Helper function to use httr's OAuth2.0 functions non-interactively, e.g. in test cases

To perform an automatic acknowledgement and log in for a local OAuth2.0 app, run by httr, wrap the expression that obtains the OAuth2.0 token in oauth2_httr_login().

Usage

oauth2_httr_login(expr)

Arguments

expr

Expression that calls httr::oauth2.0_token(), either directly, or indirectly.

Value

The return value of expr.

Details

In interactive sessions, oauth2_httr_login() overrides the browser option, and when httr opens a browser page, it calls oauth2_login() in a subprocess.

In non-interactive sessions, httr does not open a browser page, only messages the user to do it manually. oauth2_httr_login() listens for these messages, and calls oauth2_login() in a subprocess.
