gcalcli add gives error... You must only specify a single calendar #482

Closed uxcn closed 2 months ago

uxcn commented 5 years ago

I've tried adding --default-calendar=Personal to .gcalclirc and specifying gcalcli --calendar=Personal add; neither fixes the error. I even tried gcalcli --noincluderc --default-calendar=Personal --calendar=Personal.

The same happens with quick

My .gcalclirc looks similar to this...

--default-calendar=Personal
--calendar=Personal#white
--calendar=Contacts\' birthdays and events#blue
--calendar=Holidays in United States#white

Here is my version information...

gcalcli v4.1.1 (Eric Davis, Brian Hartvigsen, Joshua Crowgey)

Can you try v4.2.0 (just released to pypi last week)? That release addressed some issues with how you specify a calendar. I'd like to find out how this affects your bug report.

With version 4.2.0, instead of the error I get a prompt to pick which calendar to add the event to, which works. Adding using quick still seems to give the same error though.

Is there any way to use --calendar or --default-calendar to choose the calendar to add the event to on the command line?

jcrowgey commented 5 years ago

When you use 4.2.0 and you see the prompt to pick a calendar when you use add, does the string "Personal" appear in your calendar prompt? Would you mind posting your terminal session (with any sensitive details redacted) so that I can see the interaction? I've tended to use email addresses as names for google calendars so I'm curious to see how the "Personal" tag you're using is set up. Maybe it's enough just to show us the output of gcalcli list and then add.

Yes.

same issue here

jcrowgey commented 5 years ago

Well, a least a prompt to pick is better than the crash. Still, as your report suggests, setting the default calendar ought to work. Thank you for the report.

Adding via quick still fails.

Alright, I've merged #702 to fix the quick command to prompt the same way.

Might consider defaulting these selections to the --default-calendar or some similar option in the future, but given that the help for --default-calendar says "to use if no --calendar options are given", IMO it's better to keep behavior more conservative and prompt when there are multiple calendars passed to add, even if one of them came from --default-calendar.
