hi < Nelson Griffiths> can you share how you re trying to template in your credentials

Nelson Griffiths · Answer

< Nate> Here it is I think I followed the example exactly ```push prefect gcp projects steps push project to gcs requires prefect gcp gt =0 4 0 bucket dr dev us east1 prefect flows folder data monitoring credentials prefect blocks gcp credentials gcp creds ```

Nate · Answer

ah can you try with double quotes i think you re getting the literal string value by using single quotes

Nelson Griffiths · Answer

I get the exact same error with double quotes

Nate · Answer

hmm ok i will try to reproduce

Nate · Answer

did you create the secret through the UI or the python sdk i think the secret value may be returned with the wrong type by the API here

Nelson Griffiths · Answer

I created the block through the UI Quite awhile ago

Nelson Griffiths · Answer

Should I try to create a new block and do it again

alex · Answer

I recommend recreating the block There was an issue a while back with the GCP Credentials block where the service account info was saved as a JSON string instead of as an object We can add handling to attempt to parse JSON strings so that this error doesn t happen but hopefully recreating the block unblocks you

Nelson Griffiths · Answer

< alex> That worked thank you Should ve tried that first joy

Wolfgang Steitz · Answer

I created an issue yesterday with the same problem <https github com PrefectHQ prefect gcp issues 179> I ll try recreating the block

Wolfgang Steitz · Answer

That worked Thanks for the tip

Wolfgang Steitz · Answer

Should I leave the ticket open

alex · Answer

Yes you can leave the ticket open We ll add some type checking and better error handling to prevent users from hitting this in the future
