Setting up Google Calendar: Error: getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN oauth2.googleapis.com

[ZXS]

Describe the problem/error/question

I’m trying to set up a Google Calendar workflow, so I set up credentials. I followed your instructions. I click on the “Sign In with Google”, a popover windows appears and chose my Google account. Then I get this error.

What is the error message (if any)?

Error: getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN oauth2.googleapis.com

Any idea on how to fix this? Thank you.

Please share your workflow

Hey @ZXS,

I just gave this a go on my install of n8n and it was working ok, Looking at the error message though it looks like it is a DNS issue. Can you check that your n8n container can resolve that address?

You can do this by running nslookup oauth2.googleapis.com in an execute command node, The output should be something like this…

Hi @Jon

Thank you! It was in fact a DNS issue. Not sure exactly what, something to do with Docker. I just restarted Docker and then worked well.
