Can't sign into Google using Google plugin for

Question

I am using Eclipse Luna and I recently installed the Google plugin for Eclipse to deploy apps to the Google app engine.

I tried signing into Google services and was able to get past the password prompt and 2-step verification screen successfully. After that I get the permissions screen where I click 'Accept'.

After I click 'Accept' however nothing happens and the window goes blank. I've waited for like an hour and yet it just stays like that.

I have tried using a different Eclipse workspace, a different Eclipse installation (Luna), a different Google account which doesn't have 2-step authentication but I get the same result.

I have even checked the Eclipse log file and there are no entries made at time I tried signing in.

I've searched around but couldn't find anything related to this. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

There were some bugs in the oAuth flow when you encountered this. We fixed all the ones we knew about last year. GPE login should be working now, but if not you can also try the newer Google Cloud Tools for Eclipse.

Answer 2

I faced the same issue with next configuration

• Windows 8.1
• JDK 7 and 8
• Eclipse Luna
• Google Plugin for Eclipse 4.4
• GWT SDK 2.6
• App Engine SDK 1.9

I think that something wrong with Google plugin, so here my Windows command line workaround:

1. Download and install external tools: App Engine SDK, Apache Ant. At moment of writing this text Google App Engine doesn't support Java 8, so you need install Java 7 and configure JAVA_HOME environment variable accordingly.

2. Add to PATH environment variable paths to bin folders of App Engine and Ant.

3. Run command line and go to folder of your Eclipse project. Note that your project must be configured with Ant and build.xml file must be inside your project's folder.

4. Type ant build command and wait until successful compilation.

5. Configure your application ID via Eclipse or edit file war\WEB-INF\appengine-web.xml and set appropriate value into <application> tag.

6. Type app cfg update war It may run your browser, ask you credentials and ask to paste generated key.

7. After successful deploy navigate to your_application_id.appspot.com

8. Enjoy.

Answer 4

I had exactly the same problem ( Ubuntu 16.04 LTS )

To solve it I went to Eclipse Market Place and installed Google Cloud Tools for Eclipse 1.1.0

I accepted all the items to be installed

When I finished the installation, I restarted Eclipse, reopened it, clicked the Google icon in the bottom right corner, and logged in to the Chrome browser (It opens Chrome automatically).

This way I managed to make the connection.

I hope this can help !
