you didnt need httplib2 and oauth2client, because they are part of the google-api-client.
adding those could lead to incompatible versions.
and i am not sure that a path like that would work.
i always use full path.
the app is in apps so a partial path would be just / i guess.
Error log is empty. So i guess apps work ok ?

did you create custom_css in your appdaemon dir?
and a subdir html?
and then you need to set:
htmlfile: /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/appdaemon/custom_css/html/google-calendar-app/calendar.html # the file that you show in the dashboard
in the calendar.yaml
and you did
pip3 install google-api-python-client
in the same environment that you run appdaemon in?
and that gave no errors?
edit: and you can leave the test app when you place the 2 files in again.
I hadn’t done this, no, but I did just now, but it didn’t make any difference, still same error about formatyear

this really bugs me.
i can nowhere find any formatyear() in AD or in google client.
because i get no debug info at all i need to conclude that the error comes from the first part from the app somehow.
please delete these 2 files and edit test.py to
from __future__ import print_function
import httplib2
import os
from apiclient import discovery
from oauth2client import client
from oauth2client import tools
from oauth2client.file import Storage
import appdaemon.plugins.hass.hassapi as hass
import datetime
import time
class test(hass.Hass):
def initialize(self):
self.log("imports dont give the error")
runtime = datetime.datetime.now() + datetime.timedelta(seconds=5)
self.log("datetime does also not give an error")
and sorry that this is getting way more difficult and annoying then i expected it to be.
edit: please restart AD after that with clear logs.

I think they are going to be in different ones. I am running Hassbian install, and then did the appdaemon install as per the docs on the website using
sudo pip3 install --pre appdaemon
logged in as the pi user.
oke i looked at hasbian and it seems they use a venv.
and when you were logged on as pi i guess you didnt install it in the same venv.
the --pre was only needed because of the beta release. but you have the right AD now.
so its probably a problem with google client.
this error:

so i suggest you run that command (but use pip3 instead of pip.

Using relative path is ok inside AppDaemon (at least in Addon mode) since all log files appear with relative paths. And also I have other .py with relative paths that work fine
oauthclient should be a part from the package google-api-python-client
i only installed that one.
i hope that you are right about the relative paths. i have no way of testing that here.
but then istill have no clue why you get that other error, other then incompatible parts with google client.

But still the same error. I am guessing its something to do with the venv.
I have a synology nas that I have just installed docker on, but I know about as much as using that as using linux 
hmm, i hacked the connection to google over a year ago.
i had none of this and use it all the time
i had AD without a venv working
and recently i installed AD new into a venv.
i have python 3.6 but that shouldnt be different because i had it running in 3.4 also.
i am going to read on the google developers site what can be the issue.
Maybe your .json has another format and the new ones don’t work with that approach?
i just checked but it seems the same.
i am reading now, but its 3:00 here so i need to move it to tommorow 
I got past the credentials error by not using the path,ie just passing the json file that I have in the same folder :
store = Storage(self.args[“client_secret_file”])
but then I got

If your browser is on a different machine then exit and re-run this
application with the command-line parameter
–noauth_local_webserver
I open that in the browser authorize HA, but finally it returns to localhost:8080 that doesn’t exist.
Strange thing is that I had already authorized HA to view my calendar when I installed the calendar component directly in HA and that worked.
I am lost with this … see you tomorrow, good night!
thanks for this.
now i know again how i did it in the past.
its a problem with argparser.
the google client api uses that and appdaemon uses it also.
i got around that by adding the line that you also added, but it requires that you use a browser on the device.
and obviously that wont work.
so i need to find a way to startup the app seperatly, when AD is not running, so we can use the noauth_local_webserver option.
i got it working twice now with different files, but i got browser access.
so i will get there.
its not something easy.
i cant find out how to unauthorise my app, so i cant test it.
i found a way to add the noauth arg as a workaround in the hope that works.
in the yaml i added a new_auth argument, that when its set to True tries to get a new authorisation
but it throws an error because of double use from argparser. (that happens when you try to combine 2 programs from other people )
but when the authorisation is done and you set the new option to False the program wont try to authorise anymore and there is no error.
so to conclude:
load the new files from github (when AD isnt running)
edit the yaml to your need
start AD and keep your fingers crossed.
Still the same error I am afraid
