Summary

  • Prefer google.auth.default() (ADC file, gcloud user creds, GCE metadata) before inline GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS_CONTENT when resolving Vertex AI credentials.
  • Add GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT setting and resolve project from ADC JSON quota_project_id when auth returns no project (common with user OAuth ADC).
  • Document GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS and updated GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS_CONTENT behavior in README.

Motivation: discover-agent-deploy mounts a gcloud ADC file via GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS; the agent previously required inline JSON only.

Test plan

  • uv run pytest tests/unit/utils/test_google_creds.py -q
  • make local with ADC file mounted (no GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS_CONTENT) — agent starts and calls Vertex
  • Fallback: inline GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS_CONTENT still works when ADC is unavailable

Made with Cursor

Closes #197

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits within each organization.

For paid Pro and Pro+ reviews, CodeRabbit uses a developer's included PR review attempts over the past 7 days to set the current hourly allowance. At typical activity levels, the full plan allowance applies. Higher sustained activity can lower the allowance until earlier attempts leave the 7-day window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

Walkthrough

The change adds the optional GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT setting. Credential loading now prioritizes inline service-account JSON, then uses Application Default Credentials. Project resolution checks authentication results, settings, quota project IDs, and ADC files. Tests cover loading, fallback behavior, errors, platform paths, caching, and cache clearing.

LGTM just check if CodeRabbit recommendations are worth fixing, especially the Windows path issue and the code coverage.

Thanks so much for this PR! Why is ADC the default? I think GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS_CONTENT should take precedence when explicitly set, since not all ADC credentials have access to Vertex AI projects. If a user explicitly sets GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS_CONTENT, they probably expect that JSON to be used rather than their local ADC credentials. I ran into this issue myself when testing locally as my ADC happened to not include Vertex AI.

This is an important and highly needed PR, but I think ADC should be the fallback when GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS_CONTENT is not set, rather than the other way around.

Thanks for the review, I'll plan to do the following and commit shortly:

  • I will swap out the order of the JSON vs. ADC
  • Fix the path details for Windows
  • Rebase to latest main.

joewood-redhat and others added 2 commits August 18, 2026 13:32
Swap credential resolution so GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS_CONTENT is used
when set, with Application Default Credentials as the fallback. Use
google-auth's _cloud_sdk helper for the platform-aware well-known ADC path
so Windows and CLOUDSDK_CONFIG are handled consistently. Update docs and
tests to reflect the new priority.
