Every 7 days, I start getting the following error in my log files

Basically the error is code = input('Enter verification code: ').strip()

To fix it, I have to create a new OAuth2 token and run this command again gcalcli --noauth_local_webserver --client-id=$clientid --client-secret=$clientsecret --config-folder $parentdir/clients/$clientdir/auth agenda

And then it lasts for 7 more days, and I have to repeat the process again.

What I'm I doing wrong here?

This is the actual error

oauth2client.client.HttpAccessTokenRefreshError: invalid_grant: Token has been expired or revoked.

For some reason the token expired

I have the same issue:

In documentation https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2#expiration there is written:

A Google Cloud Platform project with an OAuth consent screen configured for an external user type and a publishing status of "Testing" is issued a refresh token expiring in 7 days.

So the app needs to be published, which required google verification. :-(

I have not found a solution yet.

Duplicate of https://github.com/insanum/gcalcli/issues/611 ?

@aristosv @dequeckerp You guys can try this work around:

If you are using KDE, add that url to kOrganizer, restart your system. Then use konsolekalendar in terminal.

I don't see how that iCal link can be used with gcalcli command line options.

Per https://github.com/insanum/gcalcli/issues/611 , if we can figure out how to get gcalcli to pass a redirect_uri parameter to the Python Google OAuth2 module, it should be possible to publish the app without Google review and have longer-lasting tokens. I also filed an Ubuntu bug report at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-oauth2client/+bug/1983216 since it appears upstream is no longer maintaining the relevant library https://github.com/googleapis/oauth2client/issues/317

Does the replacement library google-auth support the required functionality?

I believe so. The deprecated Python module doesn't allow the code to specify redirect_uri. If we want to publish a web app in production rather than testing (thus extending the token expiration period), while foregoing Google verification, we need to be able to set redirect_uri. There's probably some way to hack around this in the existing gcalcli code but it wasn't something I could solve in a few minutes.

I've published my own google app I was using to connect and I haven't had issues since. It gave an ugly warning about not being verified when logging in, but you can say you don't care :)

How did you publish it? Doesn't it need to pass a manual review by Google?

No, it doesn't, unless you want to make that warning go away.
