POST api user to board

AFAIK when adding user to board with API, user does not need to accept joining board, it's already accepted with API call.

You can check exact behaviour of REST API at code wekan/models/* and if there is something missing, please send pull request

when I use the api of the lead admin yes it does work but it does indeed require that the user getting the invitation has to accept the invitation to see the boards invited too. That part is clear.

What I do not understand is the nature of the api call returning an empty object. I do not see a 400 or 500. just an object with nothing inside. What does that mean?

Where in the ubuntu snap 10 hierarchy do I find the log files I need to see that tells e why the api requestion is not being accepted?

You can change that REST API code to return correct result, by providing pull request. I don't even know how many different Wekan contributors have participated to creating current API. Someone added some per-user non-admin API. Improvements welcome.

sudo snap set wekan debug='true' && sudo snap logs wekan.wekan

Thank you again, sir. I appreciate the info. Rather than me asking another question, is there any chance a map exists on where to find stuff in a ubuntu snap distribution of wekan ;) I turned on the logs now I start searching for the logs. I look under /var and the /snap links and then under common, the number folder and current ..... :) With regard to my issue is I have not been able to get the api to add any user to any board. Board creation, lists, cards No problem. Each return info on what was created (as you need the ids return to manipulate things further.) With user to a board I get back an empty object and I do not turn on in any way the new user to the new board.The root admin sees the board but not the one I am api creating/adding to the board. When I add that user in the GUI is does as I described it supers an accept or deny over the new board, so I know you can attach a user to a board GUI wise, but so far not through the api. Not getting an error or anything, its just returning an empty object. That is where the logging question came from, so I can see what its doing when I get that empty object back. Thanks again for you advice and info.

You need to add some member to board with some role https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/REST-API-Role

doing that. That is what is returning an empty object and not adding anything that works to the board for a new user. Seriously. Where are those logs? :) :) :)

I would presume you did login as admin to Wekan API to get bearer token, and then used that bearer token at that role API call https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/REST-API#example-call---as-form-data

yes I have and it creates boards and lists and cards fine. But I just noticed two things 1) that I am not including an action parameter in the body (just on the command on the query parameters 2) I only saw three parameters I listed (admin, comments only, no comments), I see a worker in this description. Does either change anything? Not to be a pest but where do I look to get logs? I have spend alot of time searching for them. Where are the logs? Pretty sure that 10 minutes with logs will remove most of the fog about why this is happening. Maybe not, thanks again for your help :)

To get logs, you should build Wekan from source

and run with meteor command

Snap has logging disabled mostly, because Snap generates a lot of logs and fills disk space

Wekan logs are at bash console or browser/inspect/console

ok no logs with snap. Got it thanks

ok found it

you have to include "add" on commandline (query parameter

AND

you have to define action in body as "add"

then it works

thanks again

:)

and BTW
