I tried setting GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS to the path of my json key but it doesn't work:

+ gcloud auth activate-service-account
ERROR: (gcloud.auth.activate-service-account) argument --key-file: Must be specified.

Many other commands support this env. Is there an env that gcloud auth supports? Or do I have to pass it in manually

There are some relevant workarounds discussed in Serverfault and also on this public issue.
