Thank you for writing and maintaining Garth!

I just wanted to let you know that - unsurprisingly - Garmin does not allow uploading structured workout files to the upload service. It seems to be only intended for Activities.

repro

I created a custom structured workout FIT file, exactly like the cookbook example from the FIT sdk, so a workout for a 10h endurance ride in zone 2, saved as test.FIT.
When I use

with open("test.FIT", "rb") as f:
    uploaded = garth.client.upload(f)

It confronts me with this error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\joskw\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.9_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python39\site-packages\garth\http.py", line 127, in request

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I know there is no way for you to fix this. I just wanted to suggest that it would be helpful for others to mention this limitation in the documentation here: https://github.com/matin/garth#upload

Could you pass me the .fit file to see if I can reproduce the issue?

I have also pushed the repo with which I created the test.FIT file, if you'd like to play with that. (dotnet core sdk required)

This doesn't appear to be a Garth issue.

I just tried to upload the FIT file manually using the following page, and I receive the error below:
https://connect.garmin.com/modern/import-data

Here's what I'm able to read from test.FIT:

{
    'file_id_mesgs': [{
        'type': 'workout',
        'manufacturer': 'development',
        'product': 1,
        'serial_number': 1066405380,
        'time_created': datetime.datetime(2023, 10, 16, 15, 43, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc)
    }],
    'workout_mesgs': [{
        'wkt_name': 'Bike Workout',
        'sport': 'cycling',
        'num_valid_steps': 1

        'message_index': 0,
        'wkt_step_name': 'Endurance Ride',
        'notes': 'Keep your HR in Zone 2 for the entire ride.',
        'intensity': 'active',
        'duration_type': 'time',
        'duration_value': 36000000,
        'target_type': 'heart_rate',

        'duration_time': 36000.0,
        'target_hr_zone': 2
    }]
}

In comparison, here's the contents of the test FIT file I use in the Garth tests:

@Jawz84 is it ok to close this out (as it appears the issue is with the FIT file)?

It's not an issue w/ the FIT file, similar to TP (TrainingPeaks) and possibly some other manufacturer/companies, they do not allow for uploads of (structured) workouts (FIT) files via their web interface. (only via their private APIs that is not exposed via the web)

eg: TP, if you try to upload a structured workout FIT file via their web-interface, it will give you an error. But if works when it is pushed by company X -> TP

Garmin is the same thing. However, with Garmin, the workaround is to manually upload it to the headunit via /NEWFILES directory.

Edit:
There are couple types of FIT files, the 2 major ones are

  1. Completed Activity Workout Files (FIT) - these are the ones which gets generated by your Garmin HeadUnit or some app which records your completed activity (like a bike ride, a yoga workout)
  2. Structured Workout Files (FIT) - These are generated by an app/user that will instruct things like "do 10m at 180w, then rest for 5min at 100w"

@app4g What are you basing this on?

Here are three examples of uploading FIT files using Garth or a direct translation of it:

  1. I upload a yoga workout in the tests. You can see the VCR cassette, which includes the successful response after activity creation.
  2. withings-sync syncs FIT files between Withings and Garmin.
  3. peloton-to-garmin implements Garth in C# to upload FIT files from Peloton to Garmin.

@matin I missed out the word "structured" in my first statement which you quoted. This was not missed in my subsequent example which I've quoted above.

I have amended my original post to further clarify and reflect that we are talking about Structured Workout FIT as opposed to Completed Workout Activity Files (also FIT) files per this current Thread.

@app4g Oh! I get the difference now. Thank you for clarifying!

I'll make the clarification in the README.

@Jawz84 thanks for reporting this! I'm not that familiar with FIT files, so this was a great way to learn more.

I'll leave the issue open—until the README is updated.
