Google calendar sync fails with "Missing required parameter: refresh_token"
aketawi opened this issue · comments
Hey, very much enjoying the project so far, however, I've run into an issue with the Google calendar implementation.
Soon after setting up a Google storage, it fails to synchronize with the message:
error: Unknown error occurred for google/username@gmail.com: (invalid_request) Missing required parameter: refresh_token
Removing the token file and re-authorizing fixes the problem, only for it to come back about an hour later.
I've tried redoing the entire configuration from scratch, and was met with the same problem, so I'm stumped now and would greatly appreciate any help.

The thing that jumps out to me is that the 'Expires' field contains a date from 1981. I've double checked my timezone, time synchronization and everything, so if the issue is in my configuration, I could not pinpoint it.
Can you delete the token_file? It'll prompt you to go through the authentication flow again.
Yep, I did try that and did mention that it will still give the same error about an hour later :v
worst case scenario, I could probably write a script that will delete the token hourly, since the authentication happens without my input after the first time
oh, my bad, didn't mean to close
I have exactly the same issue. After set-up synchonization with Google calendar works fine several times and then failed with (invalid_request) Missing required parameter: refresh_token.
vdirsyncer --version: vdirsyncer, version 0.19.1
python --version: Python 3.10.8

I ran into the same issue. I was able to fix it and obtain a refresh token by configuring my OAuth2.0 client ID for vdirsyncer as a Desktop application in the Google cloud console. The vdirsyncer documentation recommends configuring it as a web application, but that didn't work for me. If someone else can confirm that this fixes the issue, maybe the docs should be updated? @WhyNotHugo

Confirmed. Currently with "Desktop Application" I have successful syncs for several hours.
