The provided path to the service account is invalid (type=value_error) about prefect-gcp HOT 5 CLOSED

Yes that sounds correct. Perhaps prefect-gcp should add a disclaimer to discourage use of service_account_file since it's not portable within containers. Would you be willing to contribute a PR to do so?

I think it might be because you used: ~

What if you provide an absolute path?

I tried it but also did not work.

Ok I'll try testing soon. In the meantime, would you be able to copy the JSON into service_account_info as a workaround?

from prefect-gcp.

I suspect the reason would be:

• I defined the GCS block by using a local path in my machine.
• The prefect flow in my container try to find this exact path in the container but it does not exist.
  Maybe there is a way to define a mount that let the container access the credential path on my local machine but I am not sure how.
  Anyway, If I leave service_account_file NULL and copy the JSON content into service_account_info then it would work. I think I will do this for now.
