trieloff opened a new issue #168: Annotations for sequences require unwieldy workarounds
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk-client-js/issues/168
 
 
   The intuitive way of adding annotation to a sequence is this:
   
   ```javascript
   openwhisk.actions.update({
     annotations: { "web-export": true, "raw-http": false },
     name: "mysequence",
     action: { exec: { kind: "sequence", components: ["/myuser/someaction"] } }
   });
   ```
   
   but the implementation of the client currently assumes that passing an `options.action` object means that the developer intends to build the whole request body themselves, which means the required call would be:
   
   ```javascript
   openwhisk.actions.update({
     name: "mysequence",
     action: {
       namespace: "myuser",
       name: "mysequence",
       exec: {
         kind: "sequence",
         components: ["/myuser/someaction"]
       },
       annotations: [
         {
           key: "exec",
           value: "sequence"
         },
         {
           key: "web-export",
           value: true
         },
         {
           key: "raw-http",
           value: false
         },
         {
           key: "final",
           value: true
         }
       ]
     }
   });
   ```
   
   While this might not be strictly a bug, it is clearly inconvenient and hard to get right without some assistance from @jthomas.
