Delete included groups using rest api on gerrit 2.7

[Siddhartha Thotapalli]

According to gerrit 2.7 documentation, in rest-api section

Delete included groups:

POST /groups/{group-id}/groups.delete

Delete one or several included groups from a Gerrit internal group.

The groups to be deleted from the group must be provided in the request body as a GroupsInput entity.

Request

  POST /groups/MyProject-Committers/groups.delete HTTP/1.0
  Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8

  {
    "members": {
      "MyGroup",
      "MyOtherGroup"
    }
  }

Look at the json in the post data, keys in the hash without values? It gives an error saying invalid json type. I tried using array instead of hash, but still it is not working. Could some one please tell me how to do this. Thanks.

There were two mistakes in the documentation :(

Both of them are now fixed on stable-2.8 [1,2].

The correct JSON is

  {
    "groups": [
      "MyGroup",
      "MyOtherGroup"
    ]
  }

It is fixed in 2.8? Does that mean, I can not use it in 2.7? Is there no turn around to do this from a script in 2.7?

The error was in the documentation.

If you use the json format that Edwin showed in the previous mail, it should work on 2.7.
