How can I get Google drive API to authenticate?-CodePudding

I am struggling a lot to get my authentication to work for Google drive api.

This is my current code.

const drive = google.drive({
        version: 'v3',
        auth: new google.auth.GoogleAuth({
            keyFile: 'google-cloud-credentials.json',
            scopes: ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file'],
        }),
    });

No matter what I try, I get the error "ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/var/task/google-cloud-credentials.json'"

I've also tried the following:

keyFile: path.resolve(__dirname, 'google-cloud-credentials.json'),

keyFile: './google-cloud-credentials.json',

keyFile: '../google-cloud-credentials.json',

keyFile: '../../google-cloud-credentials.json',

I should mention that I'm also deploying with with Serverless but in the past I've been able to get this to work.

So I found in the type definition for GoogleAuth that you can simply use credentials which takes the body of the credentials rather than keyFile which takes the path.

After that I just simply had to import JSON into my file and add it there.

that's not how you Auth. that's just creating google Auth object. you must fill it with credentials or it will do nothing.

maybe read the readme again. there's a standard implementation of oauth there. also feel free to ask a follow up
