Using xoauth2 authentication failed

See original GitHub issue

Hi, I am using xoauth2 to connect to imap and I’m getting this error:

here is my connection code :

`this.setImap = function(connParams) {
    //----------------------------------------------
    console.log(connParams);
    xoauth2gen = xoauth2.createXOAuth2Generator({
      user: connParams.user",
      clientId: configAuth.googleAuth.clientID,
      clientSecret: configAuth.googleAuth.clientSecret,
      refreshToken: connParams.refresh_token,
      accessToken: connParams.access_token,
       customPayload: {
      "access_type": "offline"
    }
    });


    xoauth2gen.getToken(function(err, token) {
      if (err) {
        return console.log(err);
      }
      console.log("AUTH XOAUTH2 " + token);
      connParams.xoauth2 = token;
    });

    connParams = {
      id: 13,
      user: connParams.user,
      xoauth2: connParams.xoauth2,
      host: 'imap.gmail.com',
      port: 993,
      tls: 1,
      debug: console.log
    }
    //------------------------------------------- 
    connParams.tlsOptions = {
      rejectUnauthorized: false
    };

    console.log(connParams);



    self.imap = new Imap(connParams);

    this.imap.once('ready', function() {
      console.log('Imap: ready');
      self.openInbox();
    });

    this.imap.once('error', function(err) {
      console.error("ERROR Imap:" + err);
    });

    this.imap.once('end', function() {
      console.log('Imap: Connection ended');
    });
  };

Checked a million time the details 😦

here is the scope I’m using :

scope: ['profile', "https://mail.google.com/" ]

I would appreciate any help, Thanks!!

@ShaharLahav I’m currently getting the same exact sequence of debug statements and the error that you had at the beginning of this thread. I’m using the xoauth2 generator library as you are with getToken… and creating an imap instance as you are too. Could you describe in a little more detail what you did to get that connection working for me? Maybe post the xoauth2generator/token retrieval and imap configuration code that worked for you?

@spyeadon you figure this out either?
