I received the following error when trying to connect to a Google Data Source:



1. Error retrieving metadata for Model(s) associated with Data Source ‘GoogleDirectory’. Please check Models’ properties to ensure they are set correctly.
Error connecting to REST Data Source at URL “https://www.googleapis.com/admin/directory/v1/users/USERID”:

What does this error message mean?
It looks like the error response wasn’t stringified.

The error was that the proper API Service wasn’t enabled in my google project (In my case the Admin SDK).


I found that out by going to network calls on chrome developer console and looking at the response of the apex remote call.


The response looked like this:

Shmuel, thank you for closing the loop on this for the Community. Glad you were able to resolve the issue!
