BigQuery Asynchronus Query Job garbles the Query String - google-bigquery

Question

i'm using the Ruby Google API Client to call BigQuery. The Query works just fine if I call it synchronously via bq.jobs.query.
Here's the job: job_sQUillv1JOSPg7XdJa7k8JTexPc
Here's the actual query:
select uid,group_concat(event) as path from
(select uid, event,t from
(select properties.distinct_id as uid, event , properties.time as t, t1.ev as ev, t1.time as originalTime from
[ziptrips.ziptrips_events ]
join
( select properties.distinct_id as user, properties.time as time, event as ev from
[ziptrips.ziptrips_events ] where properties.time > 1385856000 and properties.time < 1388534399 and event = 'Home Page Loaded'
group by user,time,ev) as t1
on t1.user = properties.distinct_id
where properties.time < t1.time)
group by uid,event ,t
order by t desc)
group by uid
However when I do the same call asynchronously via bq.jobs.insert, the query string gets garbled (It has a whole bunch of \n and \u003e etc). And the job fails.
select uid,group_concat(event) as path from\n (select uid, event,t from \n (select properties.distinct_id as uid, event , properties.time as t, t1.ev as ev, t1.time as originalTime from \n [ziptrips.ziptrips_events ] \n join \n ( select properties.distinct_id as user, properties.time as time, event as ev from \n [ziptrips.ziptrips_events ] where properties.time \u003e 1385856000 and properties.time \u003c 1388534399 and event = 'Home Page Loaded' \n group by user,time,ev) as t1 \n on t1.user = properties.distinct_id \n where properties.time \u003c t1.time) \n group by uid,event ,t \n order by t desc) \n group by uid
Here's the code:
client,bq = initialize()
config = {
'query' => {
'query' => query
}
}
result = client.execute(:api_method => bq.jobs.insert,
:parameters => {'projectId' => 'onefold-1'},
:body_object => {
"configuration" => config,
"kid" => "bigquery#queryRequest",
"query" => query,
"maxResults" => 1000,
"defaultDataset" => {
"datasetId" => "#{dataset_id}",
"projectId" => 'onefold-1'
},
"timeoMs" => 3000,
"dryRun" => false,
"preserveNulls" => false,
"useQueryCache" => true,
"miCompletionRatio" => 1.0
}
)
I believe it has something to do with encoding etc. Can't put my finger on whether and where to specify the encoding. Appreciate any pointers or suggestions.
Thanks,

Answer 1

I found out that this was a non-issue. There was a different error happening at the same time and I linked that error to this.
It works!
