gcloud auth login proxy issue

Question

When I attempt to authenticate with GCloud using the command gcloud auth login , I receive the following error message:

Your browser has been opened to visit:

https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?response_type=code&client_id=3...

ERROR: There was a problem with web authentication. Try running again with --no-browser.
ERROR: (gcloud.auth.login) Could not reach the login server. A potential cause of this could be because you are behind a proxy. Please set the environment variables HTTPS_PROXY and HTTP_PROXY to the address of the proxy in the format "protocol://address:port" (without quotes) and try again.

How to resolve?

Answer 1

This issue arose for me when I'd set the environment variables $HTTP_PROXY and $HTTPS_PROXY .

The solution is simply to unset the variables:

• unset HTTP_PROXY
• unset HTTPS_PROXY
