I'm attempting to use the mb command to create a bucket on Google Cloud Storage but am getting
CommandException: The mb command requires a URL that specifies a bucket.
The odd part is that while
gsutil mb gs://foo/bar1
returns this error,
gsutil ls gs://foo/bar2
correctly lists files in gs://foo/bar2. I don't see how gs://foo/bar2 can be a valid URL while gs://foo/bar1 isn't. Is anyone able to shed some light here?
gs://foo/bar1 is a URL that specifies an object, bar1, within a bucket, foo. The gsutil mb command requires a URL signifying a bucket, e.g. gs://foo. The gsutil ls command can accept both bucket and object URLs.
gsutil mb makes a bucket. "gs://foo" specifies a bucket, specifically the bucket 'foo'. "gs://foo/bar1" specifies an object rather than just a bucket. "foo/bar1" isn't a bucket.

I deleted an existing bucket on google cloud storage using:
gsutil rm -r gs://www.<mydomain>.com
I then verify then bucket was deleted using:
gcloud storage ls gs://www.<mydomain>.com
And I get expected response:
ERROR: (gcloud.storage.ls) gs://www.<mydomain>.com not found: 404.
I then verify then bucket was deleted using:
gsutil ls
And I get expected empty response.
I then tried to recreate a new bucket with same name using:
gsutil mb -p <projectid> -c STANDARD -l US-EAST1 -b on gs://www.<mydomain>.com
I get the unexpected error below indicating bucket still exists:
www.<mydomain>.com
Creating gs://www.<mydomain>.com/...
ServiceException: 409 A Cloud Storage bucket named 'www.<mydomain>.com' already exists. Try another name. Bucket names must be globally unique across all Google Cloud projects, including those outside of your organization.
How can I reuse the bucket name for the bucket that I deleted?
I found the answer to my question here:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/44763841
Basically I had deleted the project the bucket was in before or after (not sure) deleting the bucket. For some reason this causes the bucket to still appear to exist even though it does not. The behavior does not seem quite right to me but I believe waiting for billing period to complete and project to be deleted would delete the phantom bucket. Unfortunately this means I have to wait 2 weeks. I will confirm this in 2 weeks.
I am trying to use IBM Cloud Object Storage to store images uploaded to my site by users. I have this functionality working just fine.
However, based on the documentation here (link) it appears as though only one object can be downloaded from a bucket at a time.
Is there any way a list of objects could all be downloaded from the bucket? Is there a different approach to requesting multiple objects from a COS bucket?
Via the REST API, no, you can only download a single object at a time. But most tools (like the AWS CLI, or Minio Client) allow downloading all objects that share a prefix (eg foo/bar and foo/bas). The IBM forks of the S3 libraries also are now integrated with Aspera, and can transfer large directories all at once. What are you trying to do?
According to S3 spec (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/RESTObjectGET.html), you can only download one object at a time.
There are various tools which may help to download multiple objects at a time from COS. I used AWS CLI tool to download and upload the objects from/to COS.
So install aws-cli tool and configure it by supplying access_key_id and secret_access_key here.
Recursively copying S3 objects to a local directory: When passed with the parameter --recursive, the following cp command recursively copies all objects under a specified prefix and bucket to a specified directory.
C:\Users\Shashank>aws s3 cp s3://yourBucketName . --recursive
for example:
C:\Users\Shashank>aws --endpoint-url http://s3.us-east.cloud-object-storage.appdomain.cloud s3 cp s3://yourBucketName D:\s3\ --recursive
In my case having endpoint based on us-east region and I am copying objects into D:\s3 directory.
Recursively copying local files to S3: When passed with the parameter --recursive, the following cp command recursively copies all files under a specified directory to a specified bucket.
C:\Users\Shashank>aws s3 cp myDir s3://yourBucketName/ --recursive
for example:
C:\Users\Shashank>aws --endpoint-url http://s3.us-east.cloud-object-storage.appdomain.cloud s3 cp D:\s3 s3://yourBucketName/ --recursive
I am copying objects from D:\s3 directory to COS.
For more reference, you can see the link here.
I hope it works for you.
I am following the steps of setting up Django on Google App Engine, and since Gunicorn does not serve static files, I have to store my static files to Google Cloud Storage.
I am at the line with "Create a Cloud Storage bucket and make it publically readable." on https://cloud.google.com/python/django/flexible-environment#run_the_app_on_your_local_computer. I ran the following commands as suggested:
$ gsutil mb gs://your-gcs-bucket
$ gsutil defacl set public-read gs://your-gcs-bucket
The first command is supposed to create a new storage bucket, and the second line sets its default ACL. When I type in the command, the second line returns an error.
Setting default object ACL on gs://your-gcs-bucket/...
AccessDeniedException: 403 Forbidden
I also tried other commands setting or getting acl, but all returns the same error, with no additional information.
I am a newbie with google cloud services, could anyone point out what is the problem?
I figured it out myself, and it is kind of silly. I didn't notice if the first command is successful or not. And apparently it did not.
For a newbie like me, it is important to note that things like bucket name and project name are global across its space. And what happened was that the name I used to create a new bucket is already used by other people. And no wonder that I do not have permission to access that bucket.
A better way to work with this is to name the bucket name wisely, like prefixing project name and application name.
Question: can wildcards be used in GCS bucketnames with gsutil?
I want to grab multiple files in GCS using wildcards that are split across buckets. But, I'm consistently running into errors when using wildcards in bucket names with gsutil. I'm using wildcards like this:
gsutil ls gs://myBucket-abcd-*/log/data_*
I want to match all these file names (variations in bucket name AND in object name):
gs://myBucket-abcd-1234/log/data_foo.csv
gs://myBucket-abcd-1234/log/data_bar.csv
gs://myBucket-abcd-5678/log/data_foo.csv
gs://myBucket-abcd-5678/log/data_bar.csv
Documentation on Bucket Wildcards tells me I should be able to use wildcards both in the bucketname and object name, but the code sample above always gets "BadRequestException: 400 Invalid argument."
gsutil is otherwise working when I use no wildcards or use wildcards in the object name only. But adding a wildcard to the bucket name results in the error. Are there workarounds to make the wildcard work in bucket names, or am I misinterpreting the linked documentation?
Found that not being able to use bucket wildcards in this case is working as intended, and is due to differences in permission settings. Google Cloud Storage permissions can be set at both bucket and project levels.
Though the access token used in this case can access every individual bucket, it doesn't have reader/editor/owner access to the top-level project (shared across many users of the system). Without access to the project, wildcards cannot be used on buckets.
This can be fixed by having a project owner add the user as a reader/editor/owner to the project.
In this case, for security reasons we can't give an individual token access to all buckets in the project, but its helpful to understand why the wildcard didn't work. Thanks all for the input, and especially Travis for the contact.
Some shells (Zsh) is trying to expand the * and ** , so you need to include these inside quotation marks. Like this
gsutil ls 'gs://myBucket-abcd-*/log/data_*'
I found it here gsutil returning "no matches found"
I am trying to create a bucket using gsutil mb command:
gsutil mb -c DRA -l US-CENTRAL1 gs://some-bucket-to-my-gs
But I am getting this error message:
Creating gs://some-bucket-to-my-gs/...
BadRequestException: 400 Invalid argument.
I am following the documentation from here
What is the reason for this type of error?
I got the same error. I was because I used the wrong location.
The location parameter expects a region without specifying witch zone.
Eg.
sutil mb -p ${TF_ADMIN} -l europe-west1-b gs://${TF_ADMIN}
Should have been
sutil mb -p ${TF_ADMIN} -l europe-west1 gs://${TF_ADMIN}
One reason this error can occur (confirmed in chat with the question author) is that you have an invalid default_project_id configured in your .boto file. Ensure that ID matches your project ID in the Google Developers Console
If you can make a bucket successfully using the Google Developers Console, but not using "gsutil mb", this is a good thing to check.
I was receiving the same error for the same command while using gsutil as well as the web console. Interestingly enough, changing my bucket name from "google-gatk-test" to "gatk" allowed the request to go through. The original name does not appear to violate bucket naming conventions.
Playing with the bucket name is worth trying if anyone else is running into this issue.
Got this error and adding the default_project_id to the .boto file didn't work.
Took me some time but at the end i deleted the credentials file from the "Global Config" directory and recreated the account.
Using it on windows btw...
This can happen if you are logged into the management console (storage browser), possibly a locking/contention issue.
May be an issue if you add and remove buckets in batch scripts.
In particular this was happening to me when creating regionally diverse (non DRA) buckets :
gsutil mb -l EU gs://somebucket
Also watch underscores, the abstraction scheme seems to use them to map folders. All objects in the same project are stored at the same level (possibly as blobs in an abstracted database structure).
You can see this when downloading from the browser interface (at the moment anyway).
An object copied to gs://somebucket/home/crap.txt might be downloaded via a browser (or curl) as home_crap.txt. As a an aside (red herring) somefile.tar.gz can come down as somefile.tar.gz.tar so a little bit of renaming may be required due to the vagaries of the headers returned from the browser interface anyway. Min real support level is still $150/mth.
I had this same issue when I created my bucket using the following commands
MY_BUCKET_NAME_1=quiceicklabs928322j22df
MY_BUCKET_NAME_2=MY_BUCKET_NAME_1
MY_REGION=us-central1
But when I decided to add dollar sign $ to the variable MY_BUCKET_NAME_1 as MY_BUCKET_NAME_2=$MY_BUCKET_NAME_1 the error was cleared and I was able to create the bucket
I got this error when I had capital letter in the bucket name
