Error with tidyverse and googledrive package

[kikislater]

Sometimes connection through R to google drive doesn't work. Some errors are reported like :

Loading required package: googledrive
Error in eval(parse(text = paste0("self$handler(", handler_params, ")"))) :  
attempt to apply non-function

or

Loading required package: googledrive
Error in self$handler(email = "xxxx@gmail.com", token = "") : 
  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:

It seems difficult for the user to connect anymore to google drive. I think it should be documented ... User have to go to:

Google API Console => identifiants => API keys

And create a new API key

Official documentation : https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2

did you try to update tidyverse package? what are the versions of tidyverse / google drive on your machine?

Yes but it's not me at this time... Last time it was a mess to find it !
As it's a discussion, it's not a bug but a feedback ...

@bastienird and @juldebar have experimented the same issue, to keep track of it, and see what we can do.
