Cannot destructure property `client_secret` of 'undefined' or 'null'.

Expected Behavior

expected the script to work.

Actual Behavior

I got an error. const {client_secret, client_id, redirect_uris} = credentials.installed; ^

TypeError: Cannot destructure property client_secret of ‘undefined’ or ‘null’. at authorize (C:\Users\Mustafa Aygün\Desktop\code\emailer_test\quickstart.js:26:65) at fs.readFile (C:\Users\Mustafa Aygün\Desktop\code\emailer_test\quickstart.js:16:3) at FSReqCallback.readFileAfterClose [as oncomplete] (internal/fs/read_file_context.js:53:3)

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

Specifications

• Node version (node -v)
• OS (Mac/Linux/Windows)

var clientSecret = credentials.installed.client_secret; In this line credentials is pointing to client_secret.json so the first key has to be “installed”. In my case the key was “web” and that was causing the error. I just renamed the key “web” to “installed”.

I was having the same issue…not sure if this is the “best” solution…but it works.

• delete const {client_secret, client_id, redirect_uris} = credentials.installed;

• replace with: var client_secret = credentials.client_secret; var client_id = credentials.client_id; var redirect_uris = credentials.redirect_uris;

• resulting in the following authorize function: `function authorize(credentials, callback) { var client_secret = credentials.client_secret; var client_id = credentials.client_id; var redirect_uris = credentials.redirect_uris;

const oAuth2Client = new google.auth.OAuth2( client_id, client_secret, redirect_uris);

// Check if we have previously stored a token. fs.readFile(TOKEN_PATH, (err, token) => { if (err) return getAccessToken(oAuth2Client, callback); oAuth2Client.setCredentials(JSON.parse(token)); callback(oAuth2Client); }); }`

thanks that was the only way to fix my issue
