The client library configuration is missing the required "use_proto_plus" key

[BrianM3]

I am running Python on windows. So I used pip install google-ads to install the google-ads library. But when I run the create_and_populate_list.py I get the following error:

The client library configuration is missing the required "use_proto_plus" key

So I then copied the file from google-ads.yaml and updated the required parameters. event the client_id, client_secret and refresh_token although these parameters also exist in googleads_config.yaml file. I the edited the create_andpopulate_list.py and added

client = GoogleAdsClient.load_from_storage("location of google-ads.yaml file")

but I still get the same error.

I then added the use_proto_plus: flag in the googleads_config.yaml. Still the same error.

Where must I put the googleads_config.yaml for this to work?

Please set this option to either "True" or "False".
