It generates token with life duration = 1 hour

See original GitHub issue

I’ve created “Credentials.json” file as per instructions. Then I am running the command to generate Token: node ..\..\node_modules\gmail-tester\init.js .\credentials.json gmail_token.json test@gmail.com It successfully creates Token, BUT it’s life time is just 1 hour.

{
  "access_token": "ya29.a0AfH6SMDwy2 ... xMze5YfDMru-CYaM",
  "refresh_token": "1//09boFIYyEL0w3Cg ... UKq7eNZHeSKxIv3MyZqI",
  "scope": "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.readonly",
  "token_type": "Bearer",
  "expiry_date": 1610372897000
}

How extend token life time (to at least half of the year)?

According to this, it looks like the access token is now expiring after one hour. I’ll expose a function to refresh the access token in the coming days.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
