Buttercup desktop won't authenticate google drive

[jsbberlin]

May I guide your attention to this post: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1402828/buttercup-desktop-wont-authenticate-google-drive This is my experience with the desktop app since years. It might have changed a little bit (I used Ubuntu and Mint). I was never capable to connect properly to google drive (this made using buttercup particular unsatisfying). So steps to reproduce are:

1. open desktop app (linux)
2. select add vault
3. select google drive
4. click Authenticate
5. authentication opens in default browser (tried both Firefox & Chrome)
6. credential input
7. continue, a new web page opens at Buttercup.pw saying "Authenticated. You can close this window now."
8. desktop app starts prompting again at step 4

Google notice changes - local buttercup doesn't. As mentioned above: It never worked that way. My expectation for a workflow would be:

1. create local vault
2. upload it to cloud service
3. connect to remote vault and use it with browsers and apps

I could never in my life make the google drive authenticate works. <.> I tried on Windows 10 and Windows 11. Failed.

@jsbberlin At step 7 in your list, please wait a while (10 seconds or so), and if nothing happens please open up the devtools. Are there any errors in the console?

It should open up a protocol URL that will open Buttercup desktop app, but if that's not happening it's likely your computer is not registering the protocol URL for our app. How did you install Buttercup?

@perry-mitchell the errors are - that's not what you are looking for, I assume :)

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource.
Loading failed for the <script> with source “https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js”. buttercup.pw:1:1

I had a third party cookie exception as well (google analytics). I fixed that. What I am really wondering: It never worked on any device. Sure all of them are administrated by me, thus sort of similar. But:

• I tried it on Ubuntu Systems in recent years
• Mint 21
• windows 10&11
• Browsers typically Firefox and Chrome
• Installation typically the package provided by buttercup (deb? installed via apt, installer on windows systems)
• on Mint it's the image provided by buttercup

[perry-mitchell]

Buttercup doesn't come in deb packages anymore, as you can see on the releases page. Are you possibly using an old build?

For linux AppImage is the only format we support right now, due to it's ease of updating and ease of execution. I'd recommend also using AppImage launcher to manage installation (it's great for many AppImage based apps).

[perry-mitchell]

Closing due to lack of response. Google drive functionality has recently been updated, too, so this is possibly invalid.

I'm having this same issue (also on multiple systems over time) using the appimage (2.26.2).

checking the firefox console gives:

@Salmonmon Unfortunately those logs don't say much, and don't indicate that they're related to Google drive. We'd need more information if we're to find an issue as it seems to work otherwise. Please consider opening a new issue if you're able to find some logs that identity a cause.

Locking as this issue is closed.
