docs edit --format "txt" creates PDF file #201

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. google docs edit --folder "scratch" --format "txt" --editor "notepad" 
--title "test" (where folder "scratch" exists but doc "test" does not)
2. Notepad opens to show the innards of a PDF file

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect a blank plain-text document. I see a plain-text representation of a 
PDF file.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? What
version of gdata-python-client (aka python-gdata)?

GoogleCL v0.9.8
gdata-2.0.10
Windows XP Professional SP3

Please provide any additional information below.

Apparently there is a problem with the GData API regarding the HTTP parameter 
name for the exportFormat:
http://code.google.com/p/gdata-issues/issues/detail?id=2157

A half-workaround is to edit the gdata/docs/service.py and replace line 330 
with this:

      url += '&exportFormat=%s&format=%s' % (export_format, export_format)

However, there is a second problem that arises which is that the GData API 
reports an error when trying to convert the plain text file:

Thanks for finding that issue, samxnguyen! I think this is at the root of a 
couple of googlecl issues, I'll hopefully have a patch soon.

OK, that took longer than I expected.

Try running the version in the repository, which fixes the issue as best as 
possible. It's still impossible to update new-version documents due to a bug in 
gdata itself.

Thanks Tom, once I turn off new versions, it does everything I need.
