Can't generate a refresh token

[Philipp Sowinski]

Hi,

I'm currently following this guide to set up Google Ads API for my project:
https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/first-call/overview#config

(I want to upload offline conversions programmatically through the api)

1) I successfully requested a developer token

2) I created a OAuth2 client ID and client secret

3) I struggle to generate the OAuth2 refresh token

https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/client-libs/python/oauth-web

If I run the script mentioned in the docs and open the URL, then I get this error:

python3 authenticate_in_web_application.py --client_secrets_path client_secret.json 

Paste this URL into your browser: 

https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?response_type=codexxxxxxxxx

Waiting for authorization and callback to: http://localhost:8080...

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "authenticate_in_web_application.py", line 203, in <module>

    main(args.client_secrets_path, configured_scopes)

  File "authenticate_in_web_application.py", line 81, in main

    code = _get_authorization_code(passthrough_val)

  File "authenticate_in_web_application.py", line 112, in _get_authorization_code

    params = _parse_raw_query_params(data)

  File "authenticate_in_web_application.py", line 160, in _parse_raw_query_params

    params = match.group(1)

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group'

What I am missing?

On a computer with a fresh installed ubuntu operating system it works. I think there is a problem with package versions.

Would be nice to know which package version is wrong but I guess this is out of scope.
