Why is my google account authentication failing?
I have created a scraping application ( C# ) that writes results to a private Google Sheet.
When I run the application in Debug mode, it works as expected and authenticates.
However, when I run it as a task, the authentication fails here...
using (var stream =
new FileStream("credentials.json", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
{
string credPath = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal);
credPath = Path.Combine(credPath, ".credentials/sheets.googleapis.com-dotnet-quickstart.json");
credential = GoogleWebAuthorizationBroker.AuthorizeAsync(
GoogleClientSecrets.Load(stream).Secrets,
Scopes,
"user",
CancellationToken.None,
new FileDataStore(credPath, true)).Result;
Console.WriteLine("Credential file saved to: " + credPath);
}
I have a credentials.json file set to copy always in the project and it is being copied to the bin/debug and bin/release folders on compilation.
The error I am getting (only when run in task scheduler) is this....
Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file
'C:WINDOWSsystem32credentials.json'.
at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)
at System.IO.FileStream.Init(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access,
Int32 rights, Boolean useRights, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize,
FileOptions options, SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES secAttrs, String msgPath, Boolean

at ScreenScraper.Program.Main(String args) in C:UsersxxxDocumentsVisual
Studio 2017ProjectsScreenScraperScreenScraperProgram.cs:line 38
I then copied credentials.json to C:WINDOWSsystem32 but I am still getting the error.

Possibly - I gave full read permission to the folder - same error

I suggest you choode a different path tham Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal, e.g. Environment.SpecialFolder.CommonAppData

@KlausGütter - I tried that - same error : Could not find file 'C:WINDOWSsystem32credentials.json

When I run the exe directly from the bin/debug it works ... so must be a setting in the task scheduler
