I’m newer to Elixir/Phoenix in general, but decided to give Ash a go because I really like the philosophy. However, I’m running into trouble setting up Google Oauth with Ash Authentication.

Actually, I set up magic link first using Igniter, but then realized in production, I can’t send emails yet, so I added password authentication. (This seemed to break magic link )

Now I’m trying to add Google, as I want to build a prototype to read emails. After following instructions, the Sign in with Google button shows up, but clicking it just returns me back to /sign-in page.

There are no errors in the console… and this is where I’m a bit stuck with the Ash philosophy. If I’m declaring everything, how do I trace the code to find out what’s wrong? Am I just guessing which attributes are missing?

Here is my User resource:
