Did the new release change or require something new?

Update Environment Variables for VertexAI API Token Resolution
The recent update to VertexAI may have changed how API tokens are resolved, potentially requiring explicit environment variable settings for authentication. The service account credentials may not be automatically detected, leading to the error message regarding the API token.
Awaiting Verification
Be the first to verify this fix
- 1
Verify Service Account Permissions
Ensure that the service account being used has the necessary permissions to access VertexAI. This includes roles such as 'Vertex AI Admin' or 'Vertex AI User'.
- 2
Set Environment Variables for API Token
Explicitly set the environment variable for the API token in your environment. This can be done by exporting the variable in your terminal or adding it to your environment configuration file.
bashexport GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS='/path/to/your/service-account-file.json' - 3
Check for Configuration Changes in VertexAI
Review the release notes or documentation for the latest VertexAI update to identify any changes in authentication methods or required configurations.
- 4
Restart Your Application or Service
After making changes to the environment variables, restart your application or service to ensure that the new settings are applied.
bashsystemctl restart your-service-name - 5
Test API Connectivity
Run a test to ensure that the API token is being resolved correctly and that you can successfully make requests to VertexAI.
bashcurl -X GET 'https://YOUR_VERTEXAI_ENDPOINT' -H 'Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)'
Validation
Confirm that the API token is resolved correctly by checking for successful responses from VertexAI. If the error persists, review the logs for additional error messages.
