Anyone else having problems with Hotmail authentication? Not accepting username/password.

When starting my app in a ruby 1.9 environment I get this issue :

recommended fix: don't monkeypatch Hash. The method is only used once! I would submit a patch but I've already wasted enough time figuring this out and I'm under a tight deadline here.

I installed "contacts" gem on my local machine, wrote some code to get yahoo, gmail and hotmail contacts, and it was running smoothly. I moved the code to a server for testing, my gmail and hotmail contacts were still running, but Yahoo gave me the following error:

Contacts::AuthenticationError: Username and password do not match

I am sure that email and password are correct. I tried my code on another server the behavior was the same ...

Any hints?

Installation is complaining about the jcode gem. Troubleshooting suggests to require the jcode gem if using Ruby < 1.9

Which version of Ruby, Rails is this gem tested for?

Can we update the README?

AOL only uses the username portion of an email address, not the full email address for login.

For example, "my_username" instead of "[email protected]".

Here is a patch with a fix: http://gist.github.com/380851

Connect to Yahoo error.

Ruby 1.9.3

When starting the rails server i get the following warnings:

.../json_pure-1.4.6/lib/json/common.rb:65: warning: already initialized constant State
.../json_pure-1.4.6/lib/json/common.rb:66: warning: already initialized constant SAFE_STATE_PROTOTYPE

Tested against my own gmail account, which has 536 contacts. Only 165 were actually returned. I looked to see if there was a paging mechanism or built-in limitation in the code and couldn't find one, so please forgive me if I missed it.

Sorry this pull request was intended for you. You could pull aol.rb from this fork with rolled up fixes to date.
Also fix the JSON loading and get rid of json_picker.

Emails are not HTML unescaped properly. There are junk at the end of the email address.

It used to work for me but recently it is not. It looks like Gmail just changed their login mechanism. From the debugger, in real_connect method in gmail.rb, I could see that after calling post on the signin page, it didn't get thru and went back to the signin page. Any suggestion/help to fix this? Thx.

neither 1.0.14 or the waheedi fork

Gmail import is not working for me with v1.0.19 of the gem.
Returns an empty array, whether I provide the correct pw or not. (Does not throw an AuthenticationError with the wrong pw, does not return data with the right pw.)

It seems like from the docs this requires the user to enter the username/password, which is pretty uncommon in other sites I've seen with features like this. Thanks!

Hi All,

• gem 'contacts' in our existing application
  

• bundle install in our terminal and what the next steps to reach it ?
  

Hi, thanks for this great library. I try to retrieve contacts for a yahoo email and I get this error:

Contacts::ConnectionError: Yahoo has changed its protocols, please upgrade this library first. If that does not work, dive into the code and submit a patch at http://github.com/cardmagic/contacts
from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/contacts-1.2.1/lib/contacts/yahoo.rb:47:in `contacts'
from (irb):26

Here's the code:

Contacts.new(:yahoo, email, password).contacts

Thanks!

Hi,

using the last 1.0.14 version, If I try to fetch my hotmail contacts (using a @live.com email address), I get this error :

>> c.contacts
NoMethodError: undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass
  from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/cardmagic-contacts-1.0.14/lib/contacts/hotmail.rb:111:in `contacts'

Thanks

Hi,

I have recently installed this gem and basically when I run this in the console:

Contacts.new(:hotmail,'[email protected]','password').contacts

it hangs until I ctrl+c it. I'm running windows ruby 1.8.7 and rails 2.3.4 and my business partner is on a mac.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Mark

Is there a new version out that supports ruby 1.9.3 and rails 3.2?
Who's currently managing this project now?

thanks

Hi Guys,

Thanks for a great gem. Looks like AOL recently changed their protocol. The following tests are failing for me:

1. Error:
   test_fetch_contacts(AolContactImporterTest):
   CSV::IllegalFormatError: CSV::IllegalFormatError
   /opt/local/lib/ruby/1.8/csv.rb:607:in get_row' /opt/local/lib/ruby/1.8/csv.rb:556:ineach'

   ./unit/../../lib/contacts/aol.rb:132:in contacts' unit/aol_contact_importer_test.rb:34:intest_fetch_contacts'

Any ideas?

Thanks.

When I try to login with my hotmail acount in production mode I get the followin error:

Captcha?ctoken=iLdMq4XbHTeTMVI7asj12nJZAbIBot867Dh7MgJSf-pv1sovBooUcma7z0tdpBoelWXgX18-75tWArgDmPT8pho5jVdTNcYftxAUpEuuGf8%3ACOey3mpQg07CLz8ATD-X5A

How I can print the catcha image for the user?

Thanks

Hello,

I am generating json with the to_json method using the :except option and I bump into this error :

TypeError: wrong argument type Hash (expected Data)

This is because contacts depends on the json gem which had a to_json method conflicting with the ActiveSupport one, as described here :

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/683989/how-do-you-deal-with-the-conflict-between-activesupportjson-and-the-json-gem

Is it possible to have contacts use the rails json functions instead ?

Thank you for contacts !

If you try to do:

Contacts.guess(login, password).contacts

as the documentation shows, it complains that you can't call contacts() on an array.

Should just be

Contacts.guess(login, password)

I'm currently working on a contact importer module for my website and I'm very glad I've found the contacts gem. It works perfectly with Gmail and Yahoo! However, I got some timeout issues when I try to retrieve contacts from AOL and Hotmail email accounts.

I've tried with both official contact gem (1.2.0) and also a the latest up-to-date working release of onomojo (Brian McQuay, http://github.com/onomojo/contacts) but still experience the same problems.

Does this require any particular version of required gems?

Here is my error:

Hey there,

the line 3 of gmail.rb (require "json/add/rails") breaks the default "to_json" method for me. Instead of

{"artist":{"name":"artist1",bla, bla...}}

I get

{"attributes":{"name":"artist1",bla, bla...},"json_class":"Artist","attributes_cache":{}}

If I comment the above line, everything is fine.

Hi all,
New to rails etc but noticed that CONTACTS_SCOPE needs to be set to https or a 301 error is returned
Cheer

I can not seem to get this gem working. I think it is a great idea, but I'm having a lot of issues with it.

1. I installed with rails 3.1 and Ruby 1.9.3, did not work. I then got a forked version that fixed that issue.
2. After the above issue was fixed I got the below issue when I ran in 1.9.3 so I downgraded and got the issue again, see below.

What is causing this? How can I get this working with rails 3.1 and 1.9.3? thank you

If you have a company on Google Apps, you can use Gmail as your email client. So the you can have [email protected], and you check it at mail.google.com/a/company.com, where you login with name: username, pass:whatever.

Currently Contacts will fail to retrieve contacts for Gmail accounts of this type.

See this ROR bug :

https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/3193-rails-234-json-gem-to_json-issue

Looks like contacts is causing it in rails >2.3.4

I am successfully able to import contacts using contacts gem in rails 3.1. However, I am not able to display contacts authentication or connection error messages in my application. It gives the following error message in new page:-

Contacts::AuthenticationError in SocialContactsController#import_contacts

Username and password do not match

I am using

@contacts = @sites[params[:from]].new(params[:login], params[:password]).contacts

for authenticating username and password

About 20% of the time it returns the contacts... 80% of the time it croaks with a protocol error. Apparently even when it returns data it has some parse errors (some emails dropped, some characters carried over to the next entry.) Testing with address books of several hundred contacts. Traces below.

Thanks for merging the gdata version of the GMail importer--it would be so great if someone could rewrite this importer (and all the others) to use the supported APIs from each provider where they exist rather than screen scraping which is destine to break continuously. Look how much less code the gdata call is than trying to parse the screen! Please consider this as a priority to any other development if this gem is to have any utility in the real world.
