I've been trying to access the Gmail API and followed all the steps available in the API documentation. However, I suspect the issue lies in running the script on WSL2. I supposed no browser interaction would be required when using the API.
When I run the script, the following appears: Terminal
After entering my credentials and hitting "Next," this is what I see:
Google
Couldn't sign you in
The browser you're using doesn't support JavaScript, or has JavaScript turned off.
The keep your Google Account secure, try signing in on a browser that has JavaScript turned on. Learn more
Terminal after hitting 'next'
There is also a 'failed' message followed by a big link, above the 'sign in' part.
Has anyone else encountered this issue?
