Brad and go-nuts:

I've been using the google-api-go-client library to access google storage for a long time (probably since the library first was created). Generally I've had no problems. This morning though, nothing is working.

googleapi: got HTTP response code 404 and error reading body: invalid character '<' looking for beginning of value: error uploading file

So I guess my first question is, is there any way to get the library to show me what the error message is? Not seeing an obvious way to do that, I dug into the internals and did a req.Write(os.Stdout), and I get this:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><Error><Code>NoSuchBucket</Code><Message>The specified bucket does not exist.</Message></Error>

I know the bucket still exists, I can see it in my cloud console, and AFAIK I haven't changed anything since yesterday. Any idea what's going on here?

And I guess for context, the code that causes the error might be helpful:

        service, err := storage.New(c)
        if err != nil {
                return err
        }

        obj := &storage.Object{
                ContentEncoding: "application/zip",
                Name:            filename,
        }

        _, err = service.Objects.Insert(bucket, obj).Media(f).Do()
        return err

This makes me sad. I hope Google didn't change the API.

You really didn't change any code or update to a new version of the Go client?

No, I was using the same binaries as yesterday. No rebuild in the last few weeks.

I just realized that I also get errors manually uploading, so that seems to imply the problem is elsewhere. I'll go in through the support front door to see if I can get more info. But regarding my first question, can the API give me more info on an error when it comes through? Thanks.

Yeah, file a bug against the google-api-go-client project.

related datapoint: google-api-go-client/analytics/v3 is working just fine (via service account, cert+JWT+OAuth2). i just tested.

FYI i promised a blog-y type post about HOW-TO query the core reporting api using Go + a headless service account. i'm ~95% done, but i'll have it finished over this weekend and post the url to the list when its nice and polished.
