Bot crashes on start due to missing `google-auth-library`

[Chandramauli-Arm64]

🤔 Not Existing Bug?

• Yes, I'm sure that this is a bug!

👀 Current Behavior

When trying to run the bot locally with yarn dev, the application immediately crashes. Nodemon starts as expected, but Node.js throws a MODULE_NOT_FOUND error related to google-auth-library.

Here is the error log:

yarn dev                          yarn run v1.22.22

$ nodemon src/bot.js

Interesting, looks like all the syntax has been changed.
I have a question, do you need these data for the ticket creation?

If you could change the database from these google api and sheets to a more easier format then it could be more helpful and less of a hassle.

Thank you for the suggestion, I was thinking of it yesterday and created this #10 and with your specific use case, are you going to use these data or is it good for you to just use the bot plain without google sheet or database to store the data?

Plain bot is good though but if we use a json based database for then I can use it without any problem. But postgresql is very tricky in termux to setup and I am comfortable in json based database.

Or you can try postgresql if you want. I will set it up in termux or if json is better for fast implementation then I will go with it.

Are you planning to run this locally on your device? If yes, we can use sqlite instead?

Yes, I am using it locally.

Got it, I will add that into the feature request.
