Error 400 "Selected dimensions and metrics cannot be queried together."

I tried to get the following query results but got error 400 "Selected dimensions and metrics cannot be queried together." I checked the dimensions and metrics reference guide but cannot find any clue. Please advise.

metrics: ga:hits
dimensions: ga:dateHour,ga:minute,ga:eventAction,ga:sourceMedium,ga:eventCategory,ga:previousPagePath,ga:pagePath
filters: ga:eventCategory=~^test

As answered here, if you go to Google Analytics Dimensions & Metrics Explorer, you can select the checkbox next to metrics and dimensions. The page will gray out those other metrics or dimensions which are incompatible with your selection(s).

Google Analytics has different scopes for dimensions and metrics: Hits and Sessions.

When calling hits (or 'hit-level metrics'), you must call dimensions only within that scope.

Here is a great post by Avinash Kaushik that explains this well: http://www.kaushik.net/avinash/hits-sessions-metrics-dimensions-web-analytics/.
