CLI: make it possible to start an activity with tags

[blipp]

I am trying to write a Bash/whatever script that adds an activity including tags using Hamster's command line interface. So far I didn't succeed, and looking at the code, I have the suspicion that it's not possible at the moment. What I would like to do is something like:

hamster start Foo@Bar #Tag1 #Tag2 09:35 09:36

The following shall be serve as starting point for someone working on this (might actually be me, also, if I take the time):

• This might be the line of code where the new activity is added: https://github.com/projecthamster/hamster/blob/master/src/hamster-cli#L197 This doesn't give tags to the constructor.
• but the constructor can handle tags https://github.com/projecthamster/hamster-lib/blob/develop/hamster_lib/objects.py#L345
• Maybe though it is this part in the dedicated hamster-cli repository that is used https://github.com/projecthamster/hamster-cli/blob/develop/hamster_cli/hamster_cli.py#L223 It doesn't handle tags, but calls a function from hamster-lib to parse the activity,
• the function Fact.create_from_raw_fact is defined here: https://github.com/projecthamster/hamster-lib/blob/bc34c822c239a6fa0cde3a4f90b0d00506fb5a4f/hamster_lib/objects.py#L375 But this function doesn't handle tags, neither.

The question for @elbenfreund might be: which of them is the right place to look at? Thanks for your work :) I am using Hamster since 2009, so yeah, I am quite happy with it already!

Thanks for the report and the pointers. The given links indicate that this issue is for the rewrite (hamster-cli) and should be moved to hamster-cli/issues.

For the current master of this legacy hamster repository, it is possible to start an activity with tags by enclosing the string in quotes:

src/hamster-cli start 'freeSoftware@diffusion #hamster'

(tested with the development version. For an installed version it would be hamster start ...)
