Problem with german Umlauts when running as cron-job about garmin-connect-export HOT 8 CLOSED

does it work outside of cron? run from cmdline to check ...
if that works grep your LANG env variable and use that in the cronjob... you'll need unicode (UTF-8)
setting LANG inside the cronscript should work eg. something like: export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
cron does not import your "usual" environment, but you know that ;)

Yeah i know that and it was the first thing i tried.
-> second line of the script: export LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 ...
And the really frustrating thing is that it is indeed working from commandline.
I am absolutely out of ideas. Any others hints?

Thanks for this great script.

Perhaps try my fork of it:
https://github.com/ebrensi/garmin-connect-export.git

Mine is both Python 2 and 3 ready and it uses unicode string literals, so it might fix your problem.
I submitted a pull request for it. check it out:

Thanks for your answer.
Tried your fork and it gives a lot of debugging-infos.
Unfortunately it shows the same error:

ok try it now. https://github.com/ebrensi/garmin-connect-export.git
I tested it out in Python 2 and 3 with all file output types (tcx, gpx, "original"), with a Garmin connect activity with some European characters in the description.

Hi Efrem,

the error is gone an the script is now downloading 👍
But now there is an other issue.
The script outputs "INFO:Warning: Output directory already exists. Will skip already-downloaded files and append to the CSV file." which is absolutely true.
The Problem is, that the existing files are NOT skipped.
I can absolutely live with that, but i think ist was not intended to work this way 😉

Thanks and Regards,
Jörg

Jörg, gcexport.py skips files correctly now. Note that if you have the -c tag set (i.e.gcexport -c 2 ...), the files that are skipped count towards the total number of files to be retrieved, so if set it download 2 files, and you already have the latest 2 files, nothing will get downloaded.

Hi Efrem,
Just tested it. No more error and skipping already downloaded files.
Thanks for your help 👍
