Youtube authentication failing

[akrishhna]

I am having multiple auths(facebook, twitter..) in my application. I am using omniauth- youtube gem for youtube authentication. Its working fine in few cases and not in few other.

When I am logged in to the application with gmail account and trying to authenticate to youtube(using the same gmail account) it returns to omniauth callback controller failure action with AUTH parameters NULL.

But when I tried to authenticate to youtube with another email id (which is not is users table) it worked fine.

Can't we authenticate to youtube using the email id which is already in Users table. Please let me know what might be the issue.

Omniauth doesn't know about models, if a user is logged-in, or anything about how your app is structured – it just sends back the data it gets from the OAuth provider.

Does this happen with other providers? I'm guessing this is a bug in your application logic

Thanks for the swift response.

No, this does not happen with other providers. I am not sure if there is a bug in my app logic. My call back url is -- match '/users/auth/youtube/callback', :to => 'users/omniauth_callbacks#youtube' . When I try to authenticate to Youtube its not even returning the AUTH params.

Below is my log:

Started GET "/users/auth/youtube/callback?code=4/O4GjfPBGSZ_KEhyMdyoqZ42AH0Aa.AiVqRaZHJLoQuJJVnL49Cc-8R_O0cgI" for 127.0.0.1 at 2012-08-24 16:09:24 -0500 Processing by Users::OmniauthCallbacksController#failure as HTML Parameters: {"code"=>"4/O4GjfPBGSZ_KEhyMdyoqZ42AH0Aa.AiVqRaZHJLoQuJJVnL49Cc-8R_O0cgI"} Origin: --- http://olemiss.lvh.me:3000/ ...

I need to debug and see what might be the issue.

I am using gem 'omniauth-google-oauth2' instead and every thing is working fine. I am thinking this could be something to do with the Youtube strategy class. If I find out anything I will keep you posted.

+1, i want to confirm this issue.

works perfectly with all other providers (fb, vimeo) and works after changing to google-oauth2

just a tip that might save time for others that want to change strategy while keeping it clear it's all about youtube- add the oauth2 gem and in the config add the name param, to seamlessly change the gems: config.omniauth :google_oauth2,KEY,SECRET, { access_type: "offline", approval_prompt: "force", name: "youtube" }

[jamiew]

Could we consider this gem deprecated in favor of the above google_oauth2 configuration?

What's typical policy in this case? Yank the gem?
