Getting results from Garb using OAuth token returns hard to understand error

[jasperkennis]

I'm having a hard time getting data from Google using an OAuth authorized token. I have the following:

Garb::Session.access_token = current_user.google_api_token
raise Garb::Management::Account.all.to_yaml

I'm aware improvements could be made all over the place, but that aside I'm getting some pretty unexpected result:

undefined method `get' for "ya29.AHES6ZSGqK4BMwuvzQvYCK5JG1Y...":String

I'm getting the feeling I'm doing something wrong here but I can't figure out what. I have looked at both the source and the code but that's not helping. The curent_user.google_api_token I generate using omniauth-google-oauth2. Help would be greatly appreciated!

Indeed, Garb::Session.access_token should be an instance of OAuth2::AccessToken instead of a raw String.

Hm, would be nice if Garb would handle the initialization of the AccssToken object. I might invest a few hours into that next tuesday.

That I think wouldn't be feasible as Garb doesn't "know" enough to initialize OAuth2::AccessToken.
This should be done by yourself by providing things like OAuth2::Client instance and appropriate options to the initializer.

Ah, oke, seems legit. Maybe the documentation in the readme could use some clarification on using OAuth access tokens with Garb. I think this issue should be closed now, thanks for your quick reply!

Just a side note, a good way to generate that token is suggested on StackOverflow by Brandon Tilley: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5675029/how-to-use-omniauth-to-make-authenticated-calls-to-services
