Asana addProject trouble in node

Question

I'm trying to create a task and then set a project on the task using nodejs and the asana thin wrapper available from npm.

var asana = require('asana');
var newTask = { name: "Your Mission", notes: "Stuff" };
var project = [{ id:321, name: "Missions Impossible"}];

var client = asana.Client.basicAuth('APIKEY');

client.tasks.createInWorkspace(123, newTask).then(function(task) {

    client.tasks.addProject(task.id, project).then(function(o) {

        // Check for empty object returned (sign of success)

        if (Object.keys(o).length === 0)
            console.log('yay!');
        else
            console.log('booo');
}

The task is created, but I get an error in the addProject method - "Possibly unhandled error. Invalid Request". I've tried different variations on the project object, but I'm out of ideas.

Is the project wrongly formed? Something else?

You are right, your project is malformed. The data passed to the addProject method should be a dictionary with the member:

project: 321

or

project: { id: 321 }

See the documentation for the endpoint being called and the data that it gets passed.

Your answer is a bit unclear, as JavaScript has no 'dictionary' object, but setting my project = { project: 321 } worked. Setting the project = 321 does NOT work. The Asana documentation is nice, but it's rather ambiguous. Thanks for the answer, tho, finally working! – Jim N Dec 12 '14 at 16:14
