Existing Project Setup - Error 404: Unknown service account

[Kameron S-D]

I'm trying to setup GAM on a headless Debian cloud VM to use for some nightly automations.

I'm trying to connect via this command: gam use project admin [admin email] project [project ID]

This command was used per the documentation here:

https://github.com/taers232c/GAMADV-XTD3/wiki/Authorization#use-an-existing-project-for-gam-authorization

However - I'm getting the attached output (project ID redacted though)...

Am I doing something wrong here?

Thanks,

KSD

I have the same error...

I am connecting to an existing project, on a new install of GAM

any pointers on where to look ?

thanks

I was able to resolve my issue, but downloading the existing client-secrets.json from the cloud console and placed it in the GAM folder.. i got the authentication screen and all is good now  :)

IIRC - I think a core issue was that somehow a ton of whitespace was randomly getting added to the key in .json file. I had to end up refreshing my .json file a couple of times and this happened each time.

Every time I'd pull it down, I had to delete the whitespace from it... I ended up making a short powershell script to not have to deal with fixing it manually anymore:

$file = [.json path]

(get-content $file) -replace " ","" | set-content $file

I don't have it nearby so the above could be inaccurate...

I think JSON files can be formatted slightly differently depending on what OS is used.

As for reusing existing project, I don't think GAM likes it if a service account/key pair already exist in the project, but you can always manually create/download client_secrets.json and oauth2service.json.
