I have been experimenting with some of the Google Examples, which I have to say is a bit of a nightmare!
I'm following the example here https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/python/appidentity/ to retrieve an access token on the develoment server (MacOS Sierra) using Pycharm. I have indeed setup a service account on the Cloud Console, something you have to scrape around to find out for yourself and it is being retrieved correctly via app_identity.get_service_account_name() However, I am getting this error: *** InternalError: Error getting access token. Response code: 400, Content: { "error" : "invalid_grant", "error_description" : "Invalid JWT: Token must be a short-lived token and in a reasonable timeframe" } I assume I have provided the service account with the correct permissions for what I want, which are: Storage Object Creator Storage Object Viewer Service Account Actor which I assume I need to access the token, not really sure. I would appreciate some direct Google help here or any help from someone that can give me an answer not a choice of paradigms. I have to say that the Google Docs are failing dramatically. It is near impossible without pouring over the stuff for hours to get clear recipe style format for performing simple tasks. When there is smidgeon of hope it goes down the toilet fast with an error for example, you set up the service accounts get your key sorted run your code and wham: HTTPException: Invalid and/or missing SSL certificate for URL: arrives like a big fat palm to smack you across the kisser. You Google and Stackoverflow some more, and find out it's a bug with outdated certificates in the sdk. Great, you fix that, try not to bang your head against the nearest hard object, because then you won't have a computer to work on, take a deep breath and run again. The bug above is where you arrive. Do us techs a favour Google, if you are going to create software you want us to use, provide adequate documentation to allow us to use them without reaching for the damn zanax. Recipies, and more recipes with clear cut examples. I'm not a technical mystery detective, I'm a simple minded developer that is fed up to the back teeth of having to trawl through your min efield of documents just to do some simple -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
