'Add account' doesn't work

[turb1te]

I'm new to this software. When I clicked "Add Account/Next" nothing happened. I tried to restart the software but no change. On the first try, it passes (from email) to the password but NEXT button doesn't work the second time (when I typed my password). Then I clicked "save" and tried again, it doesn't accept the email the second time.

I noticed the UI of the page is different. On the old UI, it works. Old Google log-in interface.

Sorry for my English.

Hi @turb1te

It seems to be working for me. In your provided log file I do see this interesting bit YouTubeSignIn [loading-page=???? � Google ???????] which is a maybe sign of unicode. I'm wondering since your GitHub profile says Bulgaria that maybe language has a cause in this. The sign in process checks the page title for text Success code=. I'm not sure if it changes language or is always English. However, I don't see anything resembling a success code in the log output and also don't see any errors. The success code would come after the password step which you don't seem to be able to get past.

I am using the standard oauth2 url for the sign in process

youtube-comment-suite/src/main/java/io/mattw/youtube/commentsuite/oauth2/OAuth2Manager.java

Lines 36 to 37 in f45204b

	public static final String WEB_LOGIN_URL = String.format("https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?client_id=%s&redirect_uri=%s&&response_type=code&&scope=%s",
	CLIENT_ID, UTF8UrlEncoder.encode(REDIRECT_URI), UTF8UrlEncoder.encode("https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.force-ssl"));

Could you give more detail about the page UI thing?

Hi @mattwright324,

Yes, I'm from Bulgaria and we use Cyrillic. But I always use the English language everywhere. My OS lang is set to EN-US, my Google account too. For that reason when I typed my email it changes the language to English when it asks me for my password. I think that it starts with the Bulgarian (bg) language first because of my IP location. I will send you a video to see the UI thing: (it changes from the old (that one before several years) to the new one)

(I tried to change the language to EN-US the second time but this doesn't help)

Certainly doesn't look right.

What is your specific Java version? java -version
Could also help to see the locale settings java -XshowSettings

Locale settings:
    default locale = English (United States)
    default display locale = English (United States)
    default format locale = English (United States)

Still looking into this, having trouble trying to reproduce it locally.

Seems like your java version and locale stuff is fine.

@mattwright324

Look at this: https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZjeddXZpzabpfqY3oQfRqzR9QBrXRJvVJhX

I think cookies are the problem. What do you think?

[mattwright324]

I managed to reproduce the issue in a vm. It seems it may be caused by something with the java distribution, maybe there was a regression in the Oracle version. If you instead use the Bellsoft Liberica Full (includes necessary javafx dependency) then it seems to work. Standard doesn't work since I think it doesn't include javafx.

Download page
https://bell-sw.com/pages/downloads/

Direct link to full-JRE download
https://download.bell-sw.com/java/8u302+8/bellsoft-jre8u302+8-windows-amd64-full.msi

Part of the issue is that I'm using the embedded javafx browser which is at the mercy of the jdk/jre distribution and version as well as likely not really supported by Google. I've tried looking into alternatives, preferably ones that use the system's default browser instead, but have not had much luck yet.

[mattwright324]

It does appear to be the latest Oracle version with the issue,1.8.0_301. It also appears that downgrading back to 1.8.0_291 fixes the issue too.

If you don't want to use Bellsoft Liberica...
https://filehippo.com/download_jre-64/ (maybe not the best download location but the first one I found that worked)

[turb1te]

Thank you! I tried Bellsoft Liberica and it worked! But we have another problem...

A verified warning is expected. However, I don't expect that error to happen. If you scroll down what are the rest of the request details?

[turb1te]

This is everything. There is no button to continue.

[mattwright324]

It opens up to that page instantly? This won't do anything to add it into the app though I'm curious if you navigate to the url in your browser instead of the in-app browser if anything is different.

[mattwright324]

Trying it myself it may work as an alternative actually to open that url in the system browser. It would require an extra step from the user by Please copy this code but would probably be much more reliable. My original problem was how to get this code at the end since I can't hook into a browser tab to get it from the Success code= in the page title. However, it gives it to you to copy/paste as a user which would be fine with me.

It is the same.

I can't get here.
