gmail docklet feed error

[Jørgen B. Thulstrup]

gmail docket stopped working for me.
I simply get "Feed error" when I mouse over.
The icon is grayed out.
I have removed it - and added it again.
Same result.
When I apply password it says "Account validation succeeded"
When I right click and choose "Check Mail" terminal just reports:
[GMailAtom] Fetching Atom feed: https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom/Inbox
I don't get any error reported when running "docky -d"

I'm on Ubuntu 10.4 and Docky 2.02

[Rico Tzschichholz (ricotz)]

Can you please confirm this problem with docky 2.0.4 which is included in lucid-proposed.

Accepted docky into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

[Jørgen B. Thulstrup (jorgen-thulstrup)]

I am not sure if a few hours is now ;-) but I have enabled the proposed repository and have upgraded Docky.
In "About" I get the following version information:
Docky 2.1.0
bzr docky r1490 ppa

I get the same "Feed error" as described above.

[Robert Dyer (psybers)]

The only way to get feed error is if there is a problem parsing the returned feed.

This means that:

a) it seems to be connecting to/logging in to your account
b) it is downloading *something* from the feed
c) that something is ill formed, somehow

In order for us to diagnose this, I am going to have to make a custom branch which means you will have to download, compile, and install that branch.

The branch is: lp:~psybers/docky/bug595530

Instructions for installing for source can be found here: http://wiki.go-docky.com/index.php?title=Installing#Installing_From_Source

Where it says 'bzr branch lp:docky' just replace that with 'bzr branch lp:~psybers/docky/bug595530' then follow the rest of the instructions to compile, make, install and run it. When you get 'Feed Error' message now, the debug output (make sure you run with --debug!) will contain a stack trace. Post that here.

Robert

I have followed the instructions and installed the custom branch you have made.
The compile, make, install was successful.

When running docky --debug and following the steps described in my first mail above I get the same "Feed error" as described above. The following is output from the terminal window:

Thanks for doing that, but I don't think you managed to enable debug mode properly. You should see these if you did:

[Debug 14:44:36.314] [UserArgs] BufferTime = 0
[Debug 14:44:36.314] [UserArgs] MaxSize = 2147483647
[Debug 14:44:36.314] [UserArgs] NetbookMode = False
[Debug 14:44:36.314] [UserArgs] NoPollCursor = False

Along with many more 'Debug' type log messages.

If you have IRC please stop by #docky on irc.freenode.net and find me (PsyberS).

[Robert Dyer (psybers)]

We resolved this via IRC. The problem was that apparently GMail does not follow the ATOM specification and can have entries with no author information.

Fixed in rev 1554.

debdiff which fixes this is attached to bug #579049

GMail docklet works fine for me with the docky version in the proposed repository. I do not get the "Feed Error" as mentioned in the bug description. What I see is "Inbox - 2 unread messages".
