gapi.client.init promise fails silently

Possible duplicate here.

importing gapi as object using this script

import {
    gapi
} from 'gapi-script';
import oauth2Keys from './oauthKeys.json';
const APIKEYS = oauth2Keys.web;
const DISCOVERY_DOCS = ['https://www.googleapis.com/discovery/v1/apis/youtube/v3/rest'];
const SCOPES = ["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.readonly", "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube"];

//im building a vuejs3 application
mounted() {
    gapi.load('client:auth2', this.initClient);
},
    data() {
        return {
            GOOGLEAUTH: null
        }
    },
    methods: {
        initClient() {
            var self = this;
            console.log("initialising client...");
            gapi.client.init({
                discoveryDocs: DISCOVERY_DOCS,
                clientId: APIKEYS.client_id,
                scope: SCOPES
            }).then(function () {
                console.log(self);
                //listen for sign-in state changes
                self.GOOGLEAUTH = gapi.auth2.getAuthInstance();

                console.log("googleauth is....");
                console.log(self.GOOGLEAUTH);

                self.GOOGLEAUTH.isSignedIn.listen(self.updateSigninStatus);
                // Handle initial sign-in state. (Determine if user is already signed in.)
                self.updateSigninStatus(self.GOOGLEAUTH.currentUser.get());
            });
        }
}

Console logs in the promise callbacks not running. this.GOOGLEAUTH returning undefined in subsequent code. If I remove the clientid and scope params, the console logs run but this.GOOGLEAUTH still returning undefined.

Thanks for the issue report. We do not support using the linked module to load GAPI since it is a snapshot of the GAPI loading code which appears to be at least 8 months old at this point which results in loading old versions of the libraries. Please use officially documented methods of loading the libraries and try your use case again(samples: https://github.com/google/google-api-javascript-client/blob/master/docs/samples.md)
