Problem with adding a person to the existing workspace

[gvelimir]

I've been trying to integrate Structurizr into a Python script, but it seems it has some problems I could not figure out so far.

I created a dummy empty workspace on Structurizr and when trying to connect and add elements, it fails on adding a person.

Line that fails:

user = model.add_person("User", "A user of my software system.")

Error stack:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/snap/pycharm-community/252/plugins/python-ce/helpers/pydev/pydevd.py", line 1483, in _exec
    pydev_imports.execfile(file, globals, locals)  # execute the script

Hi there,

I am sorry that the documentation is sorely lacking. In this case, the method add_person is defined as:

def add_person(self, person=None, **kwargs)

so you either need to provide a Person instance or use keyword arguments only. Try

user = model.add_person(name="User", description="A user of my software system.")

You may find it very helpful to browse the examples, such as the financial risk system.
