Build project

gradlew build fatjar

The jar is located in the folder /build/libs.

You can download built project from https://pablo127.bitbucket.io/asanaexporter/asanaexporter-all-1.1.0.jar

Run

Run exporter by:

java -jar asanaexporter-all-1.1.0.jar $personalAccessToken

or

java -jar asanaexporter-all-1.1.0.jar $personalAccessToken "YOUR WORKSPACE NAME"

personalAccessToken is an authorization token for your asana account (more: https://asana.com/developers/documentation/getting-started/auth#personal-access-token). You can generate it from asana settings panel, click on your logo (top right corner) in asana webpanel. Then select My Profile Settings > Apps > Manage Developer Apps > Create New Personal Access Token.

Remember to Deauthorize token that you do not use. It is safer to generate token before each usage of AsanaExporter.

Results

The result is asanaTasks.csv document that consists of all exported tasks. Remember that this file is always overriden by each run of the AsanaExporter tool.

File lastModification.txt is created after each run. It contains the date of the last modification. Next run of tool will use that date to omit tasks that were modified before this date. If you would like to download all tasks — just remove the file.
