Export fails with "Export all" option

@darekkay
Thanks for all your help! I'm on Ubuntu 22.04, so default node JS version is 12.<something>. Once I upgraded using NVM all is now working.

In case it helps anyone else here are full steps to get latest todoist-export working on Ubuntu 22.04:

# Ubuntu 22.04 only - install a more recent version of Node JS as todoist-export needs Node 14.0 or newer
# Install Node Version Manager https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.2/install.sh | bash
nvm install node
# Exit terminal with ctrl+d, open a new terminal (or tab in Konsole)

git clone https://github.com/darekkay/todoist-export.git
cd todoist-export/
cp src/config.js.example src/config.js
vim src/config.js  # Follow the steps in README.md to create new integration in Todoist account, and setup todoist-export to do OAuth
node -v # This should be newer than version 14
npm install
npm start

@tkedwards Please don't post your code or token - this is sufficient for anyone to access all your Todoist data. I've edited your post, but it can be still viewed in the history. I highly suggest that you revoke this access token to prevent further access.

With that said, I did use your token with the latest version of this project to debug the issue and I was able to download your data (I've immediately deleted it without opening). However, I was able to reproduce the issue when selecting the "Export all" checkbox. This issue exists for a few weeks/months now, but I haven't come around looking into it, yet.

Oops! I've deleted that app with that client ID and secret now from https://developer.todoist.com/appconsole.html

I've tried the same steps as before, including creating a new app at https://developer.todoist.com/appconsole.html:

git clone https://github.com/darekkay/todoist-export.git
cd todoist-export/
cp src/config.js.example src/config.js
vim src/config.js  # created new application, added the client ID and client secret
npm install
npm start

But now I get a different error:

$ npm start

> node src/index.js

Looks like an issue with optional chaining. Which Node version do you have? Optional chaining is supported since Node 14, anything below Node 14 is officially not supported anymore.

FYI, there was yet another issue when exporting huge amount of data. After ~35.000 tasks, Todoist returned 'Unknown error. If it keeps happening, please get in touch with Todoist Support.'.

As a workaround, the export will now return all the data it received before the API returns an error. So it might be missing tasks, but at least it will not fail anymore.

I'll close the ticket. If you still encounter any issues (with Node 14+), please add a comment and I'll reopen it.
