Google Cloud Storage Service Account

Suspected Bug
1

Hi

I’m trying to use rclone with Google Cloud Storage (not Google Drive) with a Service account.

I have a json service account key and my config looks like

[gcs]
type = google cloud storage
service_account_file = /root/key.json

However when trying to ls my bucket I get

rclone ls gcs:mybucket
2018/09/07 02:13:47 Failed to create file system for "gcs:mybucket": failed to configure Google Cloud Storage: empty token found - please run rclone config again

rclone version
rclone v1.43
- os/arch: linux/amd64
- go version: go1.11

This seems like a but but I could also be missing something in my config.

Has anyone got Google Cloud Storage working with a service account?

v1.43 introduced a bug to the cloud storage backed, wich ist already fixed in the latest beta.
You can find the github issue here with workarounds for v1.43.

Thanks, downgrading to 1.42 works.

Just grab the latest version and it’s fixed in that.
