BigQuery error in load operation: URI not found

Question

I have, in the same GCP project, a BigQuery dataset and a cloud storage bucket, both within the region us-central1. The storage bucket has a single parquet file located in it. When I run the below command:

bq load \
--project_id=myProject --location=us-central1 \
--source_format=PARQUET \
myDataSet:tableName \
gs://my-storage-bucket/my_parquet.parquet

It fails with the below error:

BigQuery error in load operation: Error processing job '[job_no]': Not found: URI gs://my-storage-bucket/my_parquet.parquet

Removing the --project_id or --location tags don't affect the outcome.

Answer 1

Figured it out - the documentation is incorrect, I actually had to declare the source as gs://my-storage-bucket/my_parquet.parquet/part* and it loaded fine
