First setup: KeyError: 'uda.swimlane.values'

I ran into #1 as well, but after putting in my username to get passed that, I also ran into this error:

Thanks for reporting. It seems quite a logical error when first setting up a mapping. I didn't run yet in this error, because my setup has grown 'organically' and the swimlanes uda was apparently already present in my taskwarrior setup when I added this code.

I've made a quick fix (hopefully) in this branch. Hopefully it solves your problem.

Just for context: although I use kanboard_taskwarrior on a daily basis, it still has some quirks. I didn't robustly tested it on pristine setups, and I can also imagine some project setups may cause unexpected mapping problems.

Hey, thanks for the quick fix! I can confirm that branch fixes the KeyError I ran into.

Are there any other initial setup steps that might be missing from the docs? I got a new error about the board not existing. I'll probably try to look through the code this weekend to see if I'm missing something obvious

No worries! I'm not planning on using it for anything critical, just some personal and homelab stuff. Sometimes I like having a kanban view, but I also like taskwarrior.

@strawpants an update

I got this error when trying to add a new connection:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    main(sys.argv)

sqlite3.OperationalError: table kbserver has no column named runtaskdsync

For some reason, the runtaskdsync column didn't exist yet. I saw there is a migration for it in db.py, but I guess it didn't run? I ended up just manually adding the column and it was fine after that.

Once I got the connection added, I ran into this error:

            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
TypeError: int() argument must be a string, a bytes-like object or a real number, not 'NoneType'

I changed taskmap.py line 36 to be datedue=int(kbtask['date_due'] or 0). kbtask['date_due'] was None for me, probably because I don't really use due dates in kanboard very often.

And I'm happy to say syncing both ways seems to be working correctly now :)
