google.cloud.error_reporting AttributeError: 'Client' object has no attribute 'project'

[cva]

I am trying to follow the sample code here in an appengine custom flexible runtime and whenever I run the code, I get the following error:

AttributeError: 'Client' object has no attribute 'project'

In the same project I'm also creating clients for pubsub and storage with the same default constructor and they both find the project and credentials, both when running in appengine as well as when I run the container locally and specify credentials by setting GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS to point to a json file containing credentials for a service account.

I have also tried explicitly passing the project explicitly using something like:

ec = error_reporting.Client(project='xyz')

and

ec = error_reporting.Client('xyz')

to no avail.

Here is the sample code that fails:

from flask import Flask
from google.cloud import error_reporting


app = Flask(__name__)


@app.route('/simulate_error')
def simulate_error():
    ec = error_reporting.Client()
    try:
        # simulate calling a method that's not defined
        raise NameError
    except Exception:
        ec.report_exception()


if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(host='0.0.0.0', debug=True)

Here is the output from pip freeze | grep ^google-cloud:

forgot to mention I get a similar error when I try to use the google.cloud.logging client as well.

[lukesneeringer]

Thanks for reporting, @cva. :-) Looking into this now.

[dhermes]

@lukesneeringer Was fixed in #3159

[cva]

when might those changes show up in a new release?

[lukesneeringer]

I can release a new error reporting client today.

[cva]

Thanks for the update. btw, did anyone check to see if the same fix has also been made to google.cloud.logging? (or should I just open a separate issue?) It seems to exhibit the same behavior.

[lukesneeringer]

I was not able to find the issue on logging.
