Google API Client “refresh token must be passed in or set as part of setAccessToken”

by

I got the same problem recently and i solved it with this.

<?php
 $client->setRedirectUri($this->_redirectURI);
 $client->setAccessType('offline');
 $client->setApprovalPrompt('force');

I explain …..
Refresh token is not returned because we didnt force the approvalPrompt. The offline mode is not enought. We must force the approvalPrompt. Also the redirectURI must be set before these two options. It worked for me.

This is my full function

<?php
     private function getClient()
     {
        $client = new Google_Client();
        $client->setApplicationName($this->projectName);
        $client->setScopes(SCOPES);
        $client->setAuthConfig($this->jsonKeyFilePath);
        $client->setRedirectUri($this->redirectUri);
        $client->setAccessType('offline');
        $client->setApprovalPrompt('force');

       // Load previously authorized credentials from a file.
       if (file_exists($this->tokenFile)) {
         $accessToken = json_decode(file_get_contents($this->tokenFile), 
         true);
      } else {
        // Request authorization from the user.
        $authUrl = $client->createAuthUrl();
        header('Location: ' . filter_var($authUrl, FILTER_SANITIZE_URL));

        if (isset($_GET['code'])) {
            $authCode = $_GET['code'];
            // Exchange authorization code for an access token.
            $accessToken = $client->fetchAccessTokenWithAuthCode($authCode);
            header('Location: ' . filter_var($this->redirectUri, 
            FILTER_SANITIZE_URL));
            if(!file_exists(dirname($this->tokenFile))) {
                mkdir(dirname($this->tokenFile), 0700, true);
            }

            file_put_contents($this->tokenFile, json_encode($accessToken));
        }else{
            exit('No code found');
        }
    }
    $client->setAccessToken($accessToken);

    // Refresh the token if it's expired.
    if ($client->isAccessTokenExpired()) {

        // save refresh token to some variable
        $refreshTokenSaved = $client->getRefreshToken();

        // update access token
        $client->fetchAccessTokenWithRefreshToken($refreshTokenSaved);

        // pass access token to some variable
        $accessTokenUpdated = $client->getAccessToken();

        // append refresh token
        $accessTokenUpdated['refresh_token'] = $refreshTokenSaved;

        //Set the new acces token
        $accessToken = $refreshTokenSaved;
        $client->setAccessToken($accessToken);

        // save to file
        file_put_contents($this->tokenFile, 
       json_encode($accessTokenUpdated));
    }
    return $client;
}
