Setting up Gmail access using gog skill
Goal:
Integrate Gmail access into Clawdbot running on a DigitalOcean VPS using the gog (Google Workspace CLI) skill.
Environment:
ā¢ Clawdbot running on a DigitalOcean VPS
ā¢ gog CLI installed
ā¢ ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json configured with:
ā¢ GOG_KEYRING_BACKEND: file
ā¢ GOG_KEYRING_PASSWORD (passphrase)
ā¢ GOG_ACCOUNT: xxxx@gmail.com
ā¢ GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS: /root/.clawdbot/credentials/google-oauth-client.json (confirmed to exist)
Problem:
Unable to complete the OAuth 2.0 authorization flow for gog because the interactive process consistently times out.
Steps Taken and Observations:
1. Initial Authentication Attempt:
The gog authorization process was initiated via command line.
2. Interactive Authorization Flow:
In the headless environment, the command outputs a Google OAuth URL containing parameters such as access_type=offline, client_id, redirect_uri=http://127.0.0.1:<port>/oauth2/callback, response_type=code, and Gmail scope.
3. Manual User Intervention:
The user is instructed to:
ā¢ Copy the URL
ā¢ Open it in a local browser
ā¢ Log into the Google account and grant permissions
ā¢ After authorization, Google redirects to a 127.0.0.1:<port>/oauth2/callback?code=<authorization_code> URL
ā¢ Copy the <authorization_code> from the redirected URL
ā¢ Paste the code back into the chat
4. Persistent Timeouts:
ā¢ This process was attempted multiple times (3ā4).
ā¢ Each time, the gog auth add command times out while waiting for the authorization code.
ā¢ When attempting to write the authorization code back to the session, the error received is:
"No active session found for <session_id>"
