No analytics?

[austinmbrown]

It looks like the analytics section of the API (https://canvas.instructure.com/doc/api/analytics.html) isn't built into the gem - am I missing something? I'm using 0.6.6, so I'm pretty sure I'm up to date.

[eriko]

That does seem correct. I wonder if there is something odd about that part the prevents swagger from processing it?

[eriko]

It does show up in the live api which is I think based on the same code generation back end. https://YOUR.CANVAS.DOMAIN/doc/api/live#!/analytics.json

I cloned the gem and tried to build it locally just to see what's up, but I don't know what any of these errors are about. Do I need to build the gem inside a canvas installation or something?

Here's what I got:

If I remember correctly from when I got it to build (I normally just use the gem) you need companion canvas-lms checkout next to it. That said in looking at the code there should be models for analytics here https://github.com/instructure/pandarus/tree/master/clients/ruby/lib/pandarus/models but there are not which makes me think that @canadaduane has not finished that part yet.

[austinmbrown]

That makes sense. Thanks!

@canadaduane - any insights about getting analytics into this gem you can provide would be appreciated :)
