Classroom: Can't change ownerId using courses().patch

See original GitHub issue

Environment details

OS type and version: Windows 10
Python version: 3.8.2
pip version: 20.1
google-api-python-client version: 1.8.2

Steps to reproduce

Trying to update ownerId of a Classroom results in error 400: Request contains an invalid argument
Using the web api from https://developers.google.com/classroom/reference/rest/v1/courses/patch works just fine
New owner is already a teacher in the course I’m trying to update

Code example


id = 89400224434
email = 'email@email.com'
body = {
    'ownerId': email
}
classroom.courses().patch(id=id, body=body, updateMask='ownerId').execute()

Yes. When I try to use the tool directly from the API page it works. (https://developers.google.com/classroom/reference/rest/v1/courses/patch). I believe it has something to do with the Python Client not recognizing “ownerId” as a valid updateMask and/or a valid field in the body of the request of courses.patch()
