Bug 414219

It seems I can reproduce this in KDE neon 5.17, Plasma 5.17.3, Frameworks 5.64.0, Qt 5.13.2.
New Google accounts added from System Settings > Personalization > Online Accounts won't actually have their username appear either (Screenshot: https://i.fiery.me/bGl8.png).
The account did not use 2FA.

Can reproduce, something broke :/

Not a kio-gdrive bug. The problem is that kaccounts fails to add the Google account. Details of the issue at https://gitlab.com/accounts-sso/signon-ui/issues/2

Moving to kaccounts-provider for now. We need to figure out if the problem is on our side (kaccounts-provider) or is an upstream issue (signon-ui).

I do receive an email from Google letting me know that "KDE KAccounts Provider was granted access to your Google Account"  so the login actually works, from Google's perspective.

Is it relevant that when I enter an incorrect password, I immediately fail (Wrong password. Try again or click Forgot password to reset it.), but when I enter a correct password, I get an empty Web authentication for google window, and when I close that window, I get and Unable to finish -- System Settings Module window with: There was an error while trying to process the request: Access grant not present

I see the empty window a lot, I just keep hitting refresh/reload; I suspect that's unrelated.

Tried again today and I could add my account without any issue. Weird.

That's truly bizarre, it's working for me now, too.  Something very weird was going-on there, as Google clearly thought is was working both before & now.

Still not working for me. In addition to kio-gdrive and kaccounts-provider are there any other dependencies?

Marco is correct, it seems only my KDE Neon (Stable Version 5.17.3)is working properly.  My Kubuntu 18.04 LTS laptop is still failing.

Manjaro KDE 18.1.4
kaccounts-providers not work.
Not loggin in google accaount.

Same for me.  It seems the kde gdrive application is not yet approved by google.
Can you do something for it.

see printscreen at :  http://imaginasys.fastmail.fm/gdrive_not_approved.png

messages are in french. It just says that google connection is disabled for that application because it has not been verified by google yet.

Nope, the two issues are unrelated.

Maybe the KCM should set some default name if the username cannot be retrieved for whatever reason?
That would at least serve as a workaround, and should not be difficult to implement I suppose.

PS: I'll post a workaround here as well, to be able to use kio-gdrive despite of this problem.

- Run "sqlite3 ~/.config/libaccounts-glib/accounts.db"
- Enter "select * from Accounts;" to get the id of the account
- Enter "update Accounts set name="username" where id=1;" to set a username and
it should work. (replace 1 with the actual id, the username is actually
irrelevant and can be anything, it's just used to display the account in the
settings and kio-gdrive)

I maybe should add that the id is the first number in the output of the select statement.

Thanks, Wolfgang, this workaround resolved this issue for me!

I looked a bit more into this now.
This is the code that sets the account name (in kaccounts-integration/src/jobs/createaccount.cpp, line :
 if (m_account->displayName().isEmpty()) {
     m_account->setDisplayName(info.userName());
 }

info.userName() is an empty string here, and that breaks things.

But, this is only used for display purposes, not for the actual authentification (that's why the workaround in comment#18 actually works). So we could just use any other string here to fix this bug.

Proof-of-Concept "patch":
sed -i 's/m_account->setDisplayName(info.userName());/m_account->setDisplayName(QString("Account%1").arg(info.id()));/' src/jobs/createaccount.cpp
That would set the account name to "Account123" or similar.
(or maybe use QString("%1%2").arg(info.caption().arg(info.id()), that would give something like "google123" ;-) )

Of course one could also only do that if info.userName() is actually empty as well (i.e. what I suggested in comment#17).

Small corrections:

A bracket is missing there, should be:
QString("%1%2").arg(info.caption()).arg(info.id())
;-)

[CreateAccount job] Never set an empty name when creating an account

At least when creating a google account, signon-ui isn't able to extract
the username from the login page anymore since a couple of months (and
newer versions ported to QtWebEngine don't even extract it at all
anymore because it was considered to be too fragile, which apparently
proved to be true...).

This looks kind of broken, and actually made kio-gdrive useless as that
doesn't even list accounts with an empty name.

To fix it, set the name to some arbitrary string in the case that
info.userName() is empty.
