Oauth2 doesn't finish the authorization #91

Closed eburkland closed 1 year ago

So I'm running your simple send an email message example. When I test it provides a URL which I open in a browser. It goes through the "This app isn't verified" prompts. Then I just get in return something like this http://localhost:8080/?code=4/0AVHEtk6kb1g9-ONG_fpT3bLDw3iYslEJO-KY9h_39po8OF8reXlmkCQn_EfPe7M4nNV64g&scope=https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.settings.basic%20https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.modify
with a blank screen

It just seems that the authorization code isn't making it's way back. I know there is this --noauth_local_webserver business but I couldn't for the life of me make that work either I appreciate your help

This sounds like it's more likely an issue with the setup of the app on the google cloud console rather than something related to the library. I haven't encountered this failure mode before. Typically when you get to the URL you posted, you should see something like "The authentication flow has completed" (or potentially a custom page/redirect can be set up in the application), and the application should continue following the Gmail() construction.

Thank you for the reply. As a test I changed gmail.py line 70 noauth_local_webserver: bool = False to True. I then received a screen which had me copy an authorization code. The program then prompted for the authorization code. I agree that something in the setup isn't correct. Maybe the callback URL. I'll keep plugging away. Again thank you for your time
