How can I solve this error: Property 'refresh_token' does not exist on type 'object'?
Hello, I am trying to make a replica in Typescript of the Dropbox webhook (that converts md files to html) that was built in Python. I copy-pasted the authentication flow from this example and I had...
AdnanL Thanks. That output looks correct and should allow the code to get the "token.result.refresh_token" value. When you say you "did not run the script before I posted this issue", do you mean that when you originally posted this and said you "reached this error that I couldn't solve", that was only a warning you saw in your IDE, and not an error occurring during execution? It sounds like this was just a TypeScript type warning, and not something preventing this code from running properly. Is that correct?
By the way, for future reference, do not post your full access or refresh token values like this. I've redacted them from your screenshot now.
Thanks for the replies,Greg-DB Здравко.
This is all the code in my file: https://www.toptal.com/developers/hastebin/basayuhope.typescript, what I am trying to do is to attack dropbox accounts to my dropbox app (A replica of the webhook example by dropbox).
I am using Node.js 16.13.1 with Dropbox version 10.24.0, the API was different from the example so I had to create a new instance of the DropboxAuth class and change some function names and alter some parameters that were passed to the functions, no big deal.

Dropbox StaffAdnanL Thanks for following up. Can you indicate what you're getting in the console though? Specifically, the "Token Result" value being logged on line 53 from the code you shared. Please don't show actual full access/refresh token values however.

Yes Greg-DB, it was just a TS warning. Here is my progress so far: https://www.toptal.com/developers/hastebin/rijajosiwa.coffeescript, everything works in this /auth route script. But I still have some problems:
First, when I click on Allow the auth route runs and I get the expected console logs but it stays in a reload status and doesn't redirect me to any page afterward.
and second, when I go to the connected apps I can find my app as shown here but not in the https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps page.
Third thing, the app doesn't create any new folder in the Apps folder, or should I do that manually?
I hope you won't mind the long message and thank you very much for your valuable help.
