Greetings all and thanks in advance for any replies. I’m new to meteor and shaky legged on oAuth.
My main issue is I can not get the Twitter oAuth flow package to work at all. Before I got submitting issues that probably don’t exist to GitHub, I thought I should ask here first to see what I might be doing wrong.
I am building an app where users can use oAuth to gain access to many different APIs. I decided to start with Twitter, and I added the oAuth packages as well as the Twitter oAuth flow package. I am working out of Cloud9 on a fresh setup of meteor.
Note: I do not want people to login to my app with Twitter. I only want them to use oAuth so they can do REST requests to the Twitter API.
I am so far unable to get the Twitter oAuth flow package to work.
Here is my template helper code where I invoke the oAuth request:
var result = Twitter.requestCredential(function(){
console.log(“success?”);
});
Here is what happens:
The popup window appears, and says unable to connect while it is trying to hit this redirect url:
http://0.0.0.0:8080/_oauth/twitter/...etc
I assumed this was an issue with running on the C9 dev environment so I modified the Twitter client code to remove:
Meteor.absoluteUrl(loginPath);
and instead call:
‘https://myworkspace.c9.io/_oauth/twitter/?requestTokenAndRedirect=true’
+ ‘&state=’ + OAuth._stateParam(loginStyle, credentialToken);
The result is a popup window that simply opens and closes immediately with this in the meteor console:
W20150529-14:54:41.373(0) (oauth_server.js:398) Error in OAuth Server: Failed to send OAuth1 request to https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token. failed [401] <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> Desktop applications only support the oauth_callback value ‘oob’ /oauth/request_token
Finally, just to verify, the loginServiceConfiguration exists and is correct:
meteor:PRIMARY> db.meteor_accounts_loginServiceConfiguration.find()
{ "_id" : "tQPXeRumnSuSRQAmB", "service" : "twitter", "consumerKey" : "mykeyishere", "secret" : "mysecretishere", "loginStyle" : "popup" }
This is as far as I’ve gotten. Does anybody know what I’m doing wrong, or does it seem like an issue with the package?
Thank you so much!
