[tasque-list] RTM failed to get task list

[Adam Monsen]

Tasque == Rad. Thank you for this awesome tool!

I'm using tasque Version: 0.1.6-1ubuntu1 (came with Ubuntu 8.10). When I
try to use RememberTheMilk, I'm unable to fetch existing tasks. Adding
new tasks works as expected.

I notice the following in the debug log:

[Debug]: Exception calling TasksGetList(list.ListID) unexpected end of
file in an attribute value Line 11, position 3350.
[Debug]: Exception calling TasksGetList(list.ListID) expected '>' (3E)
but found 'EOF' (FFFFFFFF) Line 4, position 9175.
[Debug]: Exception calling TasksGetList(list.ListID) Expected =, but
found EOF [-1] Line 10, position 3589.

I tried building from SVN, but I ran out of steam at this point:
$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=$HOME/dist/tasque-dev --enable-backend-rtm
You need to install gnome-common from the GNOME CVS

I also tried rebuilding 0.1.8 from the next Ubuntu release, but I got
"Unmet build dependencies: mono-devel (>= 2.0) libgnome2.24-cil".

I usually use RememberTheMilk over HTTPS. Might that make any difference
in this situation?

Want me to file a bug?

I'm C#-curious, so I would like to take a crack at fixing this someday
(if necessary), but I need to get development tools set up, get familiar
with C#, etc.

This is a known bug, fixed in Tasque 0.1.8.

You actually just need to install the gnome-common package.

I don't think we really have those high of dependencies. I don't
understand why people do that when they package. You're better off
building from the 0.1.8 tarball yourself (or from SVN).

You'll be well on your way if you run `sudo apt-get build-dep tasque`.
It should get you all the dependencies that were needed to build Tasque
0.1.6. Also make sure you have installed the build-essential package,
first.

If you have any questions or problems with this, let me know, we'll help
you get this going. :-) You can reply here or join us in #tasque on
GIMPNet.

Best,
Sandy

That worked, thank you!

$ svn switch http://svn.gnome.org/svn/tasque/tags/TASQUE_0_1_8/
$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=$HOME/dist/tasque-dev --enable-backend-dummy
--enable-backend-rtm --enable-backend-sqlite --enable-backend-eds
--enable-backend-hiveminder
$ make

And I concur, 0.1.8 does indeed fix this issue. Rock on. Seems faster, too.

Glad it fixed the issue, but I'm surprised about a speed improvement.
Communication with RTM should actually be slower now, on average (the
problem with RTM was that we were making requests too freqently, so I
had to put in a 1 second delay per request...and we make a few requests
on every action, basically).

Ah, interesting. I ran the old version again, looks like it takes the
longest right while the "[Debug] Exception..." lines are being output:
maybe 3 seconds each line. Not sure if that helps.

Here are my anecdotal timings to get to the task list display (I just
hit CTRL-C once the debug output stopped with "Backend sync
finished")...

0.1.6: 19.025 sec
0.1.8: 10.313 sec
