Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Googolplexed0/zotify/issues/81

When I tried to search for something it gave me this error and I have no idea how am I supposed to select a method, it doesn't even tell me where??

I did manage to grab the credentials.json correctly and put it in the folder so idk whats going on

    raise RuntimeError("You must select an authentication method.")
RuntimeError: You must select an authentication method.

I tried with a GUI I made and in the console it did give me a redirect link but it kinda just gave me an invalid url error...
