Google oauth handler using an external Python script

[gaganpreet]

This fixes Google authorization by relying on an external Python script to handle redirects. I tested a couple of scenarios and it works fine on my end. I stuck to the standard library so it should work on every system out of the box.

Fixes #333

[MRo47]

Tested this on

Kubuntu 22.04
5.19.0-38-generic

No issues while sigining up, loads all events.

Thank you

[Zren]

I prefer this solution to the golang one. I assume the golang binary would run in any distro but I wouldn't be able to confirm that.

I was apprehensive of depending on the executable dataengine for both of these PRs as I wasn't sure if all dataengines were being removed in Plasma6 though. Seems that there's going to be a Plasma5Support package to keep them around for the short term though.

I'd originally planned to rewrite all of the the google api request code in python, but the golang PR made me realize that was overkill. Thank you both for the simpler solution.

I've cloned this repo and installed it, but when trying to sign in to google, I keep getting the issue as previous. How do we use the python script to log in?

[shakeelansari63]

Installed this version and can confirm it works like a charm. I am on Endeavor OS (Arch), KDE 5.27.4

Did you switch to google-calendar-fix branch? I did same mistake, I cloned gaganpreet's repo and installed it from master branch not realising the changes are in different branch. And was still getting same error. But later switched to google-calendar-fix branch and re-installed and it started working.

Well, do I fell dumb or what 🤣

[dodo-the-dev]

Ok, I tried that, and still doesn't work. Just keeps coming up with the same error. What am I not doing correctly?

[shakeelansari63]

Try Clean Install.

Remove Old plasmoid

rm -rf ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.eventcalendar

And then install updated one.

[dodo-the-dev]

Try Clean Install.

Remove Old plasmoid

rm -rf ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.eventcalendar

Nope, used that, still get the same. I give up!

Thanks for your help thought

[shakeelansari63]

@dodo-the-dev Just wondering how did you install it originally. Did you install it from KDE store / Git or via your Distro's Package manager.

If you had installed via distro's package manager, it might be installed system wide in /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/

In that case, you may have to remove it from /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/ for clean install.

rm -rf ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.eventcalendar
sudo rm -rf /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.eventcalendar

And then install it from gaganpreet:google-calendar-fix

You can give this a try if you wish to :+1:

[dodo-the-dev]

Oh wow, I didn't have anything in those folders, so I downloaded the Zip instead of the github and it worked first time. Not sure why, but thanks

[aokugel]

Works for me on fedora 38, Plasma 5.27.5

[pmsobrado]

@gaganpreet Could you make this changes also for v68 branch? I tried to add them manually to that branch but then I got error 401 invalid client or client not found. I need v68 branch because of this:

@Zren and when this pull request will be merged? :)

hey @Zren, its been a month since last reference of this PR and Im wondering when will you merge this PR or whether you need more test from others on which side?

EDIT:

I manage to use this branch and It's working, took me a bit of a brawl since I use @kanocz version first and i need to do clean install thx to @NeilPandya

Thanks to @gaganpreet, @NeilPandya for his guide. It works perfectly on

Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20230906
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.7
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.109.0
Qt Version: 5.15.10
Kernel Version: 6.4.12-1-default (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11

[Pentasis]

Works on: Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.8 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.110.0 Qt Version: 5.15.10 Kernel Version: 6.5.3-1-MANJARO (64-bit)

But I do get a warning: "Providing a metadata.desktop file for KPackage metadata is deprecated." Which is just minor and it installs perfectly and Authorisation works.

[NeilPandya]

@Zren any update to when this branch can be merged?

git clone https://github.com/gaganpreet/plasma-applet-eventcalendar eventcalendar cd eventcalendar git switch google-calendar-fix git pull sh ./install

However, when I get to git switch google-calendar-fix , I get the following: fatal: invalid reference: google-calendar-fix

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? I'm very layperson with this entire scene btw.

not without knowing/seeing exactly what you tried. Command by command.

[shakeelansari63]

Wish this PR soon gets merged to master. So that people don't have to keep working with workarounds like cloning feature branch and installing manually.

[NeilPandya]

I'm following these steps:

rm -rf ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.eventcalendar sudo rm -rf /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.eventcalendar git clone https://github.com/gaganpreet/plasma-applet-eventcalendar eventcalendar cd eventcalendar git switch google-calendar-fix git pull sh ./install

@BackOnMyBS ,

Can you type git branch, and share the results? We can see what branches are shown as available to be switched to in the repo you cloned.

@BackOnMyBS Also, maybe you can try again and copy/paste your terminal output to another post here or on pastebin or something like that so others can take a look?

Try git checkout google-calendar-fix instead of git switch google-calendar-fix if that helps
