[Python] [Data-API] [Wavelet, Ops, WaveService] Participant Add doesn't work

[Branden Martin]

Hello everyone,

I want to first start out by saying I'm sorry if I am posting in the wrong group. 

For this script, my goal is to accomplish this, any wave that I am on (account 1), will add participant (account 2). 

As I am still really new to the Wave API and to Python, I decided to use some of the examples source codes to accomplish this (and to get the hang of how it all works so I can develop future things.)

I am currently using this: http://wave-samples-gallery.appspot.com/about_app?app_id=266001 (Inbox Checker)

I chose to use this because it already had a way to do "for each wave I'm on..."

My problem is this, no matter how I try to implement the functions to add participants, it just doesn't work, I don't seem to see any errors, but it just doesn't work (sorry if I'm not being as specific as I should be).

My first attempt was to use wavelet.Participant.add, which requires doing wavelet.Participant(), which requires "roles" and I could not find out how to get this.

So, I decided to use ops.wavelet_add_participant, which requires ops.OperationQueue(). 

I'm not recieveing any errors at all, but nothing is working.

The code I implemented:

    search_results = self._service.search(query=query, num_results=num_results)

    for digest in search_results.digests:

the_wavelet = self._service.fetch_wavelet(digest.wave_id)

wave_id = the_wavelet.wave_id

wavelet_id = the_wavelet.wavelet_id

participant_id = 'x...@xx.xx'

the_wave_oq = ops.OperationQueue()

the_wave_oq.wavelet_add_participant(wave_id, wavelet_id, participant_id)

self._service.submit(the_wavelet)

I also noticed that the_wavelet which gets info from _service.fetch_wave doesn't contain anything... However: the_wavelet.wave_id and  the_wavelet.wavelet_id contain correct values.

Am I missing anything or doing anything wrong?

Thank you very much everyone!
