Error 400: Invalid_Request when trying "npm run token"

hellothere

Bonjour/hello!

I’m reinstalling MMM-GoogleAssistant after doing the latest Magic Mirror update (and my mirror being off for six months or so). I’m having issues with generating the new MMM-GoogleAssistant token.

I run “npm run token” in the MMM-GoogleAssistant folder, and the browser redirects me to Google to get my OAuth code. Google gives me the following error after I have logged in:

Access Blocked: ____'s request is invalid. 
You can't sign in because ____ sent an invalid request. You can try again later, or contact the developer about this issue. Learn more about this error

If you are a developer of ____, see error details

Error 400: invalid_request

When clicking error details:

The out-of-band (OOB) flow has been blocked in order to keep users secure. Follow the Out-of-Band (OOB) flow Migration Guide linked in the developer docs below to migrate your app to an alternative method.

Request details: access_type=offline

redirect_url= ___

Any suggestions for how I can work from here, or manually enter the token? Thanks!

Hi, since February 28, 2022, we have to use new OAuth for creating credentials.json file.
I think you use old format that why Google refuse it

So, Just check this wiki part to be in accord with new OAuth

hellothere

@bugsounet you were right! my credentials were out of date, so that issue is fixed and I see the new little oauth site.

I do have another issue though - the script for “npm run token” is going straight to “done” after I say Y to install/reinstall MMM-GoogleAssistant token, so I can’t enter the code the website generates for me, and I get the “fatal: token assistant: tokenGA.json missing” error. Any suggestions?

hellothere

I also tried npm run update in the MMM-GoogleAssistant directory since that resolved it for another user but it didn’t work for me, unfortunately, as I am up to date.

Hi,

Can you inform me node version used ?

with node -v command
must be node v16.x

Can you try this in MMM-GoogleAssistant directory:

rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json 
npm run update
npm run token

hellothere

@bugsounet sure! I ran node -v and it shows I am running v18.11.0.

hellothere

I tried the 3 lines od code above and still have the “done” issue.

bugsounet

can you past me what happen on npm run token thanks

hellothere

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GoogleAssistant $ npm run token

You try with terminal or over ssh?

hellothere

In the terminal.

bugsounet

and in ssh ?

hellothere

SSH is new to me (this is my first Linux project) so I’ll try to learn it this evening and let you know how it goes!

hellothere

Sorry for the delayed reply, I’m struggling to figure out how to connect via SSH from my Windows computer to my Pi.

I’m going to keep trying and I’ll let you know once I have it figured out!

hellothere

Good news! I figured out how to use SSH from my Windows PC!

Bad news! Unfortunately I get the same result.

Here’s what I see:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GoogleAssistant
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GoogleAssistant $ npm run token

> MMM-GoogleAssistant@4.0.7 token
> installer/token.sh

Hi,
In the question:

Do you want to install/reinstall MMM-GoogleAssistant token? [Y/n] 
Your choice:

I think you type the letter y and [Enter]
Bah … don’t press [Enter] only type y
and it will works

hellothere

Hahaha! That was it! What a funny mistake I made.

Thanks so much for your help, and for giving me an excuse to learn about SSH!
