UnknownAPINameOrVersion Issue

[Investigamer]

For some reason PyDrive2 stopped authenticating in the latest release of my app even though I haven't changed ANYTHING about my PyDrive setup since last release. The weird thing is, authentication works absolutely fine running the app with Python in IDE, but as soon as I build as an exe with Pyinstaller, the exe version throws this error. The only change I can think of is I upgraded from Python 3.8 to 3.10.5. This is the error I'm getting:

File "proxyshop\core.py", line 385, in authenticate_user
   File "pydrive2\auth.py", line 136, in _decorated
   File "pydrive2\auth.py", line 626, in Auth
   File "pydrive2\auth.py", line 671, in Authorize
   File "googleapiclient\_helpers.py", line 130, in positional_wrapper
   File "googleapiclient\discovery.py", line 287, in build
   File "googleapiclient\discovery.py", line 404, in _retrieve_discovery_doc
 googleapiclient.errors.UnknownApiNameOrVersion: name: drive  version: v2

This is my yaml config:

client_config_backend: settings
client_config:
 client_id: *secret*
 client_secret: *secret*

save_credentials: True
save_credentials_backend: file
save_credentials_file: proxyshop/gauth.json

get_refresh_token: True
oauth_scope:
 - https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.readonly

This is the authentication setup:

def authenticate_user():
   """
   Create a GoogleDrive object using on-file gauth token or create
   a new one by getting permission from the user.
   @return: GoogleDrive object to use for downloads.
   """
   try:
       # Create gauth file if it doesn't exist yet
       if not os.path.exists(os.path.join(os.getcwd(), "proxyshop/gauth.json")):
           with open(os.path.join(os.getcwd(), "proxyshop/gauth.json"), 'w', encoding="utf-8") as fp:
               fp.write("")

       # Authenticate, fetch file and metadata
       auth = GoogleAuth(os.path.join(os.getcwd(), "proxyshop/gdrive.yaml"))
       auth.LocalWebserverAuth()
       return GoogleDrive(auth)

   except pydrive2.auth.AuthenticationRejected: return None
   except pydrive2.auth.AuthenticationError: return None

I also tried switching to the current developer version of pydrive2 and having the same issue :(

EDIT: I discovered the cause of the issue. The built version is unable to locate the discovery file "drive.v2.json", what is the standard practice for having this file included via pyinstaller?

EDIT2: In the Pydrive2 source if I pass static_discovery=False here it fixes the issue:

self.service = build(
    "drive", "v2", http=self.http, cache_discovery=False, static_discovery=False
) 

Is there a way to modify this setting without changing the pydrive2 source code?

@MrTeferi please take a look here iterative/dvc#5618 - I think it's the same problem.

Here is how it was fixed in that case iterative/dvc#5619

[shcheklein]

static_discovery=False

I'm not familiar to be honest, in DVC we include drive.v2.json as far as I know. If you up to this, you can do some research and we can consider changing this option. But we need to know better what does it mean and what are the consequences.

So I took a look at the fix you linked, I toyed around with it a bit and this is the method that worked for me:

• Created a path called "hooks" in my project directory
• Added that path to hookspath parameter in the Analysis object of my spec file, ex:
  hookspath=["projectname/hooks"]
• Created a file in the hooks directory called hook-googleapiclient.model.py
• The file looks like this:

"""
Google API Client, Discovery Hook
"""

from PyInstaller.utils.hooks import (
    collect_data_files
)

datas = collect_data_files("googleapiclient.discovery_cache")

This worked for me, cheers!

I guess it might be time to contribute this to pyinstaller 🙂 We had https://github.com/iterative/dvc/blob/main/scripts/pyinstaller/hooks/hook-googleapiclient.model.py and https://github.com/iterative/dvc/blob/main/scripts/pyinstaller/hooks/hook-pydrive2.py for years and had contributed other hooks, but just not those yet.
