get key failed from google

[philpownall]

I've been happily using google-home-notifier for quite some time, but have recently started encountering this error:

Error: get key failed from google
at /home/pi/MyHouse/node_modules/google-tts-api/lib/key.js:27:13
at
at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:188:7)

The error message originates in the key.js module as indicated:
try {
eval(html.match(/TKK=eval('(.*)');/g)[0]); // TKK = '405291.1334555331'
if (TKK === null) throw null;
} catch (e) {
throw new Error('get key failed from google');
}

I've tried removing and reinstalling node.js and google-home-notifier, I've tried rebooting the Google Home, and I've tried calling googlehome.device and googlehome.ip to no avail ; does anyone have any idea where I go from here? Is it some sort of authorization error from google?

me too.
I've been happily using google-home-notifier for quite some time, but
I also saw the same error today.
Will it be fixed?

-status
rasbery pi -> google-home-notifier -> googlehome

Error: get key failed from google

I think that
can not acquire TKK by accessing this site(https://translate.google.com/) on rasberry pi.

This is a problem which 'google-tts' must be fixed, not this library.
zlargon/google-tts#13

And @ncpierson has already fixed this problem ( great work! ).
zlargon/google-tts#14

So I think it works well by using next version of 'google-tts'.

New version of google-tts is released.
You have to update package.json of google-home-notifier and re-install.

Before

  "dependencies": {
      :
    "google-tts-api": "0.0.2",
      :
  }

After

  "dependencies": {
      :
    "google-tts-api": "0.0.3",
      :
  }

do you have the steps that need to be performed to complete the update and reinstall?

[philpownall]

Updated google-tts-api as indicated and verified that google homre notifier is happily making announcements again.

Hi could you update google-home-notifier with this fix please ?

Note: 2019
In ~/.node-red/node_modules/google-home-notify`

edit package.json and change the dependency on 'google-tts-api' from '0.0.2-alpha1' to '0.0.3', so it reads:

"dependencies": {
"bluebird": "3.5.1",
"castv2-client": "^1.2.0",
"google-tts-api": "0.0.4"
}

Update the dependency
npm update

Restart node-red
node-red-stop
node-red-start

Not sure why this isn;t updated in Master, but I just proposed a quick PR for it. Seems to be the fix, at least for me
