Bug Description

I'm working on reminder app and on PC (didn't test on phone yet) displayName is an empty string, but all others strings work well (e.g. providerName, serviceName).

The code is here https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~reminders-app-dev/reminders-app/trunk/view/head:/src/app/qml/ui/AccountSelectorPage.qml

How did you create the account? If you did so from the unity7 system settings, then the problem is that the account display name is really empty (just reopen Online Accounts from System Settings, and check if it shows a display name there).

Yes, I did that from Unity7

Moving the bug to the gnome-control-center-signon project, which is the one used to create accounts in Unity 7.
However, I'm also closing the bug, because -- being a gtk project -- we won't add the ability to run the QML files provided by the account plugins, which is the code to get the display name.

A possibile fix for this bug is having the evernote account plugin ship a configuration file for signon-ui, containing CSS3 selectors to extract the username from the web page.
Look at /etc/signon-ui/webkit-options.d/ for examples.
