[hamster plugin] not start tracking tasks

Hi,

I've upgraded recently to Ubuntu 10.10 (development branch) and I experienced the same problem. I've got hamster-plugin 2.31.92-0ubuntu2 installed.

The gtg version is 0.2.4-4

Same to me. Same lines, same error...
GTG Version: 0.2.4-4
Hamster Version: 2.31.92

Hi,

I'm on Archlinux
Hamster Version : 2.32.0
GTG Version : trunk

i tried to figure out whats wrong, I guess they changed the api of addFact in this version, looks like this now:
add_fact(
self,
activity_name,
tags = '',
start_time = None,
end_time = None,
category_name = None,
description = None,
temporary = False
)

I hope this may help

Hi me again its not the trunk version its 0.2.4 sorry for that

I wrote a quick patch for hamster db which works for me on ubuntu 10.10 Feel free to test it and give me feedback.

@wimpunk,
that patch did not work for me. I wrote, another one, that worked fine. The only problem is that the AddFact method exported via dbus has a parameter, named 'temporary' which I do no have the value. So, I set it to default value, which is 'False'. Hope this help too.

Working on an updated ubuntu 10.10.

@rbertran, your patch worked for me also. Thank you!

Using GTG 0.2.4 and Hamster 2.31.92 on Ubuntu 10.10

@rbertran,
I noticed my fix was to quick. I'll try yours.

@rbertran,

It looks like your patch has, just like mine, a problem with tags. If you submit your tags, they get added with a # in front. I also didn't got the categories working but I may be overlooking something.

@wimpunk

Yes, it seems that something is still wrong.
Categories and tags are not properly handled,
but at least the patch sets Hamster to the task.
So, we need to test a bit more to see was going
on.

Here's a patch that addresses the tag issue. Its been working for me for a week now.

Also, I haven't been experiencing an issue with category handling. I've only applied @rbertran's last patch (#7) and the patch I submitted (#12).

I have looking into this a little bit deeper. I attach a patch that seems to fix this activity setting
problem and other related issues.

- Since the interface changed, there is not need to prepend # or @ in tags or categories.
- Moreover, the configuration GUI has two options: use GTG tag as category or Default to GTG
tag as category if the task is unsorted. I realized that the plugin did not *force* the GTG category.
So, I changed that too.

I do not know if this is the behavior that GTG-hamster plugin author want, but seems to work for
me.

rbertran's patch worked for me. Thanks :)

Just hitting this issue. rbertan's patch works here. Good job!

I rebuilt this with the latest patch from rbertan and put in my PPA at https://launchpad.net/~martinb3/+archive/ppa in case anyone else wants to use it (follow the instructions under 'Adding this PPA to your system' on that page).

rbertran's patch worked for me as well. Thanks :)

Any chance this can be included in the 11.04 Ubuntu release?

The same issue is still exist in 11.04 (natty)

$ apt-show-versions hamster-applet gtg
gtg/natty uptodate 0.2.4-5
hamster-applet/natty uptodate 2.32.1-0ubuntu1

Yes. not working in 11.04 the task appears in Hamster activity drop down menu if you open Hamster and type the first letter(s) of it but it wont start automatically when you press the Hamster Icon (I don't know if its the desired behavior or a Hamster bug!)

Running gtg trunk (0.3-development) with 2.32.1-ubuntu (from 11.04) gives a similar error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/GTG/plugins/hamster/hamster.py", line 248, in task_cb

TypeError: AddFact() takes at most 5 arguments (7 given)

As far as I understand, the error comes from mismatching version trunk - 2.32.1. Is this correct?
If so, could someone give me a description on how to get hamster trunk or a 2.32.1 compatible gtg version?
I've tried to install gtg from the ubuntu repos, but gtg could not start. I guess the problem is that some config settings are not backward compatible. The error was something related to the localfile module.

hi i am running oneiric beta 2 and i am experiencing the same issues

regards

Viktor, Ganesh> Which version of GTG do you use? I have try the trunk (rev 1012) at it works good for my hamster installed from Ubuntu repositories.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to use 0.2.4 after trying trunk - see the bug #827658 (I want to write script for reversing but it would take some time)

It also broken for me on Oeiric

gtg | 0.2.4-5 | http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/universe
amd64 Packages
hamster-applet | 2.32.1-0ubuntu5 | http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
oneiric/universe amd64 Packages

--
http://antono.info/

The stable version which is in Ubuntu is broken with hamster. Please try to test it with the trunk version:

bzr clone lp:gtg
cd gtg
scripts/debug.sh

It should work (it works for me so far). Any feed would be appreciated!

Thank you very much! It works!

I advice you to use the following PPA (an easy way how to use custom packages): https://edge.launchpad.net/~gtg/+archive/gtg-daily

It allows you to use the current (at least a little bit) stable development version. I am working in my spare time on releasing a new version of GTG but it takes some time to finish it.

The changes applied to AddFact, categories and tag_str in old patches does not work either.
You can't apply the patches because the hamster.py is changed.
I applied them manually and traceback is gone but the activity does not appear in hamster either.

ok , you cant pass 0 as start time any more. passing time.time() solves the problem

I created a patch for 0.2.9 in Ubuntu X64 12.10. It fixes a Tag problem too.
