MMM-GoogleAssistant and MMM-AssistantMk2 installation issues :(

A Former User

@davidpearl1 Was there any suspicious step in your previous trials?

@Sean Still not working and I still get the 500 error

I have followed all steps and have the credentials and everything

I am using an RPI 3B+ with stretch, could that be an issue?

I have tried creating a new set of credentials and that didn’t work either

The API is enabled - I am just completely lost now :(

@davidpearl1 give me your node version. and can you show me your credentials.json (with changing the private secret strings to something others)
And error messages also.

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-AssistantMk2 $ node -v
v9.11.2

Error message is a google website with error 500 -

"500. That’s an error.

There was an error. Please try again later. That’s all we know."

credentails itself seems to have no problem.
And I think it is not the kind of the problem of API enable/disable.
500 error usually, be occurred when authentication is denied by Google for some reasons. With googling, there seem several cases;

Just hiccup. try later for a while.
Your client_id is contaminated. (I don’t know what it is and why)

Sorry, I can not reproduce your error so I cannot catch what’s wrong.

Davidpearl1

Thats rubbish :(

So I technically cannot use the module at all! is there a way to manually authorise it?

The only thing I can think about is starting again from scratch

does it allow you to get the auto code from Google now? could it be a google side issue?

A Former User

@davidpearl1
I cannot assure anything. Some googling says that could be a temporal problem, but others say your auth might have some problem (but I don’t know what exactly).
I suggest removing your whole google-projects and try again from scratch. The only thing I can suspect is, you had a conflict with your some google-projects and used the other credentials for your different projects. (I think that case would be not also. but I have no idea at all…)

Davidpearl1

I got it to work!!! :D:D:D:D:D

I deleted all other projects and combined it into one, I also deleted all of my devices and started a new one.

My issue now is I haven’t had a ‘Token.json’ file generate in the directory?

A Former User

@davidpearl1
After auth, token.json should be generated in the directory where credentials.json is located. isn’t there?

Davidpearl1

@Sean nope :(
