Github to Omnifocus

Hi everyone!

I love using Omnifocus for my own personal tracking and Github for Software and Orgwide collaboration tracking. A while ago I made a simple script to import all the issues assigned to me on Github so that I could track them in Omnifocus. It is available at https://github.com/daviddias/github-to-omnifocus/

With the Omnifocus 3 release and respective upgrade, the script stopped working. Internally, all I was doing was using another Open Source module, osa-omnifocus"

github.com

daviddias/github-to-omnifocus/blob/master/bin.js#L32-L36


omnifocus.addTask({
  name: name,
  note: issue.html_url,
  project: 'GitHub Inbox'
}, cb)

And that modules uses OSA to add tasks to Omnifocus:

github.com

wtfaremyinitials/osa-omnifocus/blob/master/index.js#L18-L44


OmniFocus.addTask = function(task, cb) {
// Example transport text
// Do something! @home ::misc #5pm #tomrrow //This is a note


if(typeof task == 'object') {
    var parts = [];


    if(d(task.defer) && !d(task.due))
        throw(new Event('Cannot have a defer date but no due date!'));


    if(d(task.name))    parts.push(task.name);
    if(task.flagged)    parts.push('!')
    if(d(task.context)) parts.push('@'  + task.context);
    if(d(task.project)) parts.push('::' + task.project);
    if(d(task.defer))   parts.push('#'  + task.defer);
    if(d(task.due))     parts.push('#'  + task.due);
    if(d(task.note))    parts.push('//' + task.note);


    task = parts.join(' ');
}

Do folks experienced in the arts of Omnifocus and Automation have a clue for me in what essentially breaks? The error is not helpful.

Thank you in advance!

PS: Humble request: If there was a JS library for all things Omnifocus, it would be rad!

For those interested. I made a bit of progress today – https://github.com/daviddias/github-to-omnifocus/tree/fix
