iOS todos not found

[0-wiz-0]

I created some todos on iOS and synced them with vdirsyncer.
I configured todoman to look in the appropriate directory, and when I trace the process, I see that it stats the .ics files.
However, todo list does not show any of them.
.cache/todoman/ids just consists of one line: []
Let me know if you need one of the todos as example.

Yes, please, an example todo would be great to see what's going on. Can you please also include your settings? Thanks!

Sure. Here's the config file:

[main]
path = ~/.calendars/97D2B267-527A-445D-9F4C-5A0152707F79/*

and here's one example, 3F5A66F2-F3AF-4E1E-AEE9-A9B15BA1EDD3.ics from that directory:

~/.calendars/97D2B267-527A-445D-9F4C-5A0152707F79/*

The * here is expanded to match anything inside that directory, and those matches are considered directories with ics files.

I think that what you want is:

~/.calendars/97D2B267-527A-445D-9F4C-5A0152707F79/

Thank you, that is indeed the fix.
Please improve this part of the docs:

path: The path to where your todos are located. It can also be a glob expresion if you wish to include mutiple directories.

expresion -> expression
mutiple -> multiple

Perhaps:

path: A pattern matching the directory or directories where your todos are located (not the todo files themselves). It can also be a glob expression if you wish to include multiple directories.

Indeed, I'll leave this open until I've improved the docs, thanks for
the feedback

Opened a PR at #37.

Perhaps we can make todoman detect such situations and show a better error message.
