node generate_token_v2 error

[Crimson0087]

Hello,

I am a computer coding novice…as in I do not know what ANY of this means and am just following tutorials. I am currently at the step on my raspberry pi where I have added the credentials.json to the MMM-GooglePhotos file and have typed

node generate_token_v2.js

This is the error I get

(node:4639) [DEP0040] DeprecationWarning: The punycode module is deprecated. Please use a userland alternative instead.
(Use node --trace-deprecation ... to show where the warning was created)

can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

@Crimson0087 I had a similar issue after mine decided to break the API connection after a week. I have posted on the repo issue pages what I was able to do to fix your exact problem. Go figure you were attempting at the exact same time I was troubleshooting it. https://github.com/hermanho/MMM-GooglePhotos/issues/191

@Crimson0087 nothing you can do anything about.

@sdetweil

Does that mean I cannot use the Google photos with magic mirror?

[sdetweil]

@Crimson0087 no, just ignore that message

@sdetweil

That’s a hard stop…it doesn’t perform the action. According to tutorial when I type node generate_tokenv2 it should open a new window for me to log in to Google account and that doesn’t happen… nothing happens

[sdetweil]

@Crimson0087 you ARE doing this ON the system console of the MagicMirror system, right… not over ssh or (maybe vnc, don’t use)

[Crimson0087]

@sdetweil yes

[sdetweil]

@Crimson0087 and you did put the downloaded creendtial json file in this folder with the name ‘credentials.json’

[Crimson0087]

@sdetweil

Yes I did.

@Crimson0087 ok, that has exhausted my experience here
