Generate Google Calendar events from Google Sheets

Google Sheets To Calendar

Reads Google Sheets from Google Drive and creates events to Google Calendar.

Prerequisites

Run bundle install to install all prerequisities.

Setup

1. Download OAuth 2.0 JSON credential file from Google Developers Console and save it to client_secret.json.
2. Copy config.json.template to config.json.
3. Modify config.json according to your needs.

Running

Run ruby run.rb

Credentials will be asked and they will be stored to credentials directory, so next time they will not be asked.

It's a good idea to make backup from config.json and credentials/ (into Dropbox for example).

Create Docker image

After you have credentials/token.yaml and config.json set up:

$ docker build -t sheet-to-cal .

Running periodically

If you have anacron installed (like in Ubuntu), you can create a following script to /etc/cron.weekly/sheet-to-cal:

#!/bin/sh

set -e

cd INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY
./run_docker.sh 2>&1 /tmp/sheet-to-cal.log

The script writes log file /tmp/sheet-to-cal.log. You can test if running the script works by sudo anacron -d -n -f.

Debugging

1. Add gem 'pry-byebug' to Gemfile
2. Run bundle install
3. Add require 'pry' to Ruby file to be debugged
4. Add binding.pry to wanted line in Ruby file
