pyonenote not working from the command line

[Coniferish]

I installed pyonenote via pip install pyonenote and tried running pyonenote -f example-docs/QuickNotes.one and got the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File ".../pyonenote", line 8, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
             ^^^^^^
  File ".../site-packages/pyOneNote/Main.py", line 97, in main
    sys.exit("File: %s doesn't exist", args.file)
TypeError: exit expected at most 1 argument, got 2

I also tried cloning the repo, changing the sys.exit line to and f-string, but still got an error:

Can you share the sample? or if it is on VirusTotal, share the SHA256? Without having the sample it is very hard to debug. Most probably the .one file contains a structure that is not supported by pyOneNote... Did you test with another .one document?

[Coniferish]

I'm getting a message saying the file type (.one) isn't supported when I try to add it here.
And no, I didn't try with another file since I created this file for testing.

@DissectMalware, how can I send the file to you?

@DissectMalware Hello, thank you for this tool. I got the same error: 'ValueError: cannot fit 'int' into an offset-sized integer' for a different sample, that can be obtained from VT (sha256: f770bf655720539c6171e77758383744be087b480a3f70256cc5043c489e529e). Hope this helps.

I got the same error. Here is a zipped example file to trigger this: Schnelle Notizen.one.zip

I copy/paste the file on my computer and I don't have any problem (your file size is much larger than my copy). I am trying to understand this library to fork it (no news of owner), you can contact me at kavinesteves@gmail.com if you are interested to this

@Kev744 at the moment I am swamped with my other responsibilities but try to help if something is blocking you from contributing...

I copy/paste the file on my computer and I don't have any problem (your file size is much larger than my copy).

It might be caused by a different python version (or different module version). I'm using Python 3.11.8.

No problem before the responsabilities. Thanks, How can I contact you ?

It might be caused by a different python version (or different module version). I'm using Python 3.11.8.

I am using Python 3.9.12 and module 0.0.2, but the main source doesn't probably come from the Python and module because when I use your file (it doesn't work also), I need to copy/paste the file with OneNote (Move or Copy) in order to work, maybe OneNote version, what version you use for comparing with mine ? I am using Microsoft® OneNote® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2402)

[marph91]

what version you use for comparing with mine ?

I use the web version at https://www.onenote.com/notebooks (couldn't find a specific version there). I don't use it actively yet. Just trying out the functions and seeing what tools around are available.

Check it : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/office_file_formats/ms-onestore/93a9831c-553f-4547-9d44-b8d6f879aaaa#Appendix_A_11

The code should to be updated for OneNote Online unfortunately...

[marph91]

Thanks for looking into it! Just for understanding: Is it

<9> Section 2.7.2: Microsoft OneNote Online generates an Extended GUID not following this algorithm

?

Yes it is.

[marph91]

Actually it's not just the different GUID, but for exports from OneNote Online there is at least one more layer that needs to be decoded. I. e. FSSHTTP. I managed to write a parser for this layer (at least for my test files), but I stopped, because it takes too much time.

The only alternative for parsing OneNote Online files seems to be https://github.com/msiemens/onenote.rs. I didn't try it yet, though.
