Please add support for defaultuseraccount on macOS #1

Closed call closed 5 years ago

It would be great if this module understood how to load gcloud default user creds on macOS. If a user can begin playing with the google-cloud modules on their Mac workstation using puppet apply, without having to generate a service account, if would make it quicker and easier to discover the value of these modules.

Default user credentials don't live at this same path on macOS; I assume they are now stored in ~/.config/gcloud/credentials.db. Using Google Cloud SDK v180.0.1. https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/puppet-google-auth/blob/fd42778b9745daf7cc0362a94cad81c6fdc2ae85/lib/google/authorization.rb#L121-L122

The credentials.db is now encoded using SQLite3 and attempting to support it would require all installations to have sqlite3 packages installed.

Instead we'll be adding support for application-default authentication mechanism and deprecating the defaultuseraccount. That aligns with how applications are supposed to take dependencies on Google Cloud SDK (as credentials.db is an internal gcloud resource and can change at any time).

A change that implements these new features is coming out soon.
