Unable to access Google Cloud Secrets from Django application

Question

I am able to access an item stored in Google Cloud secrets from the command line or python console -

gcloud secrets versions access 1 --secret=sql-db-pass

But if I try to access it from a Django application it throws the following error. I have already set the gcloud project and provided auth-default login as below

gcloud config set project my-test-project

gcloud auth application-default login 

CODE:

secret_parent = "projects/my-test-project"
response = secret_client.access_secret_version(request={"name": "sql-db-pass"})
payload = response.payload.data.decode("UTF-8")
print(f"Plaintext: {payload}")

ERROR:

google.api_core.exceptions.PermissionDenied: 403 Permission denied on resource project sql-db-pass. [links {
  description: "Google developers console"
  url: "https://console.developers.google.com"
}
, reason: "CONSUMER_INVALID"
domain: "googleapis.com"
metadata {
  key: "service"
  value: "secretmanager.googleapis.com"
}
metadata {
  key: "consumer"
  value: "projects/sql-db-pass "
}
]

I'm stumped - any suggestions are appreciated

Answer 1

Use the Project ID and not the Project Name.

The key error message is CONSUMER_INVALID.
