See @saigeetha-sundar correct reply.

However, it appears that you have set the Project ID using gcloud config set core/project . The intent of the gcloud config set command is to set default values for gcloud properties so that you do not need to write them repeatedly (as you wish).

Just to be clear:

If the core/project value is unset...

gcloud config unset core/project

If you don't specify --project=[[YOUR-PROJECT]] on commands that expect it, you'll get errors...

NOTE I'm using gcloud iam service-accounts list as an example.

gcloud iam service-accounts list
ERROR: The required property [project] is not currently set.
You may set it for your current workspace by running:

  $ gcloud config set project VALUE

or it can be set temporarily by the environment variable [CLOUDSDK_CORE_PROJECT]

And you must always specify it, eg:

gcloud iam service-accounts list --project=[[YOUR-PROJECT]]
DISPLAY NAME                     EMAIL
Default compute service account  1234567890123-compute@developer.gserviceaccount.com

But, if you set the configuration value:

gcloud config set core/project [[YOUR-PROJECT]]

Then any command that requires the project value will work without specifying it:

gcloud iam service-accounts list
DISPLAY NAME                     EMAIL
Default compute service account  1234567890123-compute@developer.gserviceaccount.com

Answer 2

I tried running the command from my project, the command is running successfully in Google Cloud shell, but the error seems to be Windows command line error, if you are using windows to run the command you would have to,use the "Set" command to create variables.

You are trying to execute a Linux command on Windows.

The equivalent for Windows executed from a batch file is:

gcloud config get-value core/project > project.tmp
for /f "delims=" %%x in (project.tmp) do set GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT=%%x
del project.tmp

Put those lines in a batch file (*.bat). The reason is the %% escaping. If you hand type into the Command Prompt use the following example. Notice the change from %% to % .

The equivalent for Windows typed at a Comman Prompt:

gcloud config get-value core/project > project.tmp
for /f "delims=" %x in (project.tmp) do set GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT=%x
del project.tmp

The command gcloud config get-value core/project outputs more than one line of text. This is the reason for the for loop. The for loop will read each line from project.tmp and assign the value to GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT. The last set value is the PROJECT ID.

If you use this example in a batch script, then add the keyword call in front of gcloud . The reason is that gcloud is a script itself and when it returns without the call , your script will exit.

call gcloud config get-value core/project > project.tmp

Windows legacy (antique) syntax can be a pain at times.
