Could not start application goth about goth

[peburrows]

@ponty96 have you configured goth in your mix file with your json credentials, or are you running in GCE?

[ponty96]

so I just did that and i'm getting this:

[ponty96]

in my devs.exs

config :goth,
  json: "config/gce_credentials/client_secret.json" |> File.read!

[peburrows]

The error you're seeing now appears to be specific to your app and looks like it's because something is already listening on the port you're attempting to use. That's what the {:listen_error, Distru.Endpoint.HTTP, :eaddrinuse} is indicating.

[ponty96]

yep. thanks

Your latest error looks like the first one, and most likely stems from not properly configuring goth with your credentials.

In the context of goth, the :nxdomain exception will be raised when you attempt to hit Google's metadata service when running outside of Google's network (the http://metadata.google.internal domain is not publicly accessible). Goth will only hit the metadata service if you haven't told goth about your credentials via the :json config.

I know you mentioned in a previous comment that you setup your credentials in your config, but can you double-check that you're still doing that?
