No way to renew Google Credentials

[borpin]

The problem

If you have Google API credentials setup and you need to change them, there is no way to do it - the setup jumps straight to the page redirect.

What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

core-2024.12.5

What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core?

No response

What type of installation are you running?

Home Assistant OS

Integration causing the issue

Gmail and Google Calendar

Diagnostics information

I have previously had a working integration of Google mail. I had to change the API credentials and now I need to renew the credentials in HA.

I have ended up with the integration not showing on the integrations list.

When I try and recreate the integration, the setup jumps straight to the page redirect without any means of changing the credentials. This of course fails as the credentials are no longer valid.

I think when the integration is no longer present, the credentials are retained, but I cannot find where.

Anything in the logs that might be useful for us?

Hey there @tkdrob, mind taking a look at this issue as it has been labeled with an integration (google_mail) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks!

The exact same thing happens to me when connecting to Google Calendar. Feel free to contact me if more details or tests are needed to fix this behavior!

You can remove them here.

(Also borpin, we are still looking for your discord username as codeowner of emoncms, mind sending me a message?)

Thanks joostlek, that was helping. After deleting the old credentials, all went through properly!

@joostlek I have hopefully sent it on Discord. My usual one had gone IIRC.

Thanks. Seem to remember I have found that previously. ~~Can that be added to the documentation, please (or made more prominent if it is there :) )?~~ - Blind as a bat!

Also, for future reference, how do I navigate to them?

But it doesn't solve the issue. Perhaps the pop-up that has the 'Go to Web Page' link should also have a link to that credentials page?

[borpin]

Ah, OK, hidden under the 3 dots. Should have guessed :(

As I say, doesn't completely solve the problem as the dialogue should have a link to that when issues occur.

What dialog do you mean?

What dialog do you mean?

When trying to add/connect the integration (and there is an issue with the credentials), the add process jumps straight to the google site, which throws the error above. If you close that error page and go back to the HA integrations page, there is a dialogue box on the integrations page that has a button that says (something like) Go to Web Page. If you click that button, it takes you to the google page that says there was an issue.

The dialogue with the button, really needs an alternative link to the credentials page that says something like "If there is an issue with the credentials, delete them here (link) and try adding the integration again".

Unless you know where the credentials are, they are difficult to find 😄

If you delete the integration, should the credentials be deleted as well?

When adding other Google integrations, being able to select existing credentials would be useful (assuming you have set the credentials up in that way).

[joostlek]

The downside of that dialog, is that its just a generic dialog for launching an external page. This can be oauth, but also other Auth methods.

Fun fact: when Deleting the old config entry, you do get the question if you want to keep the old credentials

AH OK, I'd forgotten that.

Shame about the dialogue.

So is the only way to update credentials, to delete the integration and credentials and recreate from scratch? Would this then require any automations etc to be recreated/edited? Is there no way to provide the ability to update credentials?
