POST successful when function not called interactively, fails silently when it is?

[Tim Visher]

Hi all,

I'm trying to add [the ability to create stories][] to the [pivotal-tracker
project][].

I've got everything just about working except for one strange problem.

When I call the function from elisp, it behaves exactly as expected (other
than occasionally failing to retrieve the page prior to returning the
buffer to me, but that's a topic for another post). The message "Story
added!" is printed and Pivotal reflects it.

When I call it interactively, however, the same message prints but the
story is not, indeed, added to Pivotal.

I verified that the arguments are the same between calls but `setq`ing a
monitor after the args are set and comparing them between runs and the
arguments are indeed exactly the same.

What could be happening here?

Sorted this out. The problem was that the argument was a string when
calling it interactively and a number when not. One of those 'solution
staring me right in the face' moments. :)
