gcloud endpoints configs describe - Please add "view" param

[Eaton Zveare]

I want to compare the contents of the Open API json already deployed to Endpoints against the "new" version my build script is ready to upload. If they match, then I can skip some steps in my build script, making it more efficient.

The file contents can be obtained using this API when "view" is set to "FULL": https://cloud.google.com/service-infrastructure/docs/service-management/reference/rest/v1/services.configs/get

This API can be invoked using gcloud endpoints configs describe, but sadly, the "view" query parameter cannot be specified.

Is this something you can add? I can't imagine it would take long, and it would be useful to me.

You could use "curl" to talk to Google service management directly.  As

curl --fail -o "service.json" -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
  "https://servicemanagement.googleapis.com/v1/services/${SERVICE}/configs/${CONFIG_ID}?view=FULL"

You can find this in this script:

That works, but I think having it in gcloud would be great. Is there a reason it's not there?

I agree this isn't the best user experience.

Our team does not maintain this command, it's more than 4 years old. But I can take a look and see if it can be updated, or why it doesn't include a view=full option originally.

Great, thank you!
