Fix Google APIs (Gmail, Drive, Calendar) - Permanent Solution

Problem

Python scripts for Gmail/Drive/Calendar fail with ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'google'

Container is missing Google API libraries.

Root Cause

Docker image doesn't include Python Google API dependencies.

Permanent Fix (Run on Host)

cd /path/to/openclaw/repo

export OPENCLAW_DOCKER_APT_PACKAGES="python3-pip python3-venv python3-google-auth python3-googleapi python3-google-auth-httplib2 python3-google-auth-oauthlib ffmpeg"

./docker-setup.sh

This will:

1. Rebuild the OpenClaw image with Google API libs baked in
2. Restart the gateway
3. All Python Google integrations work permanently

What This Fixes

• ✅ Gmail fetch (tools/gmail-fetch.py)
• ✅ Google Drive search (tools/gdrive-search.py)
• ✅ Calendar automation
• ✅ Morning briefing email triage
• ✅ All future Google API scripts

Why This Approach

• Permanent: Survives container restarts/recreations
• Repeatable: Documented in image build
• No tech debt: System packages, not workspace hacks
• Foundation: Built properly from the start

After Fix

Test with:

docker compose exec openclaw-gateway python3 -c "import google.oauth2.credentials; print('✅ Google libs available')"

Then search Drive for case color meeting notes:

docker compose exec openclaw-gateway python3 /home/node/.openclaw/workspace/tools/gdrive-search.py "case color" --after 2025-07-01 --before 2025-12-31

Status: Ready to execute
Time to fix: ~5 min (rebuild + restart)
Refactoring cost if we skip this: Hours of debugging every time container restarts
