Thank you for reporting the problem!  I filed a bug report here:

Same error, on windows 7 and java 1.7

I'm getting this too.  I looked at the class that's throwing this and here's the offending chunk of code:

// set file permissions to be only readable by user

if (!file.setReadable(false, false) || !file.setWritable(false, false)

|| !file.setExecutable(false, false) || !file.setReadable(true)

|| !file.setWritable(true)) {

throw new IOException("unable to set file permissions");

} I believe, in my case, that java 6 can't change read & exe permissions on Windows 7. The following methods fail even when I run them as administrator: file.setReadable(boolean) file.setReadable(boolean, boolean) file.setExecutable(boolean) file.setExecutable(boolean, boolean) Any advise from Google or others on how to run this on Windows?

Hi All,

I downloaded the OAuth 2 sample code from http://code.google.com/p/google-api-java-client/source/browse?repo=samples#hg/oauth2-cmdline-sample, and created the project in eclipse. Now when i try to run the project it says 'unable to set file permissions' at  FileCredentialStore credentialStore = new FileCredentialStore(

        new File(System.getProperty("user.home"), ".credentials/oauth2.json"), JSON_FACTORY);

    // set up authorization code flow

    GoogleAuthorizationCodeFlow flow = new GoogleAuthorizationCodeFlow.Builder(

        HTTP_TRANSPORT, JSON_FACTORY, clientSecrets, SCOPES).setCredentialStore(credentialStore)

        .build();

Has anyone got this error earlier? What is the solutions for this?

Hi @All,

             I Have the same error, with Windows xp, eclipse juno and java 1.7.

com.google.api.client.util.store.FileDataStoreFactory setPermissionsToOwnerOnly
WARNING: unable to change permissions for everybody:C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\.oauth-credentials

Anyone post right answer here it will help to others.

Thanks,

This is the source code in question:

// disable access by other users if O/S allows it

if (!dataDirectory.setReadable(false, false) || !dataDirectory.setWritable(false, false)

|| !dataDirectory.setExecutable(false, false)) {

LOGGER.warning("unable to change permissions for everybody: " + dataDirectory);

}

In October 2012 it was changed into a warning instead of an error. Is that creating difficulty other than the diagnostic noise?

A way to stop the noisy diagnostic here would be to stop trying to execute this if block on Windows since it is known not to work.
