gphotos-sync: InvalidGrantError: (invalid_grant) Token has been expired or revoked.

I have been running gphotos-sync on a nightly cron job, and it last succeeded 2021-01-11 at 1AM. Ever since, it has been failing with this issue (both with the snap version and the pip version; this error is from pip version 2.14.2):

I haven’t revoked the token nor does it have an expiry date. I’ve created a second oauth key, and using it I get the same result.

I have found the solution for me. You have to ‘publish’ the app to allow functioning of repeat tokens. I’m now on week 3 without retrieving new token since publishing when it used to be 7 days. See newest readme info in latest git submission.

I’m running gphotos-sync on a fixed schedule, once per day. I’m hitting this issue as well - about once per week. This makes using gphotos-sync to keep an automated backup of your photos infeasible.

Any way we can debug this? When does it try to renew the token? I can try to collect logs of all runs over the next week.

Hi, occasionally the authorization token refresh fails and you will get his (its not the oauth secret key so recreating that does not help)

if you run gphotos sync with --new-token it will ask you for your login details again and fix the issue (–new-token is from memory and I cant check right now - use --help if I have got the option name wrong)

yep, the message is not mine but there may be an opportunity to trap that exception and make a better message. I’ll put it on the todo list.

Yep, just found that in --help and it did indeed solve the problem. I think this could be a great improvement to the error message, recommending re-running with that flag.
