Problem Running node authorize.js

[raspberrypi9]

I generated an Oauth client ID in the Google interface and placed it in the file credentials.json in the MMM-GoogleCalendar directory. When I run: node authorize.js, it says:

MMM-GoogleCalendar: Error loading credentials Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/mjw/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GoogleCalendar/token.json'

I tried cp credentials.json token.json but I got:

MMM-GoogleCalendar: Error loading credentials Error: The incoming JSON object does not contain a client_email field

I'm not sure what else to try now. If you would please offer some help, I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

can you edit the credentials.json

it is missing a field
The incoming JSON object does not contain a client_email field

did you provide all the info, and select the right type of credentials?

I did download the credentials but it doesn't have a client_email field. Should it?
I tried hand editing it to add one but that didn't work
I am doing OAuth client ID
Also, I put the credentials file as credentials.json in the MMM-Google Calendar dir but it was looking for a token.js

We are currently using Node.js version 22.9.0 in our project, and we are encountering a deprecation warning related to the Punycode module alongside the MMM-GoogleCalendar: Error loading credentials Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GoogleCalendar/token.json'.

Could you please provide guidance on how to resolve or address this issue? Should we replace the Punycode module with an alternative, or are there any specific updates or configurations we should apply to avoid this warning?

Looking forward to your advice.

Thank you.

The no such file or directory error log is a red herring due to poor error handling.

What is likely happening is that the local-auth library is trying to open your default browser unsuccessfully which is what happened to me. As a band-aid fix, I edited node_modules/@google-cloud/local-auth/build/src/index.js and added console.log("URL: " + authorizeUrl) after this block of code:

            // open the browser to the authorize url to start the workflow
            const authorizeUrl = client.generateAuthUrl({
                redirect_uri: redirectUri.toString(),
                access_type: 'offline',
                scope: scopes.join(' '),
            });

and then you can copy the link that prints in the console next time you run it.

Howdy, I am running in to the same issue. I followed the instructions, but on here it says select internal and I did not have that option and selected external with all the same settings. I downloaded the credentials.json and when I run the authorize.js it errors out with what is below. This is a new install as of 2 days ago.

(node:70729) [DEP0040] DeprecationWarning: The punycode module is deprecated. Please use a userland alternative instead.
(Use node --trace-deprecation ... to show where the warning was created)

Then I have to cancel out, it just sits there.

Any help would be appreciated.
