Run task via API with enviroment variable get 500

[dmitrygribenchuk]

Hello. I try to run a task via API. Without an environment variable all work fine. And with a specified environment (found it in API docs). I created unbound environment in UI. I'm get a 500 error.

Endpoint: http://localhost:3000api/project/1/tasks

body:

{
"template_id": 2,
"status": "running",
"environment": "unbound"
}

In logs:
time="2022-10-06T09:30:25Z" level=error msg="invalid character 'u' looking for beginning of value" error="Cannot write new event to database"

Hi @dmitrygribenchuk ,

environment must be JSON, it is not name of existing environment.

I agree error message must be more informative.

Thanks for your answer, on a docs environment must be string
https://www.ansible-semaphore.com/api-docs/#/project/post_project__project_id__tasks

{
"template_id": 0,
"debug": true,
"dry_run": true,
"playbook": "string",
"environment": "string"
}

Yes, it should be stringified JSON.

"environment": "{\"prop\": \"value\"}"
