Google OmniAuth for rails giving error "Missing required parameter: client_id"

Question

I need some help.

I have followed all the steps correctly to enable a Google sign in using omniauth.

My Config/Initializers/omniauth.rb

     require 'omniauth-google-oauth2'
     require 'dotenv'

        Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
        provider :google_oauth2,
        ENV["GOOGLE_APP_ID"],
        ENV["GOOGLE_APP_SECRET"]
.......

    end

My routes are correct:

  get    '/auth/google_oauth2/callback', to: 'sessions#googleAuth'
  get    'auth/failure',                 to: redirect('/')
  get    'signout',                      to: 'sessions#destroy', as: 'signout'

I have saved credentials properly.

However I am still getting the following error when I click on Google Sign In to redirect to access.

The error is as follows:

That’s an error.

Error: invalid_request

Missing required parameter: client_id

Request Details access_type=offline client_id= prompt=consent redirect_uri=http://localhost:3000/auth/google_oauth2/callback response_type=code

Why am I getting the missing client_id error, when my project is properly set on the Google Console, everything else is fine.

Please help me get around this.

Thank you!

Have you set these environment variables?? GOOGLE_APP_ID and GOOGLE_APP_SECRET I don't think you have, please do set it and then try. — Surya

Print logger statements and check if the environment variables are getting passed successfully into omniauth.rb — Surya

Hey thanks all for the comments.

I was able to resolve it by adding

Dotenv.load

to the Omniauth.rb
