larsks / gitdriver Goto Github PK

If I try to run gitdriver, it fails with the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "gitdrive.py", line 114, in <module>
    main()
  File "gitdrive.py", line 112, in main
    commit_revision(gd, opts, rev)
  File "gitdrive.py", line 68, in commit_revision
    rev['lastModifyingUserName'])], env=env)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xfc' in position 8: ordinal not in range(128)

If I'm understanding it right, this is because my Google username (lastModifyingUserName) includes the character ü. Would be nice if non-ASCII characters could be supported.

Hello!

If I run (like the example):

➜  gitdriver git:(master) ✗ env/bin/python gitdriver.py MY_DOC_ID 

I get the following output:

Exactly one mime-type must be given!

When I add the -T/--text flag, or specify --mime-type=text/html, I get the following output:

Create repository "MY_DOC_TITLE"
Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/rosenbek/Desktop/temp/gitdriver/MY_DOC_TITLE/.git/
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "gitdriver.py", line 72, in <module>
    main()
  File "gitdriver.py", line 55, in main
    r = gd.session.get(rev['exportLinks'][opts.mime_type])
KeyError: 'text/html'

Any thoughts what might be going on?

I am trying to clone a Google Sheet, if it's any help.

Thanks for the good idea on this repo!

After inserting the code from the webpage as requested:

Enter code: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Create repository "PRXXX" Initialized empty Git repository in C:/Users/Torre/BrainCrack/gitdriver/PRXXX/.git/ Traceback (most recent call last): File "gitdriver.py", line 74, in <module> main() File "gitdriver.py", line 52, in main for rev in gd.revisions(opts.docid): File "C:\Users\Torre\BrainCrack\gitdriver\drive.py", line 169, in revisions for rev in r['items']: KeyError: 'items'

Now it initializes new git repo and commits all the revisions.

For tracking, it would be much quicker if only new revisions are commited.

The are several forks of this project which all fix various issues and extend the features, several of the accomplishing the same thing in different ways or with a different combinations of features.

It would be really nice to get them cleaned up and integrated into one fork. Python 3 support seems to have been done several times, updating rather than starting from scratch on each run has been done at least twice, there are three iterations of getting author information, mime types have been extended several times, and one complete repost (not listed in the forks) has a some Unicode issues worked out and doesn't die on odd entries in the revisions history such as deleted users.

Are you interested in integrating these into this repository? Are you interested in getting help doing that (yes I might volunteer)? Or are you pretty much done with it and should I look into who else wants to collaborate?

I've found that pandoc does a surprisingly good job of converting Google Docs documents with complicated tables, headings, bullet lists, etc. into reasonable-looking Markdown files (with a few formatting issues that can be cleaned up via a script or via markdown linting) if you use the Github-flavored markdown output format and convert from docx. For example:

pandoc -f docx -t gfm -o MyDocument.md MyDocument.docx

I'd like to implement a --markdown flag in gitdriver that would download the Google Doc using docx mime type, then include an extra step of converting to Github-flavored markdown using pandoc and cleaning up the intermediate docx file. Is that something you'd be interested in adding?

Pro: Your users would now have markdown as an output format option

Con: Some of the inevitable formatting issues that occur when going from docx to markdown may surprise users (violating principle of least-surprise). But warning the user should take care of this.

As an example of the kind of formatting issues I'm referring to:

If there is a line with bold text, and it ends in a space, the space is not ignored, so you end up with the following (invalid) attempt at making the text in the Markdown file bold:

**This is some bold text. **

which does not render correctly in Markdown:

**This is some bold text. **

Bullet list items that span multiple lines have blockquote > in front of them, e.g.,

• Inventore sit non voluptas quidem. Aut nobis fuga facilis rerum et nisi cupiditate ut. Quod quisquam deserunt et ipsum aut velit et numquam. Nihil ab dolorem molestiae dolore voluptate. Et aut ea veritatis velit ipsa repellendus.

• Architecto repudiandae eius sunt ipsa. Quos non dicta id nihil quaerat veniam est sed. Illum laboriosam accusantium dolores totam fugiat animi iusto nihil. Facilis dolores libero mollitia impedit minus iste.

Those are the main two I noticed, there may be a few others but they're minor by comparison.

I have created an OAuth client id and secret along with gd.conf, but I get this error:
