Error in setting up client library #19

bhavyahdas commented 8 years ago

I was trying to setup API access. I followed steps mentioned in https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/first-api-call website. Chose perl as my language. While setting up client library,I am getting below error ( I followed steps https://github.com/googleads/googleads-perl-lib/wiki/API-access-using-own-credentials-(installed-application-flow) )

Execution command:

$ perl generate_offline_credentials.pl

Error: Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at ../../lib/Google/Ads/Common/HTTPTransport.pm line 32. ERROR: Missing input values for oAuth2ClientId or oAuth2ClientSecret in your adwords.properties file. These values can be generated from the Google Developers Console https://console.developers.google.com under the Projects tab. at generate_offline_credentials.pl line 39.

I had placed adwords.properties file under home directory, and edited oAuth2ClientId, oAuth2ClientSecret variables in it.

Could you please help me in finding what went wrong?

Greetings!

Thanks for providing all the steps that you went through. Based on your prompt, it looks like your system is Linux based.

It sounds like you already did an ls ~ to make sure that your adwords.properties file is there. Can you also verify that you don't have a # sign commenting out the OAuth2ClientId and the oAuth2ClientSecret? Also, please verify that you don't have any spaces on either side of the equals sign. It should look similar to the following with the insert values filled in.

oAuth2ClientId=insertClientIdHere oAuth2ClientSecret=insertClientSecretHere

If you find that you're still experiencing difficulties, please get back to me.
