Github Actions Failing for setup-gcloud - google-cloud-platform

Question

My previous deployments with same github workflow file were successful.
Suddenly today, I get this error in Github Actions while trying to deploy.
May I know how to fix this?
Run google-github-actions/setup-gcloud#v0

This usually indicates corruption in your gcloud installation or problems with your Python interpreter.

Please verify that the following is the path to a working Python 2.7 executable:
49
/usr/bin/python
50
51
If it is not, please set the CLOUDSDK_PYTHON environment variable to point to a working Python 2.7 executable.

If you are still experiencing problems, please reinstall the Cloud SDK using the instructions here:

Answer 1

I fixed it by using below lines in workflow yml before uses: google-github-actions/setup-gcloud#v0
- run: |
sudo apt-get install python2.7
export CLOUDSDK_PYTHON="/usr/bin/python2"

Answer 2

In my case setting the version to 318.0.0 also fixed the issue.
name: Set up gcloud
uses: google-github-actions/setup-gcloud#v0
with:
version: '318.0.0'
service_account_email: ${{ secrets.GCP_SA_EMAIL }}
service_account_key: ${{ secrets.GCP_SA_KEY }}
Based on the info at: AttributeError: module 'importlib' has no attribute 'util'

Answer 3

Answer above did not work for us, however, we're able to identify and fix the the problem by doing followings.
Problem: The python version used in our action was somehow 3.10.3 which is not compliant with gcloud cli.
Official gcloud docs says:
The gcloud CLI runs under Python. Note that gcloud requires Python version 3.5-3.9
Solution: We've updated github workflow definition to setup a supported version of the python by the gcloud cli.
- name: Setup python
uses: actions/setup-python#v4
with:
python-version: '3.9'
- name: Export gcloud related env variable
run: export CLOUDSDK_PYTHON="/usr/bin/python3"

Answer 4

I ran into the same issue. Seems it's a gcloud and Python versioning issue.
Here is what solved it for me:
my workflow yml before the fix:
- uses: google-github-actions/setup-gcloud#v0
with:
version: '270.0.0'
service_account_email: ${{ secrets.SECRET_NAME }}
service_account_key: ${{ secrets.SECRET_NAME }}
after the fix:
- name: Set up Python
uses: actions/setup-python#v4
with:
python-version: '3.9'
- uses: google-github-actions/setup-gcloud#v0
with:
version: '318.0.0'
service_account_email: ${{ secrets.SECRET_NAME }}
service_account_key: ${{ secrets.SECRET_NAME }}
