client_secret.json is empty upon download from google developer site - ruby

Question

I am trying to download the client_secret.json from google API. I am following the steps listed in https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/quickstart/ruby.
Use this wizard to create or select a project in the Google Developers Console and automatically enable the API.
In the sidebar on the left, select Consent screen. Select an EMAIL ADDRESS and enter a PRODUCT NAME if not already set and click the Save button.
In the sidebar on the left, select Credentials and click Create new Client ID.
Select the application type Installed application, the installed application type Other, and click the Create Client ID button.
Click the Download JSON button under your new client ID. Move this file to your working directory and rename it client_secret.json.
The client_secret.json file does download but it is empty. The title of the file looks like it must be the client_id ending in apps.googleusercontent.com however there is no data stored inside the file.

Answer 1

I assume this just pre-populates the json for you. If you check out API Client Library for Ruby (Alpha) - Client Secrets, you should be able to manually create it with the information on the same page that offers the "DOWNLOAD JSON" button.
Although this says it is for Ruby, I don't think the json format would be any different for other languages.
Here is a snippet of the example from the above Google Reference URL:
Here is an example client_secrets.json file for a web application:
{
"web": {
"client_id": "asdfjasdljfasdkjf",
"client_secret": "1912308409123890",
"redirect_uris": ["https://www.example.com/oauth2callback"],
"auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
"token_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token"
}
}
Here is an example client_secrets.json file for an installed application:
{
"installed": {
"client_id": "837647042410-75ifg...usercontent.com",
"client_secret":"asdlkfjaskd",
"redirect_uris": ["http://localhost", "urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob"],
"auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
"token_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token"
}
}
