"Could not load the default credentials" when using custom apiEndpoint. #1373
Description
- OS: Linux
- Node.js version: v12.19.0
- npm version: 6.14.8
@google-cloud/storageversion: 5.7.0
Steps to reproduce
- Start the GCP emulator docker image
fsouza/fake-gcs-serverwithsh - c 'mkdir -p /data/bucketname && touch /data/bucketname/.keep && /bin/fake-gcs-server -scheme http -port 80 -data /data'as entrypoint. - Run
const {Storage} = require('@google-cloud/storage');
storage = new Storage({
apiEndpoint: 'http://google-cloud-storage.gcp-emu', // whatever IP/domain needed to reach the emulator of step 1.
projectId: 'gcp-emu-prj',
});
(async () => {
const [files] = await storage.bucket('vision-poc').getFiles();
console.log(files) // works, I can see the .keep file.
await storage.bucket('vision-poc').file('my-file').save('test from js');
})();On the save() call I get:
(node:958) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: Could not load the default credentials. Browse to https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/getting-started for more information.

This error originated either by throwing inside of an async function without a catch block, or by rejecting a promise which was not handled with .catch().

I don't expect any attempt to load credentials since I am supplying a custom API endpoint.
Maybe related to fsouza/fake-gcs-server#218, #898, #1315.
It looks like #1316 was meant to fix it?

I am also facing the same issue.

This error is occurring because authentication bypass for resumable uploads is not currently supported. A potential workaround for this issue is to add
{resumable: false}as the second parameter to yourFile.savecall.KieranHarper commentedon May 29, 2022
I have noticed this occurring in version 6.0.1 today when using
getSignedUrlfor an upload. It will only succeed in giving you a url if you have credentials. Other calls are respectingapiEndpoint. My quick workaround was to manually construct a fake url instead, because this is just for a test env usingfsouza/fake-gcs-serveras above.
