Meteor OAuth Exception while invoking method 'login'

Question

While trying to login using the Meteor packages accounts-facebook and accounts-google, I'm getting an OAuth handler exception. Packages accounts-twitter appears to work fine and logs in perfectly. I haven't written any code, this is right out of the box using the accounts-ui package

The front end simply says "Internal Server Error" in red text, and the Meteor stack trace is the following:

Exception in oauth request handler [Error: failed]

I'm running the Meteor app on my own infrastructure with a working domain name. Any idea what's going on?

Answer 1

I had the same issue, and it turned out my service was not configured correctly, specifically I had the wrong Facebook app secret. Go into your mongo shell and check your meteor_accounts_loginServiceConfiguration to ensure it's set up correctly. Start up Meteor, then go into the mongo shell via meteor mongo Then type 'db.meteor_accounts_loginServiceConfiguration.find()' to show the documents in that collection. Now check your Facebook document to ensure it matches the app you created on Facebook exactly.

I did this and everything worked immediately.

Sorry for that. Our error reporting in these cases sucked. A fix is coming out in the soon-to-be-released Meteor 0.6.2.
