I'm trying to create a new label in my Gmail account using the Ruby Gmail API.
I have a working connection and can access my messages, list labels, etc.
However, when I try to use create_user_label I get the following error.
Google::Apis::ClientError: invalidArgument: Invalid request

My failing code in that stack trace is:
client = Google::Apis::GmailV1::GmailService.new
client.authorization = current_user.Token.fresh_token
user_id = 'me'
label = {
"label_list_visibility" => "labelShow",
"message_list_visibility" => "show",
"name" => "TestLabel"
}
client.create_user_label(user_id, label)
The API's code in create_user_label calls for a label_object which I thought I was creating.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
The inline docs say you need to use a object of type Google::Apis::GmailV1::Label as your label_object:
@param [Google::Apis::GmailV1::Label] label_object
See if changing your label variable from a hash to this works:
label = Google::Apis::GmailV1::Label.new({
name: 'TestLabel',
label_list_visibility: 'labelShow',
message_list_visibility: 'show',
})
