invalid_scope on authorisation

[MartijnBraam]

I've just installed qhangups but the login page is invalid.

As text:

1. That’s an error.

Error: invalid_scope

Not authorized to request the scopes: [https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthLogin]

Unfortunately Google recently broke auth method that is used by Hangups (library that QHangups uses). See this issue: #260

I can't do anything with it until this issue is fixed...

All other third-party Hangouts clients have same problem right now. Existing auth tokens (if you have logged in before change made by Google) should still work, but you can't get new one.

I wrote a workaround here, a manual way to get oauth tokens tdryer/hangups#260 (comment)

Since it seems you use a webview, what i said in the yakyak tracker probably also applies to this project:

Given how yakyak uses electron and can load full web pages, it may be possible to integrate this the way it was intended to - in a webview, with something outside of the frame grabbing the cookie just like the iOS app does.

So you're lucky there, but for the rest of the hangups users we still have to find something better.

hangups currently works again, but qhangups doesn't run in the current state. It seems like it would be a good time to update it to work again, since hangups has had the token update.

It's fixed in new version 1.8.1
