[Update] Always use OAuth 2.0 with Google Picker API

[Kuntal Loya]

Hi everyone,

If you are already using the Picker API with OAuth 2.0, you can skip reading.

If you are creating the Picker dialog with Views that deal with user's data, like, Photos, Drive items, Youtube videos, etc, you need to now pass the oauth_token to the google.picker.PickerBuilder using its setOAuthToken method.

What to do?

• Obtain the OAuth token by following the instructions here. Make sure you pass the appropriate scopes while obtaining the token depending on the Picker Views you are creating.
  You can see the list of scopes for different Picker Views here.
• Pass the obtained OAuth token to the instance of google.picker.PickerBuilder using its setOAuthToken method. This method should be called before PickerBuilder.build() is called.

See example.

Please switch to using OAuth by Jan 15, 2014 after which Picker will stop working without OAuth token.

Let us know if you have any issues.

Thanks,

Google Picker API Team

Hi Kuntal,

I posted a separate message about this earlier today, the gist is that when I start using setOAuthToken, DocsUploadView breaks. When I just removed the setOAuthToken call, things went back to normal, i.e. files can be successfully uploaded.

I double-checked that the token I pass to setOAuthToken has correct scope (.../auth/drive) by looking at scopes in the same "authorization result" object that contains the token.

Could you pls hold off a bit on disabling the old behavior while the issue with uploads is being clarified, and I would appreciate any workarounds you can suggest.

Thanks,

Ivan

I too have just disabled setOAuthToken, and now files can be uploaded. When it is enabled, the server is rejecting it each time.

Thanks for the report. We'll check out what the possible issue is here, and get back to you. Do you have a demo page you can share with us, where the issue can be repro-ed.

We'll keep the old behavior around till this issue is resolved.

Thanks for your patience,

Kuntal

I'm afraid I can't provide a demo page, but I'll put the code snippet below. I'm using refresh tokens for authorization. Like I say, it has worked fine the last few months using setOauthToken, but now files will only successfully upload if that line is removed.

function createPicker() {

var view = new google.picker.DocsUploadView()

.setParent("0B0MdHztEbMzmV3BGU1d6Uzg1Q1E");//this is the folder to upload into

var developerKey = '***';

var picker = new google.picker.PickerBuilder()

.enableFeature(google.picker.Feature.MULTISELECT_ENABLED)

.addView(view)

.hideTitleBar()

.addView(new google.picker.View(google.picker.ViewId.DOCS))

                //.setOAuthToken(globalOAuthCode) <- must be removed to now work

.setDeveloperKey(developerKey)

.setCallback(pickerCallback)            

.build();

picker.setVisible(true);

}

Thanks again for any help :)

Kuntal,

Thanks for your reply, here's a simple demo page: http://test-picker-upload.appspot.com/

Hey everyone -

The issue is now fixed, as of around 11:50am PST.  We were able to fix it via a live configuration change.  Sorry for the difficulty and thanks for reporting the bug.

Hi all,

I've a similar issue regarding upload of files.

I've an old project that doesn't use Oauth2 token, so I've updated it as the doc say.

In my case the code won't work because the access token is null, but coming back to the old code (that doesn't use OAuth2 token) all works well...

[Kuntal Loya]

Hi all,

Just an update - The change enforcing OAuth in Picker has been delayed to 15 April, however it is highly recommended, that you create the Picker with an OAuth token.

Thanks.

Hi,

It has stopped to work without Oauth 2.0, although two months left 15th April.

Thanks.

Best regards, Ignacio
