Serverless: Configuration error: Unrecognized provider 'google'

[parkan]

This is a bit of headscratcher. I followed the guide but am getting an Unrecognized provider error, no google hits for this.

serverless create --template google-nodejs --path serverless-demo
cd serverless-demo
serverless plugin install --name serverless-google-cloudfunctions # guide said to only do npm install --save but that wouldn't have added the plugin to the serverless.yml, which makes me suspect the guide is not accurate

in serverless.yml I have (generated by the template plus my credentials/region)

service: serverless-demo

provider:
  name: google
  stage: dev
  runtime: nodejs8
  region: us-east1
  project: my-project
  # The GCF credentials can be a little tricky to set up. Luckily we've documented this for you here:
  # https://serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/google/guide/credentials/
  #
  # the path to the credentials file needs to be absolute
  credentials: ~/.gcp/credentials.json # contains the JSON downloaded from GCP with appropriate permissions

$ serverless --version
Framework Core: 1.78.1
Plugin: 3.7.0
SDK: 2.3.1

Running serverless anything generates the above error

I am not able to find any further steps in the docs, nor a way to list known providers. What am I missing?

running serverless deploy with SLS_DEBUG=* returns:

...
Serverless: Load command dev
Serverless: Configuration error: Unrecognized provider 'google'
Serverless: You're relying on provider plugin which doesn't provide a validation schema for its config.
Serverless: Please report the issue at its bug tracker linking: https://www.serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/aws/guide/plugins#extending-validation-schema
Serverless: You may turn off this message with `configValidationMode: off` setting
Serverless: Invoke deploy
Serverless: Invoke package
Serverless: Packaging service...
Serverless: Excluding development dependencies...
Serverless: Compiling function "first"...
  Error --------------------------------------------------

  Error: Permission denied on resource project my-project.
...

my one guess is that there is a GCP permissions error that's shadowed by the "unknown provider" error but that doesn't quite make sense given that the unknown provider message is way up the execution order

[parkan]

ok, re-running this with the provider name set to a random string gives

Serverless: Invoke deploy

  Serverless Error ---------------------------------------

  ServerlessError: The specified provider "asdsadas" does not exist.

which seems to imply the real error is with permissions and not the provider name, however the Unrecognized provider/ You're relying on provider plugin which doesn't provide a validation schema for its config error above is still worrying

should I expect the validation schema error?

[parkan]

ok, I had an error in my project name and fixing that results in a successful deployment, albeit with the same Unrecognized provider error

should I open a bug on the main serverless repo? this is particularly misleading b/c without SLS_DEBUG you never see the real error

[medikoo]

EDIT: Sorry I assumed this was reported to serverless and not here, hence my initial response was not adequate

@parkan the note under error you receive states:

You're relying on provider plugin which doesn't provide a validation schema for its config.

And this perfectly explains the situation. Your configuration is valid, it's just that provider plugin didn't provide a schema for the configuration it supports (therefore our validator doesn't recognize it, and shows Configuration error)

What we can improve, so this message is well understood?

[medikoo]

Sorry, I didn't note you report is in plugin directly.

Since v1.78.0 Serverless backs its configuration with schema based validation. So to fill in, this google provider plugin needs to configure schema for its case.

PR's welcome!

This error doesn't influence deployment, it's more a warning. It'll be reworded soon. See: serverless/serverless#8084
