POST api user to board

Wekan / General · January 13, 2020 at 8:41pm

If, through the api, I the create boards with lists and cards, in order for users to see those boards, I need to post the users to a board. I seem to have the syntax correct but am not getting a payload back from node.js . I get no error in the api and the boards, lists and cards get created but only the admin user whose token I am using can see them, just an empty data return (specifically a single empty object (is that the correct response)? When I look up the user I am trying to add to the board, I do not see the board I was trying to add them to. Is there an endpoint that shows either all the users for a board or all the boards for a user?

Is there any way to determine what its doing if I am not getting an error back? If I post the boards with lists and cards the lead admin can see it. If they invite an existing user (in the GUI) (the other user (the only other user in the system) is chosable, then that user indicates they failed to get an e-mail but it says they joined and when you switch logins and login in as the other user you see the board with an accept deny prompt super imposed. But when you look up that user you do not see board accepted.

How do I get error messages? How do I see board a user has accepted? What else can I do to troubleshoot this. the body I am user is isadmin false, commentsonly false, no comments false. url is api/boards/h3F93g2YviwC3J7KJ/members/SXLP3KJme9d4uCo5q/add

What else can I do to troubleshoot this? where is the log file that show the error? Thanks again

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

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

                                      you have to have the "add" one the query line but more importantly you also have to have "action" : "add" in the body.

                                        in either case it return an object that is empty {}

                                          but if you add in the action parameter in the body it does assign that user as a member on that board
