The record event name cannot be empty error

[KirstieJane]

Here's the code I wrote (after setting up my data_dir, api_url and api_url variables)

os.environ['SUBJECTS_DIR'] = data_dir

from recon_stats import Subject
s = Subject('22186') # where SUBJECTID is in your SUBJECTS_DIR

# load measures
s.get_measures()

# produce a dictionary
data = s.upload_dict()

# Then using pycap, upload the data quickly
from redcap import Project
p = Project(api_url, api_key)
data[p.def_field] = '22186' # or however this subject is indexed in your REDCap

response = p.import_records([data])

Everything runs until the last step, and then I see the following error messages:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
RequestException                          Traceback (most recent call last)

    421         if 'error' in response:

    423         return response
    424 

RequestException: {u'error': u'The record event name cannot be empty'}

I'm sure it means that the record event name cannot be empty but I'm not quite sure where to look to input that info. If I open Redcap I can see the Freesurfer Reconstruction Stats instrument and that the event name is "Baseline Assessment Day (Arm 1: Prototype 20121019)" but I'm not sure where to fit that into the code above.

After a wonderfully timed tweet from @sburns I added in a redcap_event_name to the upload data dictionary:

data['redcap_event_name'] = p.events[2]['unique_event_name']

before running

response = p.import_records([data])

which fixed the RequestException.
