Need help setting up Google Calendar

[ngocphamm]

I think I've tried what I could... Please help

My config.yml. Yes, only with gcal module. That's all I need for now.

wtf:
  colors:
    border:
      Focusable: "darkslateblue"
      focused: "orange"
      normal: "gray"
  mods:
    gcal:
      colors:
          title: "red"
          description: "lightblue"
          past: "gray"
      conflictIcon: "🚨"
      currentIcon: "💥"
      withLocation: false
      displayResponseStatus: true
      email: "<myemail>"
      enabled: true
      eventCount: 5
      position:
        top: 0
        left: 0
        height: 1
        width: 1
      refreshInterval: 300
      secretFile: "~/.wtf/gcal/client_secret.json"

I have that client_secret.json by following this, and I confirm the credentials work fine with a REST Client (Paw).

However when I run wtf in my command line, I see a blank screen. Ctrl + C twice to get out of the program and I see something like this on the screen.

Go to the following link in your browser then type the authorization code:

https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?access_type=offline&client_id=<my-client-id>&redirect_uri=urn%3Aietf%3Awg%3Aoauth%3A2.0%3Aoob&response_type=code&scope=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.googleapis.com%2Fauth%2Fcalendar.readonly&state=state-token

I could follow the link and generate the authentication token, but I have no way to "paste" it back to wtf.

Also, aren't the ENV variables NOT required anymore if there's the client_secret.json? They are basically the same stuff. https://wtfutil.com/posts/modules/gcal/

Thank you!

I am having the same problem. I was able to get the oauth url while wtf was running by redirected the output (./wtf > out.txt) but when i sign in and copy/paste the code, wtf exits and says:

2018/05/31 10:36:57 Unable to retrieve token from web oauth2: cannot fetch token: 400 Bad Request
                                                                                                 Response: {
                                                                                                              "error" : "invalid_grant",
                                                                                                                                          "error_description" : "Malformed auth code."
                                        }

Same here. From the code, it appears that it wants to store the cached token in ~/.credentials somewhere, but I don't know the format of the file.

[ngocphamm]

@cleverdevil more like it's going to save to ~/.credentials/calendar-go-quickstart.json once it get the auth token, but it seems to be failing at the step to fetch the token according to @d3sandoval.

I was able to mix a bunch of instructions and code reading and got it to work.

Here's what I've done:

1. cd ~/.wtf
2. Followed all steps from "Step 1: Turn on the Google Calendar API"
3. Moved the downloaded client_secret.json to ~/.wtf
4. Created a file quickstart.go and paste the contents of the file from "Step 3: Set up the sample" there
5. Ran go run quickstart.go
6. mkdir -p ~/.credentials && mv ~/.wtf/token.json ~/.credentials/calendar-go-quickstart.json

This should get it to work.

I guess besides having these instructions somewhere, we need to update the gcal module to also read the token.json file from config.yml, it will make much more sense.

[DreaminDani]

@wesleydesouza that worked! Very nice! To integrate the token handoff into the UX, we could use text input similar to the TODO module: https://github.com/senorprogrammer/wtf/blob/master/todo/widget.go#L195

[cleverdevil]

Yup, worked for me too :)

[ngocphamm]

Thanks @wesleydesouza! It's working now, except that for some reason the dates of the events are not right for me. They are all Mon, Jan 1, 00:00. Anyone having the same issue?

[viluon]

@ngocphamm Not all, but some of them are broken. Also, I don't see events imported from other calendars.

[senorprogrammer]

Closing this issue. This PR adds a link into the GCal module documentation for the official Google documentation, and a link to @wesleydesouza's comment above.

Step #2 of @wesleydesouza's comment lead to a 404 ..

I believe this is the good link:

https://developers.google.com/calendar/quickstart/go#step_1_turn_on_the_api_name

[senorprogrammer]

Thanks. I've edited the comment to point to that link now.
