IDONTIME bot
This script facilitates the filling in of time sheets using the IDONTIME system.
By default, the script will generate a pair of IN and OUT entries for the current day, with entry at 9am, and exit at 6pm.
The script requires a ruby installation (written using Ruby 2.7.2).
The dependencies can be installed with help of the bundler gem (gem install bundler), and then using the command bundle install in the project directory.
If the macOS gatekeeper doesn't want to launch the chrome webdriver, the following command can be used to circumvent the problem:
$ xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /usr/local/bin/chromedriver (adjust the path if installed in another location).
To install ruby versions, I like using the rbenv tool.
Holidays Configuration
To avoid errors while filling the time sheet in bulk, you should create a new file my_holidays.txt under the folder idontime-bot. You can then update this file with your personal holidays. To do do so, place one day per line with the following format: day-month-year (example: 20-05-2021). The bot will discard these dates if you try to fill the time sheet with them.
Usage
$ ./idontime [arguments...]
The following command line arguments can be used:
-h or --headless
If present, will run the script without a Chrome GUI (i.e. headless).
-i hh:mm or --in hh:mm
If present, will set the time of entry. If not present, will use the default time specified in the idontime.yaml preference file.
-o hh:mm or --out hh:mm
If present, will set the time of exit. If not present, will use the default time specified in the idontime.yaml preference file.
-d dd-mm-yyyy or --date dd-mm-yyyy
If present, will set the initial date of the records. If not present, will use today's date.
-f dd-mm-yyyy or --final dd-mm-yyyy
If present, will set the final of the records. If not present, will use today's date.
If the dates from -d and -f are different, will iterate through all weekdays in between and record them. If both are empty, then just set the marks for the current day.
-u [USERNAME] or --user [USERNAME]
Will set the username to [USERNAME].
-p [PASSWORD] or --password [PASSWORD]
Will set the password to [PASSWORD].
Example
$ ./idontime -i 08:00 --out 17:00 --date 18-01-2021 --headless -u user@test.com -p TheUltraSecretPassword
Will run the script in headless mode, and create a set of entries for the date 18-01-2021, starting at 8am, ending at 5pm.
$ ./idontime -i 08:00 --out 17:00 --date 10-01-2021 --final 16-01-2021 --headless
Will run the script in headless mode, and create a set of entries for the weekdays between 10-01-2021 and 16-01-2021 (11-01-2021 to 15-01-2021), starting at 8am, ending at 5pm.
The username and password will be fetched from environment variables.
