KeyError: '_module'

[abnx]

$ python uds.py list
Traceback (most recent call last):

KeyError: '_module'

installed all modules with 'pip install -r requirements.txt'
python 3.6

i generated a credentials.json from the linked google api page and downloaded it to the uds directory. this gave me an error so i renamed it to client_secrets.json like the readme suggests. am i doing something wrong? or it looks like oauth2client has problems? maybe i generated my credentials files wrong since it doesnt contain '_module'?
pls help

i also get this error

Could be because you named it 'client_secrets' and not 'client_secret'? If not I'll need to look into it more.

I also got the same error, and I'm sure it's "client_secret.json"..

[stewartmcgown]

Consensus on overflow seems to be that the keyerror is caused by incorrect JSON file. What is the structure of your JSON file? (Without any secrets showing)

[DessertArbiter]

i updated it and now it works

[DessertArbiter]

i think the reason it wasnt working before was that i didnt run it without arguments first

Note that you may get the same issue if the file is minified ; beautify it and it will work.
