Sync UGVLE assignment with Google Calender

Setup

Step 1 - Generate credentials.json

A credentials.json file from a Google Cloud Platform project is needed to used the Calender API.

1. Create a new Google Cloud Platform project (https://console.cloud.google.com/projectcreate).
2. Goto APIs & Services > Credentials
3. Create a 'OAuth2 Client ID' from 'CREATE CREDENTIALS'
4. Select 'Desktop App' as the application type and enter a name for the credentials
5. Finish creation using 'CREATE'
6. Download the credentials and move it to the karma directory

Note: Google Calender API should be enabled from the console's API library.

Step 2 - Configure the environment

Use setup.py to create an environment for scripts to be run.

1. Change permissions of setup.sh

sudo chmod 755 setup.sh

2. Run the setup.sh

./setup.sh

Step 3 - Configure run script

Run karma scripts using run.sh.

1. Create run.sh

cp run.sh.sample run.sh

2. Change <username> and <password> inside run.sh to UGVLE username and password respectively

3. Change permissions of run.sh

sudo chmod 755 run.sh

4. Run the run.sh

./run.sh

Step 4 (Optional) - Setup a cron job

Setup up a cron job to run run.sh in intervals to automatically sync assignments with Google Calender.
