plswiderski / asanaexporter Goto Github PK

Sorry for posting this here. I tried to contact you via your website, but the contact form just gave me an error.

I am downsizing my team, and will eventually transition away from Asana. However, most of the juicy bits I want to keep are in the conversation threads. Images, prices, hyperlinks, etc. I'm trying to figure out a way to keep all of that. Did you ever find a way to export more than just the name, date, and DRI of the tasks? I thought I would ask before reinventing the wheel.

Thanks!

Alex

Hello Pawel,

I'm facing this message:

ERROR [pool-1-thread-1] (Requester.java:71) - Unexpected error occurred: {"errors":[{"message":"workspace: Object cannot be null","help":"For more information on API status codes and how to handle them, read the docs on errors: https://asana.com/developers/documentation/getting-started/errors"}]}

"workspace: Object cannot be null" => I couldn't identify any changes in their api regarding this.

Any idea?

Thanks!

Hey @plswiderski

Thanks for this handy tool! 👍

It seems the executable hangs for quite a while after the tasks seemingly is finished.

See here the output

root@973ae5728a14:/app# java -jar /app/asanaexporter.jar "${API_KEY}" "${ORGANISATION}"
 INFO [main] (UserDownloadCommand.java:55) - Downloaded userData.

 INFO [main] (Main.java:81) - Last modification dateTime is written.

Then it hangs for about three minutes.

Looking at the source code I suspect the main process is waiting for the threads to terminate:

Is this something that can be tuned a bit?

It's not really a dealbreaker, but perhaps something to improve upon :)
It would at least make testing faster

Thanks for the great work!

Best Regards,

Hi Pawel,

Thanks for building an awesome app.

When executing the app, I get the following error message: ERROR [main] (Main.java:80) - Error occurred while running AsanaExporter.

I've validated that the personal access token that I am using is valid with a curl request: curl https://app.asana.com/api/1.0/users/me \ -H "Authorization: Bearer 0/123456789abcdef"

This is the command that I am calling: java -jar /Applications/asanaexporter-all-1.1.0.jar $1/1234538506617382:abce2f60d9a4d0f6aa69a75ad3418ef2

First of all: Hello and thank you for your hard work.
However when using the command
java -jar asanaexporter-all-1.0.0.jar 0/082fd80a7b5003a08f94360e8f970391
I got this error:
INFO [main] (Main.java:45) - Start importing tasks.
INFO [main] (Main.java:50) - Imported 139 tasks in 3 s.
INFO [main] (Main.java:53) - Start generate csv.

The csv-file itself did not get created.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.(:

Hi there!
Thanks for sharing your code.
I´ve tried run it but I´m facing some problems.

I have an Asana project called "Backlog - DEV" but I wasnt able to download it.
I´ve generated my personal token and run the following command line:

C:\Downloads>java -jar asanaexporter-all-1.1.0.jar <MY_TOKEN> "Backlog - DEV" WARN [main] (Main.java:89) - Could not load lastModification.txt. All tasks will be downloaded. ERROR [main] (Main.java:80) - Error occurred while running AsanaExporter. java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not find workspace with name Backlog - DEV at io.bitbucket.pablo127.asanaexporter.UserDownloadCommand.lambda$run$1(UserDownloadCommand.java:54) at java.base/java.util.Optional.orElseThrow(Optional.java:401) at io.bitbucket.pablo127.asanaexporter.UserDownloadCommand.run(UserDownloadCommand.java:54) at io.bitbucket.pablo127.asanaexporter.Main.<init>(Main.java:210) at io.bitbucket.pablo127.asanaexporter.Main.main(Main.java:60)

Could you help me?
Thanks.

Hello! Recently I was trying to export all the changes made to some Asana tasks. The official export option does not do that – even though all these modifications are recorded and displayed in the web interface. Because of that I first tried to achieve that with web scraping and after a bit of reconnaissance just wrote a tool that sifts through the WebSocket replies from the backend. You can take a look at it here.

Sadly, this method loses most of the formatting and details, introduces a bit of noise (due to a bug in Asana) and only works for just one task at a time. Would you happen to know if this could be done better using the official API?

Hi Pawel,

In september 2020 I have successfully used the AsanaExporter v1.1.0 tool to export all tasks in my projects to a CSV. Thank you for that!

Unfortunately, when I perform the same task now, there are only a minor part of the tasks (or even no tasks) stored in the CSV. My command prompt looks as follows:

Could you check if you have the same issue? Could it be that Asana changed their API?

Thanks a lot!
Luc
