I maintain this Elixir application that is using goth for OAuth with Google.
All that it does is to configure goth like this is runtime.exs:
config :goth, json: “/my/path/to/goth.json” |> File.read!()
and then gets the token like this:
Goth.Token.for_scope(...)
Can somebody explain how goth works?
First of all, how can I understand which library depends on goth?
Second, who starts the goth app, since there is no explicit call to its start?
Also, if I want to configure goth programmatically, how should I do it?
Thanks!

I know nothing about goth, but glancing at the changelog it seems you may be on an older version: Upgrading from Goth 1.2 — Goth v1.4.5

To find which lib depends on
gothin your project you can usemix deps.tree.gothis a mix project that has an application module defined in itsmix.exsfile, this gets started automatically, that’s why sometimes you have to addruntime: falseto a dependency to not have it start automatically.For how to configure
gothprogrammatically, the newer version seems to document that on Hexdocs.
