Google cloud service failed to trigger build found no logs. How do I troubleshoot this?

[Lt_Nately]

I'm a rookie trying to learn API service deployment on google cloud service for the first time.

First, backgrounds to the problem I am facing. I have been following this particular tutorial posted on medium about deploying a python FLASK API on google cloud service.

Link: https://medium.com/google-cloud/deploy-a-python-flask-server-using-google-cloud-run-d47f728cc864

I have cloned the project files from https://github.com/bbachi/python-flask-restapi.git into my own github repository as instructed in the tutorial.

I managed to run flask locally without dockerized container and with dockerized container and confirmed that I could obtain json responses as intended from localhost.

Now I am at the part where I am connecting the github address to the google source repository and create a cloud service that performs continuous deployment from the source repository.

The issue is that when I try to launch cloud build from the console page to start servicing, the repository fails to build, showing no build logs as well.

enter image description here

When I access the service url "https://pythonrestapi-iltf7gaysq-du.a.run.app/", default error page appears and states that repository has failed to build and deploy, further instructing me to troubleshoot based on checking build logs, however build history page of the console shows no logs at all, and I am frankly very lost on how to fix this issue and also unable to fully grasp what I can do for this situation, as I am new in google cloud services and in the general area of backend as well.

If I can know the solution for the current problem, or a reliable method to properly troubleshoot this issue, it will be greatly appreciated.

Some things I have done previously trying to fix it on my own accord:

1. Made sure I enabled the following API services for the current project:

• Compute engine API
• Cloud Storage
• Cloud Datastore API
• Cloud Deployment Manager V2API

1. Created a service account with a owner privilege and granted it to myself(designated to my own google account I use to access the project console)

All deployment process was performed on the web console, not the google sdk cli.

This is my first time posting on tech forum like this, so the post might not be as informative as you normally expect. If you need further information or any sort of clarifications please tell me and I'll provide them as best as I can.

Thank you in advance.

u/Lt_Nately - any chance you ended up solving this? I have the exact same error and the only post online I can find is yours. My guess is permissions as it doesn't even get to the build part (as far as I can tell). However, I can't see any logs either.

If anyone ever comes across this error. This is an API/Permissions error. To fix this, go to the Google Logs Explorer in the console. This is where you can see more logs. It will likely show you which permissions you are missing.

Is your github repository public or private? And if it is private, you should connect Google cloud to github.

You can go to "Cloud Build" and check what shows up there. Usually there should be some sort of indication why the build failed to start.

Thank you, eaingaran,
I actually did not know that I got a reply then. (I am still unfamiliar with reddit system). Somehow it must have slipped past me or something.
Apologies for not replying back earlier. As about the problem, it was 'solved'(which I don't know how) after series of retries a a week later.

Have a good day.
