Hi all. I’m trying to get Google cloud functions working following this guide here: https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/google-cloud-function-python#step-2-define-a-python_google_cloud_function--target I’m running into issues when I attempt to deploy this example cloud function I can build the function

➜  example git:(main) ✗ ./pants package project/google_cloud_function_example.py
16:09:25.56 [INFO] Wrote dist/project/cloud_function.zip
    Runtime: python39
    Handler: handler

The pants docs claim:

You can use any of the various Google Cloud methods to upload your zip file, such as the Google Cloud console or the Google Cloud CLI.

You must specify the handler as

handler

.

(Presumably this means the

--entry-point

value referred to on the gcloud docs) I’ve tried playing around with different

--source

values:

➜  example git:(main) ✗ gcloud functions deploy example --region=europe-west2 --runtime=python38 --source=dist/project/cloud_function.zip --entry-point=handler
ERROR: (gcloud.functions.deploy) argument `--source`: Provided path does not point to a directory

➜  example git:(main) gcloud functions deploy example --region=europe-west2 --runtime=python38 --source=dist/project --entry-point=handler
Deploying function (may take a while - up to 2 minutes)...failed.
ERROR: (gcloud.functions.deploy) OperationError: code=3, message=Build failed: missing main.py and GOOGLE_FUNCTION_SOURCE not specified. Either create the function in main.py or specify GOOGLE_FUNCTION_SOURCE to point to the file that contains the function; Error ID: 5c04ec9c

And I’ve tried renaming

project/google_cloud_function_example.py

->

project/main.py

, but this gives the same error. Can anyone point me in the right direction? What invocation should I be using to deploy this example?

Hmm, things may have changed on the gcloud side since @enough-analyst-54434 implemented this. It looks like `gcloud functions`'s

--source

expects a directory, and you're passing it a zip file

yep confirming that works as expected, just got a little confused by the documentation.

Which one worked?

uploading it to google cloud + deploying with

--source=gs://..

Ah, great!

FWIW I'm almost positive I didn't write this. IIRC it was a community contribution. I know I've debugged it a few times though.

You're right, sorry, I misremembered. It was by @worried-salesclerk-37834!
