Google Bucket: BadRequestException: 400 Unknown project id

Hope following will be usefull for other beginners out there.

While trying several sample projects and services of Google Cloud, it was the round for Cloud Storage Bucket, so went for creating a bucket.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Cloud SDK>gsutil mb gs://helloworld-123456-bucket
Creating gs://helloworld-123456-bucket/...
BadRequestException: 400 Unknown project id: helloworld-abc123-bucket

The output refers to a very old project id (helloworld-abc123-bucket), furthermore that prject was deleted long time ago.

After a quick investigation this command helped understanding was going on:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Cloud SDK>gcloud config list
[core]
account = some.user@gmail.com
disable_usage_reporting = False
project = helloworld-abc123-bucket

Your active configuration is: [default]

C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Cloud SDK>

The “project” still had the old one, then switch the project was the next step.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Cloud SDK>gcloud config set project helloworld-123456-bucket
Updated property [core/project].

C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Cloud SDK>gcloud config list
[core]
account = some.user@gmail.com
disable_usage_reporting = False
project = helloworld-123456-bucket

Your active configuration is: [default]

C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Cloud SDK>

Time to create the bucket

C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Cloud SDK>gsutil mb gs://helloworld-123456-bucket
Creating gs://helloworld-123456-bucket/...
AccessDeniedException: 403 The project to be billed is associated with an absent billing account.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Cloud SDK>

Well … bissing is another chapter 🙂

Google Cloud: first create project, then create application

It seems quite obvious, first you create a project and eventually the application.
Well, as I could see it is not 100% clear.
If you just create the project, no app can be deployed and you would get something like

Beginning interaction for module default…
Feb 29, 2019 9:45:35 AM com.google.appengine.tools.admin.AbstractServerConnection send1
WARNING: Error posting to URL: https://appengine.google.com/api/appversion/getresourcelimits?app_id=helloworlddummyname-123456&version=1&
404 Not Found
This application does not exist (project_id=u’helloworlddummyname-123456′). To create an App Engine application in this project, run “gcloud app create” in your console.
This is try #0

As by the log, action is clear but some details are missing; here are 2 readymade options :
open Google Cloud Console, select your project and you should see something like this

(clear enough? ;)) press “Create Application” and select the region you prefer

or run the command from the Google Cloud SDK Shell
gcloud app create --project=[your project id] --region=[a region id]


I went for the cmd line 🙂

Netbeans, Google Cloud and Java7-8

Again, this is just a reminder for myself … and maybe helpful for other Java-beginners 😉

Wanted to try Google Cloud … with Java…and Netbeans.

I have been forwarded this helpfull tutorial: How to Setup Google App Engine Server in NetBeans IDE

Found two issues, relative small if you are in Java world for quite a while … but I start as a total beginner:

First: JAVA_HOME was missing.
I installed the JDK 1.8 (this jdk-8u212-windows-x64.exe here) and JAVA_HOME was missing, so for the 100% beginners out there a good tutorial is How to set JAVA_HOME on Windows 10

Second: could not deploy the hello world app and had this error messagE:

com.google.apphosting.utils.config.AppEngineConfigException: GAE Java7 is not supported anymore.

Unable to update app: GAE Java7 is not supported anymore.

Workaround seems well known: in my WebApplication edited appengine-web.xml and added

<runtime>java8</runtime>

more info on appengine-web.xml Reference

That’s all! 🙂

Team Foundation Server 2013 Customization by Gordon Beeming

Team Foundation Server 2013 Customization

Ecco “Team Foundation Server 2013 Customization” il terzo libro su TFS, fresco fresco da PackPub, dopo i precedenti due (qui e qui), ed anche questo letto tutto d’un fiato. 🙂

(No, non sono un TFS Ranger ma si sta creando una buona abitudine … 🙂 )

L’autore, Gordon Beeming, è un Microsoft ALM MVP e un ALM Ranger.

Gordon Beeming tratta diversi punti legati alla “customizzazione” (i puristi della lingua mi perdonino 🙂 ) di TFS; i molti che si trovano ad affrontare queste tematiche, troveranno in questo libro una guida passo passo (completa di screenshot!) per soddisfare le loro esigenze.

L’autore ha dato un filo logico legando così argomenti, rendendo la lettura veramente semplice e scorrevole; gli esempi sono semplici, chiari ed efficaci.

Eccovi sinteticamente l’indice degli argomenti:

• Personalizzare i Process Templates di TFS (i work item per intenderci)
• Aumentare l’usabilità web (modificare il Team Web Access)
• Sviluppare un custom control per il work item
• Creare un plugin lato server
• Creare un scheduled job
• Personalizzare il Build Process

Per ogni argomento vengono proposte varie alternative, e mostrate le operazioni più comuni (utili!) che si debono effettuare (ad esempio: sviluppo-installazione-debug ).

Mi devo fermare qui … spero e di non rivelato troppo la trama e di aver attirato la vostra attenzione. 🙂

Buona lettura.
