While developing the last example of a node.js's introductory book (an express.js application using authentication strategy by Google OpenID), after replacing the passport-google package (which got obsolete on April 20th, 2015) with passport-google-oauth2 package (authentication strategy by Google OAuth 2.0) and having followed the indications at its documentation's page and an example here; I got the below error after selecting my Google+ account, which was thrown by the oath2.js module, concretely calling this._oauth2.get("https://www.googleapis.com/plus/v1/people/me",...) within userProfile(accessToken, done) method. The related source code and module dependencies are below.
What could be the root of the problem?
The concrete error is:
InternalOAuthError: failed to fetch user profile

profile.identifier=profile.id;
return done(null, profile);

I just fortunately found a similar issue at jaredhanson/passport-google-oauth, which gave me the idea to go to the Google's project console and simply enable the Google+ API, which was "turned off" (oh me!!, naive developer of his first application based on Google+). That was the root of the problem. I tried again and the oauth2 started receiving profiles correctly.

The scope you are using is deprecated now :
passport.authenticate('google', { successRedirect: '/',scope: [ 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email']}) ); Instead, we must use this one:
passport.authenticate('google', { successRedirect: '/',scope: ['email'] })); You can also get the profile scope:
passport.authenticate('google', { successRedirect: '/',scope: [ 'email', 'profile' ] })); I'm using Google OAuth 2.0 Playground and in my case the reason for this error was that my token has simply expired. Refreshing it in Playground resolved the issue.
