Error: Could not authenticate via any gargle cred function #387

Closed arthurlin-kmd closed 3 years ago

arthurlin-kmd commented 3 years ago

Summary

This is an issue raised on gargle repo, link to the issue - https://github.com/r-lib/gargle/issues/188

What goes wrong

I have attempted to replicate 2. Make your first API call on https://code.markedmondson.me/googleAnalyticsR/articles/setup.html, but have been getting error message Error: Could not authenticate via any gargle cred function

Steps to reproduce the problem

options(googleAuthR.verbose=2)

library(googleAnalyticsR)

ga_auth()

Expected output

I was expecting to see a prompt in the browser for GA API authentication but that never came up.

Actual output

Before you run your code, please run:

options(googleAuthR.verbose=2) and copy-paste the console output here.
Check it doesn't include any sensitive info like auth tokens or accountIds - you can usually just edit those out manually and replace with say XXX

options(googleAuthR.verbose=2)

Hi @MarkEdmondson1234, I have managed to authenticate myself after reinstalling the latest Base R and RStudio.

Thank you so much for your time!

MarkEdmondson1234 commented 3 years ago

Ok! Glad you are up and running.

Hi @MarkEdmondson1234 , I am running into this same issue as well, after switching to a new PC. gar_auth() works fine on my old machine, but returns Error: Could not authenticate via any gargle cred function on my new one.

I'm guessing I'm missing a file or setting somewhere on the new machine, but do you have any other troubleshooting steps I should try before going the full re-install route?

After restarting R and setting options(googleAuthR.verbose=2) and running gar_auth(), I receive the same output as the user above.

I think you probably need to reset your authentication file that its using in the automatic process. What environment arguments do you have set? Try issuing ga_auth(email="your@email.com") to re-generate the OAuth2 token.

ebeery11 commented 3 years ago

Thanks @MarkEdmondson1234 . Issuing the ga_auth(email="your@email.com") with my email returned the same error.

Can you clarify what exactly is meant by "environment arguments" or how I would verify? I cleared my global environment as well but that didn't seem to affect anything.

MarkEdmondson1234 commented 3 years ago

Environment arguments refer to checking if you have an .Renviron file in your R home directory or project folder that are setting up R variables, but I guess if you don't know about it you have not.

The authentication menu is not appearing for some reasons, could you restart R, try again and give your session info by using sessionInfo()? This is mine below - if you have anything out of date please update it.

I did find a gargle-oauth folder/file on my old machine, which I don't see anywhere on my new one. Is that the authentication file you're referring to that may need reset?

MarkEdmondson1234 commented 3 years ago

It's odd sorry I don't see a reason why it doesn't work for you. I suggest going through the steps to add your own clientId since that will refresh your token. That involves setting up a GCP project and using ga_auth_setup() - if that also errors please open a new issue.
