Create a new Course with Google Apps Script - ClassRoom API

Question

There is an error on line 11 stating:

Requested entity was not found. (line 11, file "Code")

line 11

createdCourse = Classroom.Courses.get('Bio10');

The function:

function createA_NewCourse() {
  var courseNew,createdCourse;

  courseNew = Classroom.newCourse();

  courseNew.name = "10th Grade Biology";
  courseNew.id = "Bio10";

  Logger.log("course.name " + courseNew.name);//Verify that name was set

  createdCourse = Classroom.Courses.get('Bio10');//Try to get course by ID

  Logger.log(createdCourse)
}

How is a new course created in Apps Script?

Answer 1

As stated by @Dean Ransevycz, there should be a create() method.

Here's a sample code:

function createCourses() {

  var course;
  course = Classroom.newCourse();       

  course.name = "10th Grade Biology";
  course.ownerId = "me";
  //course.id = "Bio10";

  course = Classroom.Courses.create(course);
  Logger.log('%s (%s)', course.name, course.id);

  var list = Classroom.Courses.list();
  Logger.log(list);

}

You're getting an Requested entity was not found. error since you might be using the wrong course id. And I guess you can't set an ID when creating a course. (Source.)
