Manage API from Cloud Shell Editor

Question

I try to manage API keys from Cloud Shell Editor to restore an API (autocreated by Firebase) that I deleted.

I try to run gcloud alpha services api-keys undelete BYuihiuYUIGyugIIHU... but i receive Error: ERROR: (gcloud.alpha.services.api-keys.undelete) NOT_FOUND: Method not found.

I try to run (for testing) gcloud alpha services api-keys list command but I receive error: ERROR: (gcloud.alpha.services.api-keys.list) Projects instance [PROJECT_ID] not found: Method not found.

What I'm wrong?

Thank you so much

Answer 1

It is probable that (for some reason), your Cloud Shell is not running the latest version of gcloud (Cloud SDK). The latest version is 328.0.0. My Cloud Shell is running 327.0.0 includes the alpha commands (see below) and the commands work for me.

What is the result of the following in Cloud Shell?

• gcloud version
• gcloud components list does the list include gcloud Alpha Commands?

I'm confident that gcloud Alpha Commands are installed (by default) on Cloud Shell and so suspect that, for some reason, you're running an outdated version of Cloud SDK.

I'm unsure how you can install gcloud Alpha Commands under Cloud Shell if the component isn't installed because using gcloud commands will error under Cloud Shell but it should (!) tell you which apt-get install command you will need:

gcloud components install alpha

I assumed it was not permitted (since Cloud Shell is managed) but it is possible to self-update Cloud SDK in Cloud Shell. The following update will again tell you that you can't run the command in Cloud Shell but, it should give you a set of apt-get install commands that you can use to perform the update:

gcloud components update

Here's a link to the release notes for Cloud SDK. It's not obvious from these notes when these methods were added.

thank you so much for answer. The result of commands is:

I tried to remove and reinstall gcloud-sdk with: sudo apt purge --autoremove google-cloud-sdk and sudo apt-get install google-cloud-sdk but nothing has changed
