Hi,

There is another thread about exactly the same thing, you should be able to find it using the search.

Thanks
i think i found your post about it where you’ve posted might be node js code?? but as a beginner python user i still can not find the solution of this. I am googling and trying diferent ways but im still failed to solve this.

Yes I posted my code in node, I can’t really help in Python…

Hoping you found the answer by now.

For anyone else running into this problem, attach a file extension to the filename and set the correct content type.

example from the original post:
client.attachments.create_attachment_for_task(task_gid, file_content=data, file_name=“test.jpg”, file_content_type=“image/jpeg”)

client = asana.Client.basic_auth(‘…’)
workspaceID = ‘…’
teamID = “…”
project_gid = “…”

taskList = client.tasks.get_tasks_for_project(project_gid,opt_pretty=True)
taskList = list(taskList)

thumbnailPath = r"thumnail path"
#thumbnailPath where thumnail jpg files exist and filename taken from task name with image file extension

for task in taskList:
infoList =list(task.values())
task_gid=infoList[0]
task_name=infoList[1]
for file in os.listdir(thumbnailPath):
fileName = file.split(“.jpg”)[0]
if task_name == fileName:
imageData = os.path.join(thumbnailPath,file)
with open(imageData,“rb”) as f:
data = f.read()
client.attachments.create_attachment_for_task(task_gid, file_content=data, file_name=“%s.jpg”%fileName,file_content_type=“image/jpeg”)
