Hey @FabianMaquen,

We have created an internal ticket to look into this which we will be tracking as "N8N-8165"

[Joffcom]

Hey @FabianMaquen

Can you try 1.75 and let me know if you have the same issue? I believe this is also a duplicate of another issue so I may end up closing this tomorrow and linking it to the other one.

[LilDaniel0]

I have the same issue righ now, theyre all the google credentials

[Joffcom]

@LilDaniel0 same above if you can, Can you try 1.75 and see if that works? Is it also only failing when using the node as a tool or does it fail under normal use as well?

Have you also made sure your Google API application is set to production and not testing?

[dsebastien]

I face the same issue. My app is in testing. I don't intend on publishing it since it's for my personal use only. Is that mandatory? It seems that it worked that way before

Same issue here on a self-hosted version using an unpublished Google app because internal stuff:

  "errorDetails": {
    "rawErrorMessage": [
      "Unable to sign without access token"
    ]
  },

@dsebastien if your app is not in production (doesn't need to be public / published) then the credential will expire after 7 days and we don't have a solution for that as it is something Google make clear for test apps.

@neverything can you try updating to 1.75.0 and let me know if you have the same issue.

[dsebastien]

Fixed it by enabling cloudflare proxying, adding N8N_PROXY_HOPS=1, deleting and recreating the GMail credentials

[Joffcom]

That seems like an unusual fix and one that seems unrelated to the issue, good to know though.

[rudmac]

I just delete it all Google credentials, restart the server and create the credentials again... all set!
