Building ChromiumOS - Google API keys are missing

[Антон Лебедев]

Hello, guys!

I have some troubles with API keys.

After installation of my custom build I got this error (https://sun9-47.userapi.com/c856524/v856524120/1d9683/yRqTXg3f1Uo.jpg).

I tried to do everything according to docs, but my attempts have no effect.

So, I did i the following:

1. Create ".googleapikeys" file in the user root folder with content like this (I've changed real values due to privacy):

google_api_key = "my_api_key"

google_default_client_id = "my_client_id"

google_default_client_secret = "my_client_secret"

2. Then a second time I've changed the format according to advice in this topic https://groups.google.com/u/2/a/chromium.org/g/chromium-os-dev/c/IEbmZImPEg8/m/1dkQRZ6XAQAJ

'google_api_key': ' my_api_key',

'google_default_client_id': ' my_client_id',

'google_default_client_secret': ' my_client_secret',

and build new image.

I deleted old ".googleapikeys" file inside chroot, so the second time I've got INFO message about adding changed file, so I thought I was doing everything right.

I noticed that in this article http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/api-keys  there are no words about ".googleapikeys" file. What about "args.gn" file - I have not found any information about using command "gn args out/your_out_dir_here". What means "your_out_dir_here"? Where should I run it? I don't know.

I've also tried to create "/etc/chrome_dev.conf" file in the "/etc" directory of the chroot and place my API keys there. And it also takes no effect after rebuild. Maybe I did something wrong.

So I have no idea why my API keys are missing.

I'd appreciate any help.

once you've created the ~/.googleapikeys file, you have to rebuild Chrome.  you can force it with `emerge-$BOARD chromeos-chrome` -- build_packages by default won't work.  that will take care of passing the content to Chrome's gn for you.

then re-run build_image to include the change in the new image.

Mike.
When emerge Chrome for .googleapikeys, have to use local source with cros_workon? or just can download built Chrome package from server?
