Message: [AuthenticationError.OAUTH_TOKEN_HEADER_INVALID @ ; trigger:'<null>'] when using refresh token about google-api-ads-ruby HOT 10 CLOSED

I worked around this by providing an expires_at value in my config.

The problem is that if the OAuth2 client doesn't have that value it's never going to be considered expired and the access token won't be generated.

@dklimkin are you still working on issue #27 to add a library method to enforce the refresh. If not, i would like to make a pull request if it's possible.

from google-api-ads-ruby.

@mcloonan is currently maintaining the library. You are very welcome to send a pull request, please see:

@dklimkin @mcloonan thank you, I will send a PR ASAP.

I found the same error on running https://github.com/googleads/google-api-ads-ruby/blob/master/adwords_api/examples/v201506/misc/use_runtime_config.rb with refresh token.
Any update on this issue?

from google-api-ads-ruby.

Thank you for the report, and I apologize that this slipped through the cracks. Since it seems @huydx may not be providing the pull request, I'll take a look at implementing a solution myself.

@offthecuff Could you please be more specific? What is the exact place where did you provide expires_at?

from google-api-ads-ruby.

@Gataniel, It goes in the oauth2_token subsection of the authentication hash. Piggybacking off the example from @huydx , this is what i have:

adwords = AdwordsApi::Api.new({
    :authentication => {
      :method => 'OAuth2',
      :oauth2_client_id => client_id,
      :oauth2_client_secret => client_secret,
      :developer_token => developer_token,
      :client_customer_id => client_customer_id
      :user_agent => user_agent,
      :oauth2_token => {
        :refresh_token => refresh_token,
        :expires_at => 0
      }
    },
    :service => {
      :environment => 'PRODUCTION'
    }
  })

from google-api-ads-ruby.

This is the issue in a nutshell.

This method will return false if expires_at is nil.

def expired?
  return self.expires_at != nil && Time.now >= self.expires_at
end

At this point the client is not nil, but it will not be expired either so no token is created.

def get_token(credentials = nil)
  token = super(credentials)
  token = refresh_token! if !@client.nil? && @client.expired?
  return token
end

To me this honestly seems like a deficiency in the signet gem, but I suppose this might be the intended behavior.

from google-api-ads-ruby.

Since there's a workaround and the issue seems to be with Signet, I'm going to close this out. It might be worth filing a bug with Signet directly if this is still an issue for you.
