Auth on a R Server

[DavidGarciaEstaun]

What goes wrong

Hi Mark,

I need to auth on a R Server using an auto-authentication auth. I am following the help of scr_auth function. I set up the service account json path with the SC_AUTH_FILE variable via the Sys.setenv() function but I am receiving this error:

Error: Not authenticated. Run scr_auth()

In other of your librarys like googleCloudStorageR you can set the service account json_file setting a parameter "json_file" on the auth function. Ex: gcs_auth(json_file="/zzzz/ddfdd/ggg.json"). What can I do to auth in searchConsoleR?

Thanks for your help. :)

Expected output

A normal auth

Actual output

Error: Not authenticated. Run scr_auth()

You can do the same, but a bit more manually by using googleAuthR::gar_auth_service() - then add the service email as a user to Search Console.

I have added the service account json file as a parameter of the function and works perfectly. Thank you so much Mark! :)
