Check if you have a client_secret.json file and make sure that name is in

flow = InstalledAppFlow.from_client_secrets_file( 'client_secret.json', SCOPES)

I have same problem. I try to change file name to client_secret.json , but it not work.

[rjpruitt16]

Try renaming it to credentials.json because that's what the code is looking for (yes, some of our other samples use client_secret.json too). When you originally downloaded it from the devconsole, it'll try to save w/a really long name like client_secret_GIANT_HASH.json, so best to just save it directly as the shortened name from there, ensuring it matches the filename expected in the code.
