Cannot deploy to Google Cloud App Engine

[Jens Henrik Hosbond]

I'm trying to setup the pipeline to automatically deploy a nodejs application to Google App Engine. I've set the GCP_KEY_FILE_DEV variable in the repository > Deployment > Environment "Development". The variable contains a base64 encoding of the service account file needed to authenticate. But, I keep getting the same error.  See screenshot. Any ideas? Thanks.

@Jens Henrik Hosbond hi.Thanks for your question.

Looks like the problem relates to base64 encoding.
Try to test your encoded variable to check access to Google Cloud App Engine in console.

Examples of how to encode:

Linux

1 $ base64 -w 0 < my_ssh_key

Mac OS X

1 $ base64 < my_ssh_key

Regards, Igor.

Hi Igor

Thank you for your reply. I've tested and validated the base64 encoding. But, it still produces the same error. I've re-checked the permissions on the service account key file and that should be ok.

Any other ideas?

So, for tests you sent request from your console with your base64 encoded file and without using pipe and you received ok response?
Or you received an error even when trying to connect  to Google Cloud App Engine from your console?

Seems i misunderstood you. I thought problem related to pipe.
Did you use this pipe: https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/google-app-engine-deploy/src/master/ ?
If not maybe you should try?

And for your case i think you should do something like this in your pipeline:

echo $GCP_KEY_FILE_DEV | base64 -d > ~/.client-secret.json

gcloud auth activate-service-account --key-file ~/.client-secret.json
