System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file Exception credentials.json about dotnet-samples HOT 11 CLOSED

Hi zfima! Thanks for filing this issue. Could you provide more details? Are you using Visual Studio? Did you download a credentials.json file as part of your set up? A lot of our quickstarts have this as a step early

Another important step is to make sure if you are using VS is to make sure the file is in the Explorer:

• Drag credentials.json (downloaded in Step 1) into your Visual Studio Solution Explorer.
• Select credentials.json, and then go to the Properties window and set the Copy to Output Directory field to Copy always.

Hi
i use VS2017 professional
i did downloaded json file, of course
i did put allthis properties

json can be read with Assets.Open, but not with the FileStream

Hello, everyone, did you decide how to use FileStream in this case?

Closing due to inactivity. Let us know if the directions Anu provided no longer work.

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file Exception credentials.json
Same Exception occures when i tried to integrate google sheets in xamarin forms. here is the sample code

` static string[] Scopes = { SheetsService.Scope.SpreadsheetsReadonly };
static string ApplicationName = "Google Sheets API .NET Quickstart";

    public MainPage()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        GetExcelData();
    }

    private void GetExcelData()
    {
        UserCredential credential;
         string fileName = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData), "My Project-dc555efb493f.json");
       // var x = Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory, "My Project-dc555efb493f.json");
        using (var stream =
            new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
        {
            // The file token.json stores the user's access and refresh tokens, and is created
            // automatically when the authorization flow completes for the first time.
            string credPath = "token.json";
            credential = GoogleWebAuthorizationBroker.AuthorizeAsync(
                GoogleClientSecrets.Load(stream).Secrets,
                Scopes,
                "user",
                CancellationToken.None,
                new FileDataStore(credPath, true)).Result;
            Console.WriteLine("Credential file saved to: " + credPath);
        }`

This sample was only designed to work as a Console application, and won't function on Xamarin.

Thanks @erickoledadevrel
In the Console Application it was working fine.
Can i somehow able to run in the xamarin forms project by shared project or something?

Hi, gopalwasthi123 did you find a solution for this issue.

from dotnet-samples.

@Emsysindiakt No we can't have option to implement it with xamarin. I have implemented it in console app

from dotnet-samples.

still no solution it?

from dotnet-samples.

solution:
copy everything from credential.json file and do it like that.

GoogleCredential credential;
credential = GoogleCredential.FromJson("text from file");
