XDG issue authenticating Goobook 3.5

[edward....@gmail.com]

Hi,

I have installed Goobook 3.5 as part of a laptop reinstall from blank. Goobook --version reports 3.5 fine. I downloaded a json file from Google with secret and id.

When I try to authenticate I get an xdg error. I have been through several variants aof install and uninstall etc but keep coming back to it. I tried introducing variants of rc files but have not got past this point.

Has anybody encountered this before and found the answer?

Many thanks.

xxxx@xxxxx ~]$ goobook authenticate -- CLIENT_ID CLIENT_SECRET

Thanks Christer. I do appreciate what you have done with this over the years. I only used goobook to build a daily backup of my personal contacts but I sure do miss it when it doesn't.

I have xdg-open installed at 1.1.2+ and it isn't immediately obvious where I can install a later one from. I had been thinking of setting some environmental variables to see what happens but with that clear diagnosis will probably just wait and watch.

All the very best. Ed.

Sorry, I misunderstood, pyxdg was 4.0.1 which I uninstalled and re installed with pip3 to same version and substituted my id and secret in the goobook authenticate command and goobook authenticate appeared to work.

goobook dump_contacts however does not work. Trace below.

I had been expecting the authentication process to give me something to paste in elsewhere but it just eventually finished with 'The authentication flow has completed' and no errors.

$ goobook dump_contacts
