Fixes #10673.

verify_credentials opened the client secret file outside any error handling, so an invalid file (e.g. not JSON, empty, a directory, unreadable or nested past the parser's recursion limit) came back as a 500. A missing or non-string client_secret_file crashed in unquote() the same way.

The open and json.load are now guarded: unparseable content answers 400 "The client secret file is not a valid Google OAuth client secret JSON file.", and an unreadable file answers 400 "The client secret file could not be read." Both branches clear the cached Google session like the not-found path. Missing, empty and non-string values answer the existing "Client secret path not found". The file is read as UTF-8, JSON shape stays with google-auth, and the wizard shows the server's message on a 4xx and re-disables Next.

Test plan

  • New misc.cloud.google.tests.test_google_verify_credentials_invalid_secret: the invalid-file and missing-key cases fail on master with the reported 500s. 18 passed with the fix.
  • --pkg misc.cloud.google.tests --exclude resql (34 passed) against PostgreSQL 17, same on Windows 11 with Python 3.12.
  • pycodestyle clean.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved Google credential verification for invalid, unreadable, or malformed secret files, with clearer error messages and session cleanup after validation failures.
    • Google authentication errors now display the server-provided message when available, with a fallback for other failures.

Walkthrough

Google credential verification now handles invalid client-secret paths and files with explicit error responses. The browser displays server-provided authentication errors when available and resets credential-verification state after a failed request.

Verification handles absent and non-string paths, reads secret files as UTF-8, and returns errors for file-read and JSON parsing failures. Tests cover response behavior, path resolution, valid credentials, and session cleanup.
Report authentication errors

The browser uses a server-provided authentication error when available, resets credential-verification state, and rejects with the selected message. Tests cover server and fallback errors.

The change fixes the HTTP 500 for unreadable or unparseable client-secret files. A file with valid JSON but invalid OAuth structure still returns HTTP 200 with an error message, which the wizard displays correctly. This is a small contract gap that can be addressed in a follow-up or before merge.

Explanation

The backend changes, invalid-secret tests, and Google wizard error handling directly support issue #10673. The JavaScript change displays the server error and resets credential verification after a 4xx response. No unrelated change is established by the reviewed diff.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #10673 requires a normal HTTP 400 response for a client-secret file that is invalid JSON, not UTF-8, or has an invalid Google OAuth structure. The new file-reading code returns 400 for malformed JSON, UTF-8 errors, recursion errors, and selected read errors. It handles missing, empty, and non-string paths without the former unquote() failure. However, the added valid JSON without auth_uri scenario expects status 200 and only checks a Google Auth error. The implementation therefore does not return the required HTTP 400 invalid-secret response for an invalid client-secret structure.

Resolution

Return the invalid-client-secret message with HTTP 400 when Google OAuth client-secret structure validation fails. Clear the cached Google session on this path. Update the missing-key test to assert status 400 and the required error message.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 14.29% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 7 functions across 4 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Return HTTP 400 for invalid OAuth structure.

Google Auth can reject valid JSON that lacks required OAuth fields. verify_credentials returns HTTP 200 for that error, but issue #10673 requests HTTP 400. Return 400 for structure errors detected by Google Auth, and update the valid JSON without auth_uri test expectation.
