Description

I try to create a user using PowerShell (Invoke-WebRequest command) calling the API :

$username="myuser"
$email="myuser@mydomain.com"
$full_name="My User"
$password="P@ssW0rd"

$hash = @{
     email = $($email);
     full_name = $($full_name);
     login_name = $($username);
     password = $($password);
     send_notify = "false";
     source_id = 0;
     username = $($username)
}

$JSON = $hash | convertto-json

$JSON

Invoke-WebRequest -uri "http://try.gitea.io/api/v1/admin/users?access_token=3bb81a498393f4af3d278164b5755fc23b74b785" -Method POST -ContentType 'application/json' -Body $JSON

Below what my $JSON looks like :

{
    "password":  "P@ssW0rd",
    "full_name":  "My User",
    "username":  "myuser",
    "email":  "myuser@mydomain.com",
    "source_id":  0,
    "login_name":  "myuser",
    "send_notify":  "false"
}

I am not 100% sure that's an issue (to me it looks like a Go error but I'm not a coder).
If I'm just mistaking the API call I'd be glad being explained how to get it to work, thank you 👍

The field send_notify needs to contain a Boolean, you are currently sending "false" which is a String. Gitea can not parse your request into its internal format (CreateUserOption) and responds with this error instead.

To fix it just send "send_notify": false (without quotes).
