gapi.client.request uses global batch request

[gkiely]

When using gapi.client.request as part of a batch request it uses the global batch endpoint.

Example:

const batch = gapi.client.newBatch();
const request = gapi.client.request({
  path: `drive/v3/files?q='id in parents' and trashed = false`
});
batch.add(request);
batch.then();

URL that gets called: https://content.googleapis.com/batch?key={myKey}
Expected URL: https://content.googleapis.com/batch/drive/v3?key={myKey}

Hey @grant just wanted to see if this is feasible. It's related to the global batch endpoint being deprecated. Thanks!

Hi @gkiely, this does seem like a bug. I don't use batch or global batch though and I try to avoid it.

This also seems related to this issue:

I realize this is an old issue but the root cause here is that hand crafted(non discovery based) requests always went to global batch. Now that global batch is no longer supported the appropriate approach is to always use discovery generated requests in batches. I have sent a pull request updating the documentaiton.
