Group.create does not create share_url about groupy HOT 8 CLOSED

from groupy.

I've posted my question about the problem.

from groupy.

I've still not heard anything regarding this issue. I've sent an email to their support team in the hopes that someone responds. As you say, I think I'm making the correct response, so it must be a server-side API issue, but regardless, I'm sorry you're having this issue. I'll keep you posted.

Are there any updates on this? I've noticed that if you enable the option for sharing in the groupme web client on groupme.com, I can then access the share_url from groupy, but as stated above, creating a group using groupy doesn't allow me to share. Using group.update(share=True) doesn't do anything either.

No unfortunately I'm afraid not. It's clearly a problem on their end but they don't seem eager to fix it. I've reached out to them via email and their support group but both attempts have largely been ignored. When they had a GroupMe group for API help their responsiveness was much better. I'd be happy to implement any necessary changes if anyone has success getting to the root of the issue.

Oh ok, that's unfortunate :-(

Ok, so I managed to get the update function working by changing the endpoints.Groups.update() function to this:

data = {}
if name:
    data['name'] = name
if description:
    data['description'] = description
if share is not None:
    data['share'] = share
if image_url:
    data['image_url'] = image_url
r = requests.post(
    cls.build_url('{}/update', group_id),
    data=json.dumps(data)
)
return cls.response(r)

Based on that, I think the problem is how the requests class was handling the params with a boolean. Not really sure if this helps, but since it feels really janky to me I'll probably just keep it in my local version and let you figure out what you want to do with it.

This is fixed and tested in the new v0.8.0 available on PyPI :)
