Gcloud functions deploy crash

Everytime I try to deploy a function I get an error:

ERROR: gcloud crashed (TypeError): expected string or bytes-like object

I uploaded the same code manually in a zip file and there were no problems.

This is the command:

gcloud functions deploy myfunction \
  --runtime python39 \
  --trigger-http \
  --entry-point main \
  --source . \
  --region europe-west1 \
  --project myproject \
  --env-vars-file env.json

With debug anbled:

Solution

  • Based on your comment, it seems like you are using the older version of Google Cloud SDK 411.0.0, which is causing the below error message:

    ERROR: gcloud crashed (TypeError): expected string or bytes-like object

    I have tried deploying the simple Hello World function by following the Documentation with the latest version of Gcloud CLI 468.0.0 and able to deploy successfully.

    Try upgrading to the latest version of Google Cloud SDK 468.0.0 and redeploy. It should work as expected.
