Mandrill - No message exists with id - ruby

Question

I'm having an issue using the mandrill API for ruby and i'm not sure if it's a lack of ruby/api understanding on my part of if there's an issue with the mandrill api.
I have this method which sends an email with mandrill, and then I make another api call using the id returned from mandrill.messages.send to make another call to mandrill to get the email header message-id so i can store that in a db table.
Why am I getting the error Mandrill::UnknownMessageError (No message exists with the id '64fba1cce24942dea1ada4f905fd7871'): when the id clearly exists as seen in the comments for the logging events?
# Sends an email to all users for the account_id on the issue
def send_email
require 'mandrill'
...
mandrill = Mandrill::API.new Mandrill::API_KEY
# Email contents
message = {
:subject => self.name,
:from_name => self.account.subdomain,
:text => self.description,
:to => [{
:email => user.email,
:name => user.name
}],
:text => self.description,
:from_email => "noreply#myapp.com",
:headers => {
'reply-to' => 'update#myapp.com'
}
}
results = mandrill.messages.send message # Send email through mandrill
# Loop through results of sent email
results.each do |result|
logger.debug "result id = #{result['_id']}" # LOGS result id = 64fba1cce24942dea1ada4f905fd7871
logger.debug "result = #{result}" # LOGS result = {"email"=>"tomcaflisch#gmail.com", "status"=>"sent", "_id"=>"64fba1cce24942dea1ada4f905fd7871", "reject_reason"=>nil}
id = result['_id'] # Mandrill's internal id from api call results that sent the email
# CAUSES Mandrill::UnknownMessageError (No message exists with the id '64fba1cce24942dea1ada4f905fd7871'):
info = mandrill.messages.content id # Get info for sent email with a specific mandrill id
end
end

I think you just have to give it a little bit of time.

Answer 2

I am facing the same error on messages.info(id).
However, search('*') is finding all messages sent but not providing correct status information.
I think the following snippet of gem code is getting 500 status (instead of 200) when messages.info(id) is called:
def call(url, params={})
params[:key] = #apikey
params = JSON.generate(params)
r = #session.post(:path => "#{#path}#{url}.json", :headers => {'Content-Type' => 'application/json'}, :body => params)
cast_error(r.body) if r.status != 200
return JSON.parse(r.body)
end
Also, gem code is hosted on bitbucket instead of more common github. Not sure how to raise an issue there for support.
Sorry can't be of much help but thought I should share my experience also to get more visibility for the problem.
