'TokenError: Bad Request; Google OAuth2; Passport.js on Node.js; Able to console.log data, however delivers error
I am attempting to use Passport.js to authorize Google OAuth2 on Node.js. I have tried all week to make it work and have no idea why it isn't, so am now resorting to stack for some potential help. I have tried all solutions to similar problems available on forums online.
Each time it sends the request it returns TokenError: Bad Request, however, it is able to console.log the required data, so this to me demonstrates that the token was in fact successful. I cannot explain why this is occurring.
I have tried being more specific in callback request e.g http://localhost:3000/auth/google/redirect. I have tried every other type of Oauth type google has Node server, web application, html ect. I have tried different ports.
AUTH ROUTES
const router = require('express').Router();
const passport = require('passport');
// auth login
router.get('/login', (req, res) => {
res.render('login', { user: req.user });
});
// auth logout
router.get('/logout', (req, res) => {
// handle with passport
res.send('logging out');
});
// auth with google+
router.get('/google', passport.authenticate('google', {
scope: ['profile']
}));
// callback route for google to redirect to
// hand control to passport to use code to grab profile info
router.get('/google/redirect', passport.authenticate('google'),
(req,
res) => {
res.send('you reached the redirect URI');
});
module.exports = router;
PASSPORT_SETUP
const passport = require('passport');
const GoogleStrategy = require('passport-google-oauth20').Strategy;
const keys = require('./keys');
passport.use(
new GoogleStrategy({
// options for google strategy
clientID: keys.google.clientID,
clientSecret: keys.google.clientSecret,
callbackURL: '/auth/google/redirect'
}, (accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) => {
// passport callback function
console.log('passport callback function fired:');
console.log(profile);
})
);
When submitted the process progresses through SignIn page, delivers desired result the console.log and then just sits for about 1 minute awaiting localhost.
As you can see the very thing it is trying to retrieve is already in the console.

It then progresses to throw and Error:
