Google API Client “refresh token must be passed in or set as part of setAccessToken”

Question

I am currently facing a very strange problem, indeed I\'ve been following this very same guide (https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/quickstart/php) from Googl

Answer 1

My advice is save refresh token to .json immediately after get access token and if access token expired use refresh token.

In my projects work this way:

public static function getClient()
{
    $client = new Google_Client();
    $client->setApplicationName('JhvInformationTable');
    $client->setScopes(Google_Service_Calendar::CALENDAR_READONLY);
    $client->setAuthConfig('credentials.json');
    $client->setAccessType('offline');

    // Load previously authorized credentials from a file.
    $credentialsPath = 'token.json';
    $credentialsPath2 = 'refreshToken.json';
    if (file_exists($credentialsPath)) {
        $accessToken = json_decode(file_get_contents($credentialsPath), true);
    } else {
        // Request authorization from the user.
        $authUrl = $client->createAuthUrl();
        //printf("Open the following link in your browser:\n%s\n", $authUrl);
        //print 'Enter verification code: ';
        $authCode = trim(fgets(STDIN));

        //echo "";
        //exit;

        $authCode ='********To get code, please uncomment the code above********';

        // Exchange authorization code for an access token.
        $accessToken = $client->fetchAccessTokenWithAuthCode($authCode);
        $refreshToken = $client->getRefreshToken();

        // Check to see if there was an error.
        if (array_key_exists('error', $accessToken)) {
            throw new Exception(join(', ', $accessToken));
        }

        // Store the credentials to disk.
        if (!file_exists(dirname($credentialsPath))) {
            mkdir(dirname($credentialsPath), 0700, true);
        }
        file_put_contents($credentialsPath, json_encode($accessToken));
        file_put_contents($credentialsPath2, json_encode($refreshToken));
        printf("Credentials saved to %s\n", $credentialsPath);
    }
    $client->setAccessToken($accessToken);

    // Refresh the token if it's expired.
    if ($client->isAccessTokenExpired()) {
        $refreshToken = json_decode(file_get_contents($credentialsPath2), true);
        $client->fetchAccessTokenWithRefreshToken($refreshToken);
        file_put_contents($credentialsPath, json_encode($client->getAccessToken()));
    }
    return $client;
}
