Task Warrior extension for evolution

This holds an evolution extension that allows adding E-Mails as tasks for TaskWarrior. It doesn't do anything fancy (yet) and it probably is not completely error-save to use in some edge-cases.

I basically created this to serve my personal purpose of adding E-Mails to my task list. If it is useful to others, I'm happy :-)

This plugin is based on the Example Module stripped all unneeded code. There might be some unneeded code being left around.

Requirements

• This plugin requires the task executable to be present and executable.
• Requires evolution >= 3.36.0

Note: If evolution is installed on ubuntu using apt, you probably need to install the development header package evolution-dev, as well.

Installation

For evolution >= 3.40.0:

git clone https://github.com/fmauch/evolution-taskwarrior.git
cd evolution-taskwarrior
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/.local/share/evolution/modules \
           -DFORCE_INSTALL_PREFIX=ON ..
make && make install

For evolution < 3.40.0:

git clone https://github.com/fmauch/evolution-taskwarrior.git
cd evolution-taskwarrior
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" ..
make && sudo make install

After installation, you should have an entry in the context menu when right-clicking on an E-Mail saying "To Task Warrior" and a toolbar entry saying "Create TaskWarrior task".

Troubleshooting

This extension doesn't have any meaningful error handling or feedback (yet). If you start evolution from the shell, you'll see the output similar like

Executing: task add +email "This is my mail subject (From: <[email protected]>)"
Created task 87.
