google drive authentication problem

[agronomofiorentini]

Dear Creators,
First of all thank you to have develop this amazing package.

I have a virtual machine set up to be able to access google earth engine using the rgee package

Before to start the authentication with google earth engine i would like to authenticate me by using the googledrive R package, because i will store all the data inside of it.

when I run the code manually it works perfectly but when I run a cron jobs with the cronr package the code gives me the following error.

<error/rlang_error>
Error in `googledrive::drive_auth()`:
! Can't get Google credentials.
ℹ Are you running googledrive in a non-interactive session? Consider:
• Call `drive_deauth()` to prevent the attempt to get credentials.
• Call `drive_auth()` directly with all necessary specifics.
ℹ See gargle's "Non-interactive auth" vignette for more details:
ℹ <https://gargle.r-lib.org/articles/non-interactive-auth.html>

while when I run the code manually this is the result

How can i fix this?

this is the code that i am using to autheticate me

googledrive::drive_auth(email ="useremail@gmail.com")

rgee::ee_Initialize(drive=T, 
                     user="useremail@gmail.com",
                     auth_quiet = T)

I have tried also to use the token and save it as RDS and load when the cron job start, but dind't work.

token<-gargle::credentials_user_oauth2(scopes, client = gargle::gargle_client())

If you need more information, i am here always available.

Thanks again
