Installation

git clone https://github.com/mawkler/maconomy-cli
cargo install --path maconomy-cli/

Here's more information on how to install cargo (Rust's build-tool).

Dependencies

• Chromium or Google Chrome (used in the current authentication implementation)

Configuration

Configuration is done in the file ~/.config/maconomy-cli/config.toml. Here's what the config file should look like. All fields except cookie_path are required:

# ~/.config/maconomy-cli/config.toml
maconomy_url = "<URL to company's Maconomy API>"
company_id = "<company ID>"

[authentication.sso]
login_url = "<URL to your company's SSO login web page for Maconomy>"
cookie_path = "<path to where auth cookie should be stored>" # Optional, defaults to ~/.local/share/maconomy-cli/maconomy_cookie

Known issues

"Request failed with status 401 Unauthorized"

Sometimes maconomy-cli is unable reauthenticate after your session has expired. maconomy-cli currently authenticates you by opening a browser window, letting you sign in with single-sign on, and then stores your session cookie. It seems like it sometimes it fetches the incorrect authentication cookie. I'll try to fix this, but the optimal solution is to switch to a proper PKCE authentication flow, or similar. However, Maconomy seem to be using some custom authentication on top of SSO that I couldn't get working. That's why I went with the jankier web-browser-cookie-snatching solution.

As a workaround, try logging out with maconomy logout and then re-running your previous command.

Development

To compile and run:

cargo run

# To pass arguments to maconomy-cli you can use `--`:
cargo run -- set --job '<job name>' --task '<task name>' 8

To run tests:

cargo test
