MSAL.js infinite loop, not calling Microsoft Sign-In Page

I am trying really hard to make MSAL work with Vanilla JavaScript, but it just doesn't work.
Whenever I am trying to click the Sign In button on the Login Page, the Login page just refreshes and nothing happens, the Microsoft Sign In Page is not being shown.
Also no errors are logged to console.
After clicking the Sign In button for like 200 or more times and page refreshing that many times, the Microsoft Sign In page shows up and then it works fine.

Is there a way to execute spreadsheets.values.update without OAuth authentication?

I'm making a discord bot that will be open to the public to use, and it will work by updating a google spreadsheet with values given in a command. Unfortunately, from what I see in the API documentation's "Try this API" feature, I can only use Google OAuth v2. Using an API key as a form of authentication gives me the error: Request is missing required authentication credential. Expected OAuth 2 access token, login cookie or other valid authentication credential. See https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/web/devconsole-project. How can I make it so that a user doesn't need to sign in for this to work?
This is the code:
function authenticate() {
return gapi.auth2.getAuthInstance()
.signIn({scope: "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets"})
.then(function() { console.log("Sign-in successful"); },
function(err) { console.error("Error signing in", err); });
}
function loadClient() {
return gapi.client.load("https://content.googleapis.com/discovery/v1/apis/sheets/v4/rest")
.then(function() { console.log("GAPI client loaded for API"); },
function(err) { console.error("Error loading GAPI client for API", err); });
}
// Make sure the client is loaded and sign-in is complete before calling this method.
function execute() {
return gapi.client.sheets.spreadsheets.values.update({
"spreadsheetId": "1AFCiplLlZRdO5Phb4DUh8M8sKKnUimJftVDGH9UAA3M",
"range": "Ratings!H2",
"valueInputOption": "RAW",
"resource": {
"values": [
[
7.5
]
]
}
})
.then(function(response) {
// Handle the results here (response.result has the parsed body).
console.log("Response", response);
},
function(err) { console.error("Execute error", err); });
}
gapi.load("client:auth2", function() {
gapi.auth2.init({client_id: YOUR_CLIENT_ID});
});
Thank you if you can help me, this has been stumping me for a while now.

AngularFire (Angular + Firebase) Authentication Error delay

I found out something weird. Please help!
$scope.login = function() {
ref.authWithPassword({
email: $scope.user.email,
password: $scope.user.password
}, function(error, authData) {
if (error) {
console.log("Login Failed!", error);
$scope.message = error.toString();
} else {
$location.path('/meetings');
console.log("Authenticated successfully with payload:", authData);
}
});
} //login
This is a login function and it works nicely.However, the thing is that I get error 3, 4 sec after I have submitted the login. I noticed that my {{message}} is not being updated immediately after I receive value at $scope.message . I thought Angular should show that value as soon as it changes. ?
After I click for the second time, I get the error showed.
This is where I am printing the value:
<p class="error formerror" ng-show="message">{{message}}</p>

You're calling authWithPassword, which is part of Firebase's regular JavaScript SDK. This API will start the authentication process and call your function when the authentication completes. Unfortunately at that point AngularJS is no longer aware of any updates you make to $scope.
To make AngularJS aware of the update, wrap your code in a $timeout call:
$scope.login = function() {
ref.authWithPassword({
email: $scope.user.email,
password: $scope.user.password
}, function(error, authData) {
$timeout(function() {
if (error) {
console.log("Login Failed!", error);
$scope.message = error.toString();
} else {
$location.path('/meetings');
console.log("Authenticated successfully with payload:", authData);
}
});
});
} //login
Note that precisely for this reason, AngularFire provides convenience wrappers around these authentication functions in its $firebaseAuth service. See the section in the AngularFire guide on logging users in.
The wrapper function you're looking for is $authWithPassword, read a sample of how to use $authWithPassword in its API documentation.

Meteor: Login over DDP and retrieve current user object in seperate Meteor app

First a little background:
I am working on an seperate mobile application that is connected with the main app. The connection is succesfully initiated and I can retrieve all collections, through subscriptions:
Remote = DDP.connect('http://localhost:3000/');
Meteor.users = new Meteor.Collection('users', {
connection: Remote
});
Remote.subscribe('users', true);
Now I want to make sure users can log in through the interface of the second app. After installing the accounts-password and the meteor-ddp-login package, I should be able to authenticate with the main app by using the next piece of code in the client side.
var Remote = DDP.connect('http://localhost:3000/');
DDP.loginWithPassword(Remote, {
username: username
}, password, function(error) {
if (!error) {
console.log(username + " is logged in!");
} else {
console.log(error);
}
});
Well, so far so good. No errors appear and the console logs a success message. Now the question comes:
How can I retrieve the user object of the user who just logged in.
I've set up several publish functions in the main app, but the user data does not become available to the client in the second app (other collections work fine, but Meteor.user() is undefined).
And also: How can I authenticate users who login with Facebook/Google/Twitter

Came across this, I had a similar need recently. Following code works in Meteor version 1.2.0.2
if (Meteor.isClient) {
Meteor.startup(function(){
//Seems that without this, on page refresh, it doesn't work.
//COMMENT: Ideally this should not be needed if the core takes care of this use case of a different connection for Accounts
//hack block 1***********
var token = Accounts._storedLoginToken();
if(token) {
Meteor.loginWithToken(token, function(err){
// this is going to throw error if we logged out
if(err)
console.log(err);
else
console.log('loginWithToken');
});//loginWithToken
}
//hack block 1***********
});//startup function
var connection = DDP.connect("http://localhost:3060");
Accounts.connection= connection;
//COMMENT: Ideally this should not be needed if the core takes care of this use case of a different connection for Accounts
//hack block 2***********
Accounts.users = new Meteor.Collection('users', {
connection: connection
});
//hack block 2***********
Tracker.autorun(function () {
//No code which directly affects the functionality. Just for testing
console.log(Meteor.user());
Accounts.connection.call('user',function(err,result){
if(err)
console.log(err);
if(result){
console.log(result);
if(result._id === Meteor.user()._id){
console.log("Server and client shows that the same user has logged in");
} else {console.log("Server and client shows different users");}
}
})
});
Template.register.events({
'submit #register-form' : function(e, t) {
e.preventDefault();
var email = t.find('#account-email').value
, password = t.find('#account-password').value;
Accounts.createUser({email:email,password:password}, function(err,result){
if (err) {
// Inform the user that account creation failed
console.log(err);
} else {
// Success. Account has been created and the user
// has logged in successfully.
console.log("registered user");
console.log('response is '+ result);
console.log(Meteor.user());
}
});//createUser
return false;
}
});//register
Template.login.events({
'submit #login-form': function(e,t){
e.preventDefault();
var email = t.find('#login-email').value
, password = t.find('#login-password').value;
Meteor.loginWithPassword(email, password, function(err){
if (err)
console.log(err);
else
// The user has been logged in.
console.log('logged in successfully');
});
return false;
}
});//login
Template.statusloggedin.events({
'click #logout': function(e,t){
e.preventDefault();
Meteor.logout();
return false;
}
});//logout
}

Facebook on PhoneGap/Cordova -- File protocol?

Have searched everywhere for this without luck. I'm getting this error when running PhoneGap app on device (works fine in browser):
Given URL is not allowed by the Application configuration.: One or more of the given URLs is not allowed by the App's settings. It must match the Website URL or Canvas URL, or the domain must be a subdomain of one of the App's domains.
This is because I haven't added the host to the facebook app configuration. BUT, PhoneGap/Cordova accesses the app through the file:/// protocol, so there's no domain for me to add to Facebook.
Potential options: 1) Figure out how to use a cordova native plugin (this is hard because we're using Parse), 2) Switch Cordova to use localhost instead of file:// (not sure how to do this).

I've been down this road and ultimately went with option #1. Since we're not really dealing with a website there is no domain to add. Cordova needs to use file:// I don't think there is any way around it. The trick with using the plugin is keeping the login status in sync with Parse (use Parse.FacebookUtils.logIn). He's some code that should help you out. This is how I check the login status:
try {
console.log("Trying to get FB login status");
return FB.getLoginStatus(function(response) {
var accessToken, currentView, expDate, facebookAuthData, uid, user;
console.log(response);
if (response.status === "connected") {
uid = response.authResponse.userID;
accessToken = response.authResponse.accessToken;
console.log("Logged in!");
user = Parse.User.current();
if (user != null) {
console.log("we have a user");
} else {
console.log("we don't have a user... need to login with parse");
expDate = new Date(response.authResponse.expirationTime);
facebookAuthData = {
id: response.authResponse.userID + "",
access_token: response.authResponse.accessToken,
expiration_date: expDate.toISOString()
};
Parse.FacebookUtils.logIn(facebookAuthData, {
success: function(_user) {
return console.log("Logged in with Parse!");
},
error: function(error1, error2) {
return console.log("Unable to create/login as Facebook user");
}
});
}
} else {
// not logged in to fb...
}
});
} catch (e) {
return console.log(e);
}
Here's how I handle logins:
return FB.Event.subscribe("auth.authResponseChange", function(response) {
var expDate, facebookAuthData;
if (response.status === "connected") {
console.log(response.status);
try {
expDate = new Date(response.authResponse.expirationTime);
facebookAuthData = {
id: response.authResponse.userID + "",
access_token: response.authResponse.accessToken,
expiration_date: expDate.toISOString()
};
return Parse.FacebookUtils.logIn(facebookAuthData, {
success: function(_user) {
//return window.location.hash = "loginsuccess";
},
error: function(error1, error2) {
console.log("Unable to create/login to as Facebook user");
}
});
} catch (ex) {
return console.log("parse login error " + ex);
}
} else if (response.status === "not_authorized") {
// handle not auth event
} else {
// take them home?
}
});
}
