Something is missing 'docs' wise. It's very unclear what you are meant to use tools wise (this is a perpetual issue with Google cloud)
Every few weeks I figure I should be using gcloud but whenever I try it doesn't work and there are no docs to explain how to set it up. AFAIK it's all running, I use it for other things, it doesn't work for Go and never has. It tells me extra files exist and should be removed - if I remove them then even more things stop working. goapp was simpler / easier and I still use it because it works and I can't keep spending time trying to figure out gcloud.
