After already being set in Pycharm terminal, I still get: Please set GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS

I'm trying to create a bq client python.

I have created the GCP json key and exported it toGOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS.

I have tried to run the following in the PyCharm IDE:

export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="/home/.....7e7a385.json" echo $GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS /home/...7e7a385.json GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="/home/....7e7a385.json"

(following this post https://stackoverflow.com/a/67224391/311130)

I still get this error afterwards:

google.auth.exceptions.DefaultCredentialsError: Could not automatically determine credentials. Please set GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS or explicitly create credentials and re-run the application. For more information, please see https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/getting-started
Solution

  • I had to set it under the IDEA UI: Edit configuration
