Keep getting message to generate my token...

[tallship]

After installing the cloudboard.vim plugin with Vundle and activating it, I generated my token at github.

The permissions I gave it were for "repo" and "gist".

After that I open Vim and do a:

:CBInit

Then I receive the message:

To use CloudBoard, you must generate your personal access token (https://github.com/settings/tokens), then input it here:

I input my personal access token and get an error that reads:

TypeError: string indices must be integers

Here's what the output looks like in my terminal: http://screencast.com/t/hATIZTiGWej

Is this because I need to check more options other than just the four checkboxes in the 'repo' section and the 'gist' section of the token creation section at github? Or is this the result of some other error?

Thanks! 👍

I tried updating my token by selecting and enabling all checkboxes, thereby providing the token access to do anything/everything. After a :CBInit and entering the token again I now receive the following error:

TypeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute '__getitem__'

This would truly be a great plugin if I can just get it to work, cutting and pasting from one machine to another via a cloud-based clipboard and file store.

Any ideas where I should look from here?

Here's the system:

Vim 7.4.1530
Linux hammer 4.4.0 #1 SMP Mon Jan 11 22:25:06 CST 2016 x86_64 AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 6128 AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

Only check on gist is enough to go.

It seems that gist API returned something unexpected, could you please add below line at cloudboard.py:35 to print out the response from https://api.github.com/gists?

print gists

Here's what I got after adding/inserting:

print gists

after line 35 in ~/.vim/bundle/cloudboard.vim/plugin/cloudboard.py

Or perhaps this is what you wanted to see?

Let me know because it seems to be a really great plugin if I can just get it to work 👍

I did not see anything wrong in the response from https://api.github.com/gists. To debug the issue, save below snippet as a file t.py, run python t.py <your_token_here>.

import base64, os, sys
import urllib, urllib2, json

def request(url, headers, data=None, httpErrorHandler=None, json_decode=True):
    req = urllib2.Request(url, data)
    for k in headers.keys():
        req.add_header(k, headers[k])
    try:
        response = urllib2.urlopen(req)
        jstr = response.read()
    except urllib2.HTTPError, e:
        jstr = '{"error": "%s"}' % e
        if httpErrorHandler:
            httpErrorHandler(e)
    except urllib2.URLError, e:
        jstr = '{"error": "%s"}' % e
    ret = jstr
    if json_decode:
        ret = json.loads(jstr)
    return ret

reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding('utf8')

gists = request('https://api.github.com/gists', {'Authorization': 'token %s' % sys.argv[1]})
for g in gists:
    print g['description'][:10]
    print g['files']

Thanks Brook!

Here's what I got when running that script:

$ python ./t.py 5f6285f749072a20b12e207eb4b6f4a1d9bf084b
Install tm
{u'install_tmux_centos6.sh': {u'size': 830, u'raw_url': u'https://gist.githubusercontent.com/tallship/5119391/raw/12ec5ded22188802b66b0f981b27243f00c9152b/install_tmux_centos6.sh', u'type': u'application/x-sh', u'language': u'Shell', u'filename': u'install_tmux_centos6.sh'}}
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./t.py", line 27, in <module>
    print g['description'][:10]
TypeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute '__getitem__'

I went and generated another token after this so not to worry about the one above.

This commit 2032a76 should fix the issue, please have a try.

[tallship]

Yes, it works flawlessly now - and this is going to be an invaluable tool keeping files up and ready to paste into vim for quick deployments, etc.

Thank you so much for addressing this and the fix Brook!
