Cannot authenticate "Something went wrong" #272

Closed Deleetdk closed 1 year ago

Deleetdk commented 1 year ago

I reinstalled to Mint 21 (Ubuntu 22.04 based) from Mint 19.3 (Ubuntu 20.04 based), and I can no longer use googlesheets4 due to authentication problem. It opens the browser as normal, but when clicking, Google just says "something went wrong". I've tried a few times without luck.

something went wrong

library(googlesheets4)
gs4_auth("youremail@gmail.com")

The video shows the process though nothing unusual happens.

I am deeply skeptical that this is something within the purview of googlesheets4. It's more likely to be a Google problem (they were having server issues) or a local config problem. If I google sign in with google "something went wrong", there are lots of hits and my suggestion is to read / work through some of those.

I tried cleaning cookies and site data. Didn't work. However, I tried in Chrome instead of Firefox, and it worked. So it is something with Firefox or some extension.
