Module Did Not Create Notes File in Google Docs

[raspberrypi9]

Hi, thank you for the great docs. I followed all the steps and the module said that authorization was successful, but a new docs did not appear in my Google Docs. Thank you for your help.

Hi, the document is created at the first start, or when it is searched for in Google Drive but it is missing.

Do you see either [MMM-GoogleDocs-Notes] Found 1 documents in drive matching the search or [MMM-GoogleDocs-Notes] Did not find your note in drive. in the logs? Please share the logs.

I reauthorized and got this:

So the authorization did not work and therefore the module cannot access your Google Drive / Docs at all to create the document. In you user directory is a .credentials directory with a MMM-GoogleDocs-Notes.json file in it. Please delete this file and try to authorize again.

I reauthorized and got this:

[2024-11-20 13:01:36.899] [LOG] [MMM-GoogleDocs-Notes] authorizing...

That's far better. The document should be created now. Make sure to look at the same google account as you used for the authorization step before.

To confirm please restart the Magic Mirror application again and it should log [MMM-GoogleDocs-Notes] Found 1 documents in drive matching the search now.

I deleted the Magic Mirror Google Docs Notes json file in the .credentials directory and reran the authorization and it works! Question: The only way it looks like I can get new notes to show up on the Magic Mirror is to kill the magic mirror and restart it. Does it have an automated sync feature where it will update from the google docs and display new notes that I add without restarting the mirror?

Thanks

The module will create a new Google Doc if not present (by using notesPrefix). This implies there is support for only one note at a time currently.

When you edit the document the changes will be shown within the configurable pollFrequency time

default pollFrequency: 5 * 60 * 1000, //5 minutes

I just noticed that the setting maxNotes is outdated by the way.
