HTTP 403 and Void Function Errors After Installing in Doom

[vaidyafamily]

I followed the instructions on this website and installed smudge. The relevant portion of my config reads

(setq smudge-oauth2-client-secret "********")
(setq smudge-oauth2-client-id "********")
(map! :map smudge-mode-map "M-p" #'smudge-command-map)

I'm using Doom Emacs, so in my packages.el I also have

(package! smudge)
(package! simple-httpd)

I setup the spotify app in the spotify developer dashboard as instructed. I have also downloaded the spotify app from the AUR, and spotifyd (and enabled it). I have run these at the same time and separately. Without the official spotify client active, or spotifyd activated through systemctl, I get a "No Active Device Error". If I open up the official spotify client and begin playing a song, Emacs detects what song is playing, but if I try to play a different song I get an HTTP 403 error. Same thing happens if I have both the official client and spotifyd running. If I only have spotifyd activated through systemctl I get a "No Active Device" error. I'm not sure how to make this work so that I can play songs from directly within Emacs.

I made sure to install and enable simple-httpd from within Emacs, as the github site mentions using it. These errors persisted.

Also, upon running smudge-controller-player-status I get a Error running timer ‘smudge-controller-player-status’: (void-function smudge-connect-player-status) message. This particular error only began happening upon updating Doom Emacs yesterday, before that smudge-controller-player-status gave no errors (the prior update to Doom Emacs was 6 weeks ago.)

Help would be appreciated.

Tried this in vanilla Emacs, but I'm getting the same issue:

(scroll-bar-mode -1)           
(tool-bar-mode -1)             
(set-fringe-mode 10)           
(menu-bar-mode -1)             
(load-theme 'wombat)

(require 'package)

(setq package-archives '(("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/")
             ("org" . "https://orgmode/elpa/")
             ("elpa" . "https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")))

(package-initialize)
(unless package-archive-contents
  (package-refresh-contents))

(unless (package-installed-p 'use-package)
  (package-install 'use-package))

(require 'use-package)
(setq use-package-always-ensure t)

(use-package smudge)
(use-package simple-httpd)

(setq smudge-oauth2-client-secret "*****")
(setq smudge-oauth2-client-id "*****")

From here I entered global-smudge-remote-mode and tried smudge-controller-toggle-play with the Spotify client playing and got the same 403 error.

Facing the same issue. The error message is not helpful :(

Same error on doom-emacs. Got error: (error http 403

I also experience the same problem

Upon debugging, I found that the error occur at this line

Reason: The function smudge-connect-player-status doesn't exist in smudge-controller.el but it does exist in smudge-connect.el

This 403 error doesn't happen in my setup. If anyone has any suggestion on how to fix this, I'm willing to test the change and release a new version.

My config is like this:

(use-package smudge
  :ensure t
  :config (progn
            (setq smudge-oauth2-client-secret "xxx")
            (setq smudge-oauth2-client-id "xxx")
            (define-key smudge-mode-map (kbd "M-p") 'smudge-command-map)
            (global-smudge-remote-mode)))

One thing you might try is deleting the .emacs.d/.cache/smudge directory and run the auth flow again. If your token is old, it might not have some of the newly added scopes this plugin needs.

[matheusfillipe]

Are you guys with the 403 error sure that you have a spotify premium account? I have just realized that I didn't after having this same type of problem on another spottily controller app with similar functionality.

[danielfm]

I'm using Doom and have no 403 errors while using smudge, so I'm closing this.
