invoke the custom action through public_send and exposes it in res.actions.
