Still in progress.

@Vitalis95 if you update epicsadata, the issue you previously reported should be sorted. Thank you for finding and reporting that one!

We now have a new problem with exporting to the buckets. We need to authenticiate first. This is achieved using the following code:

epicsawrap::gcs_auth_file(" <file_authenticator_token.json> ")

where file_authenticator_token.json is the json file containing the token to authenticate the buckets.

@Vitalis95 @Patowhiz @ChrisMarsh82 I'm not sure the best way to go about this. Do we want to have the ability to authenticate on the main dialog, as a sub-dialog from the main dialog (where OK isn't enabled until it's filled and clicked), or as a separate dialog?

Let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

@Vitalis95 a screenshot of the current dialog design would be helpful in answering @lilyclements question.

@Patowhiz here is the dialog, the define button leads to sub-dialog.

This PR is linked to issue #8885

[Patowhiz]

@lilyclements considering the amount of details already on the dialog, I think a sub-dialog would be sensible. For Climsoft, we currently do authentication to the Climsoft database through a sub-dialog.

@lilyclements , there is this new error after updating epicsadata

[lilyclements]

@Vitalis95 thank you for finding this and being patient, once again! I've fixed the problem. Can you update your epicsawrap package to get the fix?

devtools::install_github("IDEMSInternational/epicsawrap")

@Vitalis95 we (including @jkmusyoka have the script from @lilyclements . It looks as though the dialog is almost ready. Is that true.

[lilyclements]

@rdstern quick update - @Vitalis95 and I have a meeting tomorrow (it is a public holiday today in Kenya). The only hold-back at the moment is with opening the browser from the dialog, I think. I hope this can be fixed by the iCallType, and then it is simply just fixes required on the TestOK and it's ready!

If it can't be fixed by the iCallType, or even if it is, we might want to have an option to connect to google buckets through the dialog - similar to how we do it on the "Import from Climsoft" dialog, but the user just has to put in the file containing their "key/token" to connect to the buckets.

@lilyclements , have a look at the progress so far
