Bug: KeyError when The Event has no Summary Field about i3-agenda

[rosenpin]

Isn't summary just the event name? how do you even create an event without a title?

Are you sure? Can you reproduce it this way? Because I never enter a description and it doesn't crash for me

[Zackhardtoname]

Somehow I can't reproduce it now, but I am sure that's the problematic field since the error went away as soon as I put in some text there. (Previously, reinstalling did not help.)

[rosenpin]

I read the logs you sent, seems like the error occurs in this line
https://github.com/rosenpin/i3-agenda/blob/master/i3_agenda/__init__.py#L147

The summary field is the title as far as I know, this is how it works when I use it so there shouldn't be a different in your instance (unless there was a change to the API and you have a newer version than I)

I'll look into the error when I get the time

First. Thank you for this wonderful package. I just wanted to report that trying to install this with a fresh install through AUR i get a similar error. Credentials were created and look find. When I run with the -u flag I get.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/bin/i3-agenda", line 33, in <module>
    sys.exit(load_entry_point('i3-agenda==1.4', 'console_scripts', 'i3-agenda')())
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/i3_agenda/__init__.py", line 100, in main
    events = getEvents(service, allowed_calendars_ids, args.maxres,
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/i3_agenda/__init__.py", line 173, in getEvents
    all.append(Event(event['summary'],
KeyError: 'summary'

I can see the .i3agenda folder is created, with the token.pickle. The .cache.txt file ends up being an empty array.

If you have any ideas please let me know. This looks like a fantastic script and I appreciate the time you took to build it.

🐛 Just tried this out and I have the same error as @snide. This looks like a fantastic module. <3

I looked into this and with patch in PR #48, the code no longer runs into this error. However I'm not sure if that's a complete fix. At the moment, after running the script just with the -c flag set, I get this output:

%d/%m at 01:45 busy

[rosenpin]

Do you literally get "%d/%m"? or the actual day/month?

I think maybe shared events really be the reason for this because I don't really have any shared events and I never ran into such issue

[rosenpin]

@snide do you have shared events in your calendar?

Could you try @indradhanush patch?

[indradhanush]

Do you literally get "%d/%m"? or the actual day/month?

Yes, indeed. I was confused and thought that maybe I am missing some additional configuration? I will try this out without a shared calendar and see if I am seeing a similar behaviour.

[snide]

I'll try to run the patch later today.

I checked today where the next / current event description was publicly available from the shared calendar and the description along with the timestamp was printed as the output. However, if the event description is not publicly available, I still see the %d/%m in the output.

And on that note, I was also thinking that users may only want to use i3-agenda as what is the next meeting in their calendar that they need to be at instead of seeing a notification for the next meeting from every shared calendar. Would it be possible to maybe optionally exclude all shared calendars? That is if the user wanted, they may set a flag like --exclude-shared=foo,bar,baz and that would only exclude these three calendars from the events list?

Or alternatively, the opposite of the above as --include-shared=foo,bar,baz and it only shows events from these shared calendars while excluding every other shared calendar? And if that flag is not set, i3-agenda skips all events from shared calendars.

What do you think?

Edit: My bad. I was reading the code, and it seems this is already doable with the --ids flag.
