googleads.yaml error

[Ravi Gopalan]

At the line below

adwords_client = adwords.AdWordsClient.LoadFromStorage('/file_path_ to_googleads.yaml')

I get an error

GoogleAdsValueError: Given yaml file, ~googleads.yaml , could not find some keys. The "adwords" configuration is missing

This is the error when accessing adwords client from a GCE VM.

However, I dont get this error when accessing from Python client on Mac terminal 

Is there a different format required to access the adwords client from a Google Virtual Machine?

Hi Ravi,

Thank you for reaching out. This sounds like an issue with the client library itself so I would recommend posting your question to the GitHub issues page here. Their team will be more equipped to assist you.

I got this error message..

GoogleAdsValueError: Given yaml file, ~googleads.yaml , could not find some keys. The "adwords" configuration is missing

..because the "googleads.yaml" configuration file requires a section "adwords", unlike the classic  "adwords.yaml" file for the AdWords API. An example for a valid format can be found here 
https://github.com/googleads/googleads-python-lib/blob/master/googleads.yaml

Hope that helps someone
