vobject not found: git --recursive fails & missing vobject lib in source .tar.gz

[David Dynerman]

Hello,

I'm trying to get ASynK bbdb<->carddav working and encountering an immediate error when following the example profile setup/dry run sync described here:

Section "Steps"

https://github.com/skarra/ASynK/blob/master/.stash/README.CardDAV.org

The error thrown is:

  File "./asynk.py", line 1057, in login_cd
    raise AsynkError("%s: Cannot use any CardDAV accounts" % e)
__main__.AsynkError: cannot import name vobject: Cannot use any CardDAV accounts

I searched around and found this error might be caused by an incomplete sync. However, a r

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/skarra/ASynK.git

fails once it descends into gdata:

Cloning into 'lib/.gdata'...
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
Clone of 'g...@github.com:skarra/Google-Contacts-API.git' into submodule path 'lib/.gdata' failed

The result is that the vobject subdirectory is empty, which probably shouldn't be the case:

$ ls -ls ASynK/lib/vobject/
$

I also tried downloading the source directory, but that seems to ALSO be missing vobject:

$ wget https://github.com/skarra/ASynK/archive/v2.0.0-rc2.zip
$ unzip v2.0.0-rc2.zip
$ ls -ls ASynK-2.0.0-rc2/lib/vobject/
$

Is this an error? Should that directory be empty? I have no way of knowing if my installation is broken, or if this is a problem with my sync configuration. For what it's worth, the "gold" unit tests in the source directory all pass, but those aren't doing CardDav. The test_cd.py fails with the same vobject error.

Thank you!
David

Can you try a "git submodule update --init" ?

For some reason they did not get checked out. None of the directories inside lib/ should be empty. That is a sign you need to update the submodules properly.

The gold that coverage is nowhere near complete...

Same error, access denied trying to get the gdata submodule:

$ git submodule update --init

Cloning into 'lib/.gdata'...
Permission denied (publickey).

fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

Clone of 'g...@github.com:skarra/Google-Contacts-API.git' into submodule path 'lib/.gdata' failed

This happens both from my home and work IPs, and on my laptop and work computer, so I don't think it's a local problem on my end.

In any case, why is lib/vobject empty in the source .tar.gz? Shouldn't that contain the full snapshot, even if git is failing to get the latest?

This is definitely very strange. Can you clone that submodule manually using one of the following URLs:

git clone g...@github.com:skarra/Google-Contacts-API.git

git clone https://github.com/skarra/Google-Contacts-API.git

Submodules are not included in the github zip / tar files. See here: https://blogs.law.harvard.edu/acts/2012/10/18/github-zip-doesnt-include-submodules/

Directly checking out the submodules did work - 

git clone g...@github.com:skarra/Google-Contacts-API.git

git clone g...@github.com:skarra/vobject.git

I think I have a guess at what's going on. The same access denied error I was getting on .gdata also happens when I request a garbage URL:

$ git clone g...@github.com:skarra/non-existing-repository-hello.git

Cloning into 'non-existing-repository-hello'...

Permission denied (publickey).

fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights

and the repository exists.

The ASynK repository has sym links to some of these submodules - is it possible that they're pointing to non-existing files on github causing it to fail? Or that git --clone isn't following symlinks somehow?

In any case, I can run ASynK now, so I'll go ahead and test it to see if it can perform bbdb <-> carddav

Thanks for all your help,

David

Interesting. I am not a Git expert by a long shot and this is a bit baffling.  But I am glad you got the stuff set up. Let me know how the sync goes.

I'm having exactly this issue. However, cloning using

git clone g...@github.com:skarra/Google-Contacts-API.git
git clone g...@github.com:skarra/vobject.git

fails with the same message:

➜ lib git:(master) ✗ git clone g...@github.com:skarra/Google-Contacts-API.git
Cloning into 'Google-Contacts-API'...

Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Nevermind, I did not have any public key on Git.
