gtasks's Issues

Tasks view command showing completed tasks

Hi!

When I run the tasks view command with the -c flag I get all tasks, even the ones with status: completed.

Terminal output

gtasks tasks view -c=false


Tasks in i2a:
[1] Test
    Description: 
    Status: completed
    No Due Date
[2] Add http -> https rule for DC
    Description: 
    Status: completed
    No Due Date
[3] Sjekke om vi trenger databehandler avtale og send til Tommy Lund
    Description: 
    Status: completed
    No Due Date
[4] Send refusjon om apple utvikler lisens til Vemun
    Description: 
    Status: needsAction
    No Due Date
[5] Update xplore doc with mqtt implementation
    Description: 
    Status: completed
    No Due Date

URLs not included in output

When using Share With... to the Tasks app in Android, a task is created with a URL associated with it. The URL does not appear in the output from gtasks tasks -l Inbox view.

Strange characters shown when moving cursor with left and right arrows

When adding tasks and trying to move the cursor with the right and left arrows to edit text, strange characters appear. Does this happen on your machine?

Access blocked: Gtasks CLI’s request is invalid

I am signed into multiple google workspace accounts in the browser. When I paste the o-auth link from gtasks login I get this error:

How do I proceed?

Does this still work?

Tried to install your tool and login but got the following:

Change `--completed` flag to `--include-completed`

• Change completed flag => include-completed since it's semantically incorrect
• The flag should be included when you want to see the completed tasks too

README.md Discrepancy

This is minor however the instruction to cd into the google-tasks-cli directory after cloning was overlooked, I think it would be nice if it was implemented in case novices ran into that misunderstanding while installing.

Option for auto selecting a tasks list

It would be very convenient to have a way to auto select a list for all tasks commands either through an command line option or environmental variable:

Examples

gtasks tasks view --list=worklist
gtasks tasks rm --list=personallist

Tasks and tasklists create/add commands are inconsistent

I was going to do a pull request to update the documentation for tasks, to swap 'create' for 'add' to match the command but looking at tasklists, I see that the command for a new one is 'create'.

Perhaps not the biggest issue, I realize, but having the same command for new tasks and tasklists would be good for new users (it'll be easier to remember).

I don't know go, so I don't want to muck around in the code, but I could help with updating the documentation, if you'd like.

Date Time format

The date Time format url is not available anymore.

Add flag to filter only completed tasks

• there might be a situation where a user might only want to see completed tasks.
• Add a flag for that, which, if passed, should ONLY show the completed tasks to a user.

Old client secret has been revoked

old client secret has been revoked. If you want that gtasks continues to work for you, you need to create a new GCP project here: https://developers.google.com/tasks/firstapp#register

The config.json file can be found at the location where gtasks was installed.

New token not being refreshed

Hello,
first of all thank you for your tool !

I was wondering if the token not being refreshed was a normal behavior ?
I have to frequently logout, then relogin manually to refresh the token.json even though this token contains a refresh_token.

Sort tasks by date

Create new task without prompt.

Hi!
I'd like to create a new task without prompt.

Maybe you could add some flags, for example:

gtasks tasks add --tasklist "my list" --title "my title" --note "my notes" --due "2021-09-15"

Different sort order in gtasks and than in the official Android Tasks and web app

When changing the order of tasks in the Android or web app, the changes are not reflected in gtasks:

CLI interface updates

• The current one looks kinda ugly:

Terminal Output

gtasks tasks view -c
Choose a Tasklist:
✔ To watch
Tasks in To watch:

[1] Notting hill
    Description: Movie
    Status: completed
    No Due Date


[2] The good place
    Description: Series
    Status: completed
    No Due Date


[3] Fresh off the boat
    Description: Sitcom
    Status: completed
    No Due Date


[4] Blade runner both
    Description: Movie
    Status: completed
    No Due Date

• The CLI interface needs a more compact update. Perhaps a table format to utilise the width of the display. Something like this:

Pass task number to complete or remove task

It would be convenient to pass the task number to a gtasks tasks done|rm. Thanks for serving my issue requests, your application has now become an integral part of my workflow :)

tasks in a tasklist are limited to 20 items

Can't leverage gtasks to its usefulness due to the limit of 20 tasks per tasklist.
If this is an API limitation maybe it could be bypassed by making multiple requestes per tasklist or by increasing the default limit, if it is the case.

Google Tasks to CSV

First of all, awesome job but I was wondering if there was any way these google tasks could be exported to a comma separated value file. Here is my attempt to do this in bash for a single tasklist

#!/usr/bin/env bash

gtasks tasks --tasklist General view | sed 's/|//g' | \
while read i
do
    if [[ $i =~ [0-9] ]];then
        echo "$i" | sed -e 's/ \{2,\}/,/g'
    fi
done

Here is code for all tasklists:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

for i in $(gtasks tasklists view); do
    if [[ ! $i =~ [0-9] ]];then
        gtasks tasks --tasklist "$i" view | sed 's/|//g' | \
        while read i
        do
            if [[ $i =~ [0-9] ]];then
                echo "$i" | sed -e 's/ \{2,\}/,/g'
            fi
        done
    fi
done
