How do you pass an array into Sinatra?

I have this in my rspec test

it 'that can be mass inserted' do
        score_count = Score.all.length
        post '/score', @mass_score_data
        Score.all.length.should eq score_count+2
end

where @mass_score_data is an array of hashes [{id: 5, something: 3}, {id: 4, something: 2}]. I'm assuming that I am getting this array from an app that connects to Sinatra.

rspec says

 Failure/Error: post '/score', @mass_score_data
 NoMethodError:
   undefined method `read' for #<Array:0x007fd7e507bd80>

Am I missing something here, or can we just not pass arrays into Sinatra? BTW I also tried arrays like [1, 2, 3, 4], it still is "undefined method 'read'"

Assuming your post body in the Score class looks like:

post '/add_scores' do
  scores = params[:scores]
  ....
end

Then you should be able to do:

post 'add_scores', {:scores => @mass_data}

Look at Testing in Sinatra for further reading.
