Custom component : Google Tasks (abandoned)

Update !

Now it survives to reboot :slight_smile:

Update :
A custom card for Lovelace :slight_smile:

@BlueBlueBlob I’m having the same issue.

Ok I can reproduce error :
Before adding to config flow, you need to add gtasks configuration in configuration.yaml like

gtasks : 
  credentials_location: '/config/credentials.json'
  default_list: 'Corvées'
  token_location: '/config/token.pickle'

Restart and then add Gtasks by Integration

My bad readme file is not correct

What do you with before adding to config flow?

Integration menu

What is this token?

It’s the oauth2 token. It will be generated on your first authentication.
The variable is the path where this file can writable and stored.

Followed all the instructions but adding via Integration never works. I’m getting this in the logs:
Any help much appreciated

And this is my config

gtasks:
credentials_location: /config/credentials.json
default_list: “Sorrento”
token_location: /config/token.pickle

Hi,
Thanks for reporting :+1:
Is /config in your whitelist ? Like this :

whitelist_external_dirs:
  - /config

Regards
Edit : I certainly need to update install steps

Tried that, made no difference. Have tried all different paths and through trial and error I think it’s picking up on the credentials and token but on clicking add GTasks via Integration, this is the error I get in it’s entirety.

I’m trying to reproduce it.
Keep in touch

I don’t know.
Are you running hassio ?

After some search, seems to be an access file issue or a python version issue.
If you are running in hassio, try to change path to /share

Ok found this : https://github.com/googleapis/google-api-python-client/issues/776

Can you try to delete the token pickle file please and retry.

And this if you are not running hassos : https://github.com/googleapis/google-api-python-client/issues/774#issuecomment-548859939

Yes that could be the problem. I’m running in docker on a VM which is headless so I had to create the token on my mac and copy over. I’m guessing that hasn’t worked. How can I create a token from the command line without a browser?

Ok, thx for informations.
You need only 1 file : credentials.json. (in /config from homeassisant)
Once your configuration.yaml is set up. Restart.
Go to integration, look for gtasks and add.

Now : the link you see, you can copy paste in the browser you want, like on your Mac. The result should be a code. Copy paste this code in the same box as the link in HA and submit.
Check your /config and now you should see the token.pickle

You need a browser but not in HA. I do authentication on my smartphone. You just need the return code.

Keep in touch

Deleted credentials & token. Re-created on mac. Now getting the following error:

As you see, it’s just a warning. I have the same.
Did you receive a notification/mail on your Google account saying you are connected ?
Are sensors appear ?

Boom! Got my default list :smile: Thank you!!
Is it possible to get my other lists too?

Great ! I will update documentation regarding your case. Thanks.

For now it’s only 1 couple sensors (sensor and binary sensor) for 1 list.

It’s on my to-do list to have more than 1 list.

I thank you to take time because I thought it’s working only for me :joy_cat:
