Service to service example code not working

[q42jaap]

The example code in the readme:

const auth = new google.auth.GoogleAuth({
    // Scopes can be specified either as an array or as a single, space-delimited string.
    scopes: ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/compute']
  });

Is not working, the runtime error is:

TypeError: google.auth.GoogleAuth is not a constructor

It's not clear how to solve this.

@q42jaap we hadn't yet published version 42.0.0 of the library, which introduces the GoogleAuth constructor.

Could you please npm i googleapis@latest, and let me know if this solves your problem?

Im using 42.0.0 and getting the same error, I have no idea why

@jlippold @q42jaap I have just confirmed that the following code works:

const {google} = require('googleapis');
const auth = new google.auth.GoogleAuth({
  // Scopes can be specified either as an array or as a single, space-delimited string.
  scopes: ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/compute']
});

On googleapis@42.0.0.

@jlippold try rm -rf node_modules; rm package-lock.json; npm i, and give the example code a shot.

If you're continuing to have issues, mind sharing a snippet of the code you're running?
