Apparent authentication error

[Jason Gilliland]

I am on Debian Wheezy, using goobook 1.6, and I am having what seems to be an authentication error. This error is totally new, and prevents me from accessing my address book at all, although I have been happily and successfully using goobook for a long time.

The error traceback runs as follows:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/local/bin/goobook", line 9, in <module>

    load_entry_point('goobook==1.6', 'console_scripts', 'goobook')()

    res = self.__client.Get(str(query), converter=ET.fromstring)

    'reason': server_response.reason, 'body': result_body}

As you can see, it results in a request error, which seems to say that a login is required, even though, as I mentioned, I have been using goobook successfully for a long time without changing my goobookrc.

Any insight into this problem would be much appreciated, since not being able to access my google contacts from mutt has really put a cramp in my workflow.

Thanks,

Jason

The authentication system Goobook is using, ClientLogin, has been deprecated and removed by Google, i need to rewrite GooBook to use Oauth instead.

I't will probably be a few days before I can do this.

Thank you so much for your quick response, and for looking into this. I cannot express enough how much I appreciate it.

So inconvenient of Google to deprecate that interface, no?

Looking forward to it, thank you!

Got it, thanks a lot for your hard work on this awesome tool!

If someone is getting this problem, I was able to "fix" it temporarily by using whatever I have on my goobook cache and bumping the the cache_expiry_hours to 20000.

Thanks!

Yoshiki.

Just also want to express my gratitude if you're going to fix it (so you know there is more ppl using it :) )

[Justin Chouinard]

Greetings Christer.  I love goobook.  Thank you for the app.  I was wondering if you knew that oauth 1.0 was also unsupported and google has moved to oauth 2.0.  I was trying googlecl and get a message as such.  Just wanted to give you a heads up.

Thanks again.

Hi, yes I'm aware and goobook is using oauth2 so we should be safe for a while.
