Getting TypeError when trying to Webhook.find()

Just updated to latest everything: py3.5 ShopifyAPI (2.1.5) pyactiveresource (2.1.2)

And the following code:

    if not shopify.Webhook.find(topic='orders/paid'):

Raise the following exception:

  File ".../venv/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pyactiveresource/activeresource.py", line 720, in _prefix_parameters
    for match in template.pattern.finditer(path):
TypeError: cannot use a string pattern on a bytes-like object

Some basic print debug shows the value of path at that point is b’'.

If I modify the offending code to use path.encode('utf-8') it succeeds, but fails later at:

  File ".../venv/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pyactiveresource/activeresource.py", line 737, in _prefix
    path = re.sub('/$', '', cls.prefix_source)
  File ".../venv/lib/python3.5/re.py", line 182, in sub
    return _compile(pattern, flags).sub(repl, string, count)
TypeError: cannot use a string pattern on a bytes-like object

So either this is byte/string failure in pyactiveresource, or ShopifyAPI isn’t setting values on its Webhook resource that the other lib needs.

I had this issue when I did not activate the session prior to making the .find() call

shopify.ShopifyResource.activate_session(session)

I’m not able to replicate this in Python 2.7.9 or 3.5.1. As suggested by the other commenter, make sure your session is initialized first.

If anyone is able to replicate this, please feel free to re-open it.
