Sheets 'Must specify at least one request.' error

See original GitHub issue

With the V4 API, sheets.spreadsheets.batchUpdate is responding with ‘ERROR: Must specify at least one request’ when used in Node.js, even when I specify a valid request body.

const options = {
  spreadsheetId: defaultConfig.spreadsheetId,
  auth: auth.authClient,
  resource: {requests: requests}
};
sheets.spreadsheets.batchUpdate(options, function (error, other){
  console.log(error);
});

Yea, nah… I just spent the past 6 hours on this one. batchupdate is totally broke. My guess is, something to do with changes in 26.0 for es6.

Rollback to a previous working version of googleapis, version 21.3.0 works for me. 26.0.1 Gave me same error.

Sounds like we have an answer here 😃 Indeed, you should NOT directly install google-auth-library, since googleapis comes with a compatible client built-in. Thanks for the fix @erickoledadevrel!

@jetrii please do let us know if you’re still having issues after removing google-auth-library from your package.json.
