Google Cloud SDK-based Maven plugin is forcing itself to update and then failing, when cloud sdk is up to date

I'm making a Java program which will be deployed to the Google App Engine and I'm using the Cloud SDK maven plugin version 2.4.0 to deploy to the GAE. However when I run mvn package appengine:deploy the cloud SDK will say its current version is 321.0.0 and needs to update to 327.0.0. The update will then fail with the error: ERROR: (gcloud.components.update) Access is denied: [C:\Users\jamie\AppData\Local\Google\ct4j-cloud-sdk\LATEST\google-cloud-sdk.staging\platform\kuberun_licenses\LICENSES.txt]

However when I just run gcloud components update I get the result of All components are up to date.

Anyone know why this may be happening or how to fix it?

EDIT: As a work-around I found you can force the maven plugin to use a specific version of the sdk by using <cloudSdkVersion>321.0.0</cloudSdkVersion>. I'm still very curious to know why this occurred though

Solution

  • Manged to fix this by deleted the whole C:\Users\jamie\AppData\Local\Google\ct4j-cloud-sdk folder as this forces the plugin to redownload a fresh SDK.

    The error occurs as the plugin uses its onw auto managed SDK rather than the one which is user managed.
