error on generateUrl about gcal-cli HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi!

You can not pass directly the credentials path as argument, you need to pass a config file that contains your desired path for the credentials.

In your case it would be something like this (explained here ):

Create /somepath/config.json with this content:

{
  "CRED_PATH": "/Users/ts/client_secret.json"
}

Then execute the command:
$ gcal -C /somepath/config.json generateUrl

from gcal-cli.

thanks. Tested as you suggest but still not working and error message is not really self explaining ;-)

(ts)-(jobs:0)-(~/gcal)
(! 631)-> gcal -C /Users/ts/gcal/config.json generateUrl
[ERROR] Cannot match against 'undefined' or 'null'.

(ts)-(jobs:0)-(~/gcal)
(! 632)-> ls
client_secret.json config.json

(ts)-(jobs:0)-(~/gcal)
(! 633)-> cat config.json
{
"CRED_PATH": "/Users/ts/gcal/client_secret.json"
}

from gcal-cli.

If you include the option --debug at the end we can get the error stack.

How is the format of your client_secret.json file? It expects something in this format:

{
  "installed": {
    "client_id": "foo",
    "client_secret": "bar",
    "redirect_uris": [
      "urn:baz",
      "http://localhost"
    ]
  }
}

from gcal-cli.

here is my content (download right away from Google "download json" option). secret parts have been replaced by ...
{
"web:{"client_id":"....apps.googleusercontent.com","project_id":"...","auth_uri":"https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth","token_uri":"https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token","auth_provider_x509_cert_url":"https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs","client_secret":"..."}
}

from gcal-cli.

I see, when you create your client ID you must choose Other in Application type, not Web.

I'll fix the README specifying it!
