Unable to authenticate with passport-google-oauth20

[EugeneZ]

I can't seem to get Google OAUTH2 working. I thought it must be me, so I took the feathers-oauth2-authentication project from the feathers-demos repo, which uses GitHub, and ran it. It worked. I replaced the passport-github package with passport-facebook (which is very similar to Google's), replaced the link in index.html, changed github to facebook in the configuration object, and updated the ids. This also worked. I performed the same exact steps but with the passport-google-oauth20 package. It gets as far as Google's page asking me for permission to see my public profile, etc, but when I approve, the callback that it redirects to forwards me to the failure page. Looking at the redirect, it looks like Google did the right thing and forwarded state=true and some sort of token, just like Facebook does. Any ideas?

@EugeneZ have you tried using the generator and letting it build the Google OAuth setup for you?

[EugeneZ]

I did not, but I just went and set it up. All I did was set up a new repo, babel (as per the guide), feathers generate with all defaults except google for auth and memory for db. Added my oauth ids to the config and added a link to /auth/google to index.html. No good, same exact problem... Google asks for password and then forwards to callback, which then forwards to failure.

Ever had that thing where shortly after opening an issue you figure out the problem even though you thought you tried everything before opening it? Yeah. That. Sorry!

For those interested, turns out you have to enable the Google+ API from your API dashboard (I had to also enable the Gmail API, might be the permissions I'm requesting). See here: jaredhanson/passport-google-oauth#46

Glad you got it worked out
