Closes #419. Closes #461.

Summary

Add --conference flag to gws calendar +insert that auto-creates a Google Meet video conference link on the event
Uses the Calendar API's conferenceData.createRequest with conferenceSolutionKey.type = "hangoutsMeet" and conferenceDataVersion=1

Usage

gws calendar +insert --summary 'Team Sync' \
  --start '2026-06-17T09:00:00-07:00' \
  --end '2026-06-17T09:30:00-07:00' \
  --conference

Changes

Add --conference flag (boolean) to +insert command definition
build_insert_request(): when flag is set, inject conferenceData.createRequest with hangoutsMeet type and unique requestId
Set conferenceDataVersion=1 query parameter to activate conference processing
Update help text with --conference example
Add test_build_insert_request_with_conference and test_build_insert_request_without_conference

Test plan

cargo test — 586 passed, 0 failed

Summary of Changes

Hello, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request enhances the gws calendar +insert command by providing a convenient way to integrate Google Meet conferences directly into newly created events. This change streamlines the process of scheduling virtual meetings, eliminating the need for manual setup of conference links and improving the utility of the calendar management tool.

Highlights

New Feature: Introduced a --conference flag to the gws calendar +insert command, allowing users to automatically create Google Meet video conference links for new calendar events.
API Integration: Implemented the use of the Google Calendar API's conferenceData.createRequest with conferenceSolutionKey.type = "hangoutsMeet" and set conferenceDataVersion=1 to enable conference processing.
User Experience: Updated the command-line help text and examples to reflect the new --conference flag, guiding users on its usage.
Testing: Added new unit tests (test_build_insert_request_with_conference and test_build_insert_request_without_conference) to ensure the correct behavior of conference data generation based on the flag.

Changelog

src/helpers/calendar.rs
- Added the --conference argument definition to the +insert subcommand.
- Modified the build_insert_request function to detect the --conference flag.
- Implemented logic within build_insert_request to construct the conferenceData JSON payload with a unique requestId and hangoutsMeet type when the --conference flag is present.
- Set the conferenceDataVersion=1 parameter in the API request when a conference is requested.
- Updated the after_help text for the +insert command to include an example and tip for the new --conference flag.
- Added test_build_insert_request_with_conference to verify correct conference data generation.
- Added test_build_insert_request_without_conference to confirm no conference data is generated when the flag is absent.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a --conference flag to the gws calendar +insert command, which automatically adds a Google Meet link to the created event. The implementation correctly modifies the +insert command definition, updates the build_insert_request function to construct the necessary conferenceData in the request body, and adds the conferenceDataVersion=1 query parameter as required by the Google Calendar API. The changes are well-tested with new unit tests covering both cases where the flag is present and absent. The code is clean, follows existing patterns, and the help text is updated appropriately. I have not found any issues of high or critical severity.

Ready for review — all tests passing, Gemini feedback addressed. @jpoehnelt

Closes googleworkspace#419. Closes googleworkspace#461. Add --conference flag to `gws calendar +insert` that attaches a Google Meet video conference link to the newly created event. Implementation: - Add conferenceData.createRequest with type "hangoutsMeet" to the event body when --conference is set - Set conferenceDataVersion=1 query parameter so the Calendar API processes the conference creation request - Generate a unique requestId (gws-<random hex>) for idempotency Add tests for both --conference and no-conference paths.

Code Review

This pull request adds a --conference flag to the gws calendar +insert command to automatically create a Google Meet link for a new event. The implementation correctly updates the command-line argument parsing, modifies the request building logic to include conferenceData in the body and conferenceDataVersion=1 in the parameters when the flag is present, and adds corresponding unit tests. The changes appear correct and are well-contained. I have not found any high or critical severity issues in this pull request.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a --conference flag to the gws calendar +insert command, allowing for the automatic creation of a Google Meet link for new events. The implementation correctly modifies the command-line arguments, constructs the necessary API request body and parameters, and includes comprehensive tests for both the positive and negative cases.

My review includes one suggestion to enhance the uniqueness of the conference requestId by using the uuid crate instead of rand::random(), which is a more robust and standard practice for this purpose.

gemini-code-assist · 2026-03-13T20:33:49Z

src/helpers/calendar.rs


+    if conference {
+        // Generate a unique requestId for the conference creation
+        let request_id = format!("gws-{:016x}", rand::random::<u64>());


For improved robustness in generating a unique requestId, consider using the uuid crate. It's the standard for generating unique identifiers in Rust and provides stronger uniqueness guarantees than a random u64, virtually eliminating the chance of collisions, which could otherwise lead to failed event creations.

If the uuid crate is available as a dependency (with the v4 feature), you could update the requestId generation as follows to keep the gws- prefix and pass the existing tests:

Suggested change

let request_id = format!("gws-{:016x}", rand::random::<u64>());

let request_id = format!("gws-{}", uuid::Uuid::new_v4());

uuid would be more robust but it adds a new dependency for something that only needs to be unique per-request. the random u64 with gws- prefix is the same pattern google's own calendar clients use. happy to switch if maintainer prefers though
