Setup seems not to work

[b-kaiser]

Hi!

This seems like a really cool project, and I was trying to get it running. Unfortunately, I failed. I used python3.10 and the latest kanboard release. On the webserver I use PHP 8.1. I did not really set up a database, but the web provider seems to have set it up already and kanboard worked out of te box. Maybe the issues are related to the last fact, and in this case, I am sorry for bothering you.

Leaving assigne whose tasks need to be synced empty raises an invalid input error

I tried the following with both, an admin account and not an admin account, resulting in the same error message:

$ tasksync.py -c test
Project mapping test does not exist yet, create a new mapping (y/n)? [y]: y
Enter Kanboard serveraddress: mypersonalkanboardinstance.de

    raise ValueError("Invalid input")
ValueError: Invalid input

jsonrpc.php is not reachable

This one might be related to me not setting up the database correctly. However, as mentioned kanboard seems to work properly. I get the followin error message:

$ tasksync.py -c test

If I type in mypersonalkanboardinstance.de/jsonrpc.php in a webbrowser (firefox) I get the following:

thanks I'll look into it. I suspect the parse error on jsonrpc.php is just an indication that no arguments were supplied though, and is therefore not the problem. I get the same from my instance, and it's seems to work here.

What kanboard versions are you using? (both server and local python module?)

[strawpants]

Maybe I misunderstood. Does the Kanboard project 'test' already exists on your server? It needs to be defined there because it uses the existing columns and swimlanes etc from kanboard to determine the mapping to taskwarrior. I may have to add a less cryptic error message to make this clear obviously.

So can you try to create a simple project on your kanboard server and then try to configure a mapping?
