piling on. Same thing. Google Data Studio works however.

Seems to be related to this.

This code is trying to get the CLIENT_ID variable from the environment. If you check the .env.example, the CLIENT_ID should be defined there. But if you check the .env.production file it is never set.

Simple fix:

1. Clone the repo
2. Get custom OAUTH2 credentials for desktop apps from here
3. Add the CLIENT_ID and CLIENT_SECRET variables to your .env file
4. Build the app

A more elegant solution would be to add a section in the app settings to set the CLIENT_ID and CLIENT_SECRET there.

BTW, in Windows, you can just add the credentials to the C:\Users\[USER]\AppData\Local\Programs\station-desktop-app\resources\.env.production file instead of having to rebuild the app.

Is there perhaps a little less "engineer-y" solution for this issue? Oh, and I am on BigSur 11.5.2.

For mac user, you can edit file in /Applications/Station.app/Contents/Resources/.env.production then add GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID and GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET

[carsondarling]

@leangseu were you able to get this method to work? I've got a client ID and secret setup, but when I authorize an account, I first get redirected to the Station app, and then get redirected to https://getstation.com/app-login-success/#.

It appears that it's related to https://github.com/getstation/desktop-app/blob/main/app/services/services/authentication/main.ts#L82, but I don't fully understand the actual authorization flow that Station is using.

Update: I'm wondering if this is based on missing STATION_API_AUTHPROXY_ENDPOINT in the config.
