google docs get --format=csv <src-file> <dest-file> downloads as xls not csv. it worked fine until Feb 18, 2015 #572
Description
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I checked my .config/googlecl/config and format = csv, so that setting is
good
2. I tried a few converters but the time stamp in the spreadsheet became
corrupt
3. I shouldn't need to convert xls to csv. This --format=csv worked good until
Feb 18
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The command I have in my script is: google docs get --format=csv <src-file>
<dest-file>
But the download is an xls file and should be a csv file as requested
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? What
version of gdata-python-client (aka python-gdata)?
Red Hat 6.0 64-bit, googlecl-0.9.14, python-ldap-2.3.10-1.el6(x86_64),
python-libs-2.6.6-51(x86_64),
python2.6/site-packages/gdata-2.0.18-py2.6.egg/gdata
Please provide any additional information below.
Again, this started happening Feb 18, 2015 and worked great prior. Manually
downloading the file as a csv in google docs still works good. Its the command
line that now downloads the attached non-csv file. I need a csv file to parse
the data correctly. Here's the output (verbose):
[riverice@phi-lw-riverice riverice]$ google docs get --format=csv --verbose
"Ice Report" googledoc_iceobservations
