Question

I’ve looked through the documentation and I can’t figure out the specific line I’m meant to use to get devise + omniauth + google working together nicely.

This strategy file suggests there’s an easy way of doing it but I can’t find an example.

https://github.com/intridea/omniauth/blob/master/oa-oauth/lib/omniauth/strategies/google.rb

At the moment I’m using the line below in the devise.rb initializer file.

config.omniauth :google, GOOGLE_APP_ID, GOOGLE_SECRET_KEY

but I’m pretty sure it’s incomplete.

Also, I’m struggling to find where I should sign up for the google app id and secret key.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

The line I used in the end was …

config.omniauth :google, GOOGLE_APP_ID, GOOGLE_SECRET, :scope => "http://www.google.com/m8/feeds http://picasaweb.google.com/data/"

Turns out I was missing the scope I needed to access Picasa, which was what was causing me problems.
