Open Conference URL - Launch the Zoom/Meet call for your next calendar event

[caleb531 19]

With the "new normal", many of us are working from home and jumping from one virtual meeting to the next to the next: from Zoom to Google Meet to GoToMeeting, etc. To save the pain of scrambling to open your next meeting link, I have written a workflow just for that!

 

It's called "Open Conference URL", and its usage is simple: type conf to see your upcoming calendar events. Hit Enter to launch Zoom/Meet/etc. immediately. And even if you are 15 minutes late, the workflow will know what to do. (Download Workflow)

 

If there are no nearby calendar events, the workflow displays all events for today:

I'm getting an error in cache.py:

 

  File "ocu/cache.py", line 42, in __init__
    self.refresh()
  File "ocu/cache.py", line 110, in refresh
    if self.get('event_blobs') != event_blobs:
  File "ocu/cache.py", line 77, in get
    return self.__dict__[key]
KeyError: u'event_blobs'

 

You’re using dict incorrectly. dict[key] always throws a KeyError if a key doesn’t exist.

 

    # Return True if the given key exists in the cache; otherwise, return false
    def has(self, key):
        if self.__dict__[key]:
            return True
        else:
            return False

    # Return True if the given key exists in the cache; otherwise, return false
    def get(self, key):
        return self.__dict__[key]

 

I think you mean to be using self.__dict__.has_key() and self.__dict__.get()? If you’re going to store data in __dict__, you might as well inherit from dict instead of object.

 

It's not a good idea to store user preferences in the workflow's own folder: they'll get overwritten by a workflow update. If you can't or don't want to store them in info.plist as workflow environment variables, put them in the workflow's data directory.

Im having exactly this error, i'm just a rookie developer and tried this change you mention but still does not work for me, could you lend a hand?
 

    from ocu.cache import cache
  File "ocu/cache.py", line 130, in <module>
    cache = Cache()
  File "ocu/cache.py", line 42, in __init__
    self.refresh()
  File "ocu/cache.py", line 110, in refresh
    if self.get('event_blobs') != event_blobs:
  File "ocu/cache.py", line 77, in get
    return self.__dict__.get([key])
TypeError: unhashable type: 'list'

self.__dict__.get([key])

 

self.__dict__.get(key) (no square brackets). I’ve no idea if that will fix anything. It fixes a bug, but it also changes the semantics.

It worked flawlessly! 😍
