Improve experience when gcalcli is missing auth #691
Comments
And also if you haven't used apps with similar auth setup before, it's not super obvious that (at least in Chrome) you need to proceed past the scare page by expanding an "Advanced options" thing and selecting "Proceed anyway". Could use hints about that. |
Oh and related to the "and probably when auth becomes expired/invalid" part, people seem to get stuck needing to manually delete and force refresh authentication (example: #682 (comment)). Would be nice if gcalcli were more self-aware about those invalid auth cases and more helpful about what to do about it. |
K, I think I got all of those different smells improved!

Should give more user-friendly output about auth issues after fresh install (and probably when auth becomes expired/invalid, too).
If you just install gcalcli and invoke
gcalcli list
with no prior setup, it seems to point you straight to an authentication link that no longer works and says "App is blocked". This could be way less error-prone.Also, it seems to require separate authentication for
calm
/calw
vs.list
, but doesn't seem to explain that anywhere obvious. That could be clarified and have the experience improved, too.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
