Trouble syncing Kobo Glo to Calibre

Sensahat · 11-20-2013, 08:02 AM

Hello Guys

I've been having this issue for more than a month now and have no idea how to fix it.
When I connect my Glo to Calibre and try to add books here's what appears:

calibre, version 0.9.43
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

'int' object has no attribute 'strip'

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 85, in run
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 506, in _sync_booklists
File "site-packages\calibre\devices\kobo\driver.py", line 888, in sync_booklists
File "site-packages\calibre\devices\kobo\driver.py", line 2115, in update_device_database_collections
File "site-packages\calibre\devices\kobo\books.py", line 208, in get_collections
AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'strip'

I've tried resetting the factory settings, the new versions... It didn't work.
I would be eternally grateful if one of you could help me.
And while I'm at it how do I create shelves with the ratings registered on Calibre ?

Your devoted,
Sensa

Calibre is now at 1.11

A lot has happened since 9.43 (aug 2013)

Kobo drivers have been refreshed to stay current with device (and firmware) updates.

My first reaction was the same as theducks: upgrade calibre. But, as I haven't touched that area of the code for a while, I had a look and couldn't think of how you could ever get that error there. But, then I noticed the mention of the ratings column.

The error happens when the column used for the shelves is a number. It will be a fairly easy fix, but could you raise a bug? That way I won't forget.

I had time to look at this and the solution was simple. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/calibre/+bug/1253637.

Calibre is not bug free

but the Exterminator is very aggressive.

(Many PI issues also get aggressive version response)

Thus posting a bug (complaint) without being current is a possible wastes of all our times.
Updates should be tried before posting (or an explanation on why an update can't be applied).

In this case, you found a long standing problem (I think Kovid found one once that had lurked for almost 2 years ) . They happen. What is (Calibre) amazing to me, is how fast and hard, they are stomped upon

Thanks for your stomping
