Failed to exchange the Google token
Hello everyone, has anyone here ever encountered the error that the code from Google OAuth is not valid when I try to exchange it for a token from the backend? I followed this article to implement a login flow with Google using nuxt-utils, but when the code is sent to the backend, it becomes invalid, resulting in the error:

This is my code to handle login google oauth.

Hi @Adnan Erlansyah. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

Based on the knowledge sources provided, I don't have enough specific information to directly address the "Failed to exchange the Google token" error you're encountering with the Nuxt OAuth implementation. However, I can provide some general guidance based on Nuxt authentication practices.
The error you're experiencing suggests there might be an issue with the OAuth flow or token exchange process. Here are a few things you could check:
1. Ensure that your Google OAuth credentials (client ID and client secret) are correctly configured and match between your frontend and backend.
2. Verify that the scopes you're requesting ('email profile openid') are correctly set up in your Google Cloud Console project.
3. Check if there's any mismatch in the redirect URI between what's configured in the Google Cloud Console and what's actually used in your application.
4. Make sure your backend is correctly set up to handle the OAuth code exchange. The error suggests the issue might be on the server-side when trying to exchange the code for a token.
5. Double-check that you're using the latest version of
nuxt-auth-utils
(if that's what you're using based on the defineOAuthGoogleEventHandler
in your code).
If you continue to face issues, you might want to consider using a more established authentication solution for Nuxt. For example, the Nuxt Authentication Module provides robust support for various authentication strategies, including OAuth.
Alternatively, you could look into implementing a simpler session-based authentication as described in the Nuxt documentation on Sessions and Authentication. This approach might be easier to debug and implement, especially if you're not specifically required to use Google OAuth.
If you need further assistance, it would be helpful to see the backend code handling the token exchange, as well as any specific error messages or logs from both the frontend and backend. Additionally, ensuring all your Nuxt and related packages are up to date might help resolve any potential compatibility issues.
