When does this happen?
IF On Windows, the credentials file fails to load due to a duplicate drive letter prefix (e.g., 'C:\C:\...') in the resolved path.
How others solved it
THEN Modify the path construction logic to check if the path is already absolute (e.g., starts with a drive letter on Windows) before prepending a root. Use `path.resolve()` with `fileURLToPath(import.meta.url)` to compute the directory, then join relative paths normally. This ensures correct resolution on both Windows and Unix.
// Instead of manual string concatenation, use:
import { fileURLToPath } from 'url';
const __dirname = path.dirname(fileURLToPath(import.meta.url));
const keyfilePath = process.env.GDRIVE_OAUTH_PATH || path.resolve(__dirname, '../../../gcp-oauth.keys.json');
const credentialsPath = process.env.GDRIVE_CREDENTIALS_PATH || path.resolve(__dirname, '../../../.gdrive-server-credentials.json');Related patterns
