Inputs

service_account_email: (Required) The service account email which will be used for authentication.
service_account_key: (Required) The service account key which will be used for authentication. This key should be created, encoded as a Base64 string (eg. cat my-key.json | base64 on macOS or Linux), and stored as a secret.
project_id: (Required) The project_id is google cloud platform project id. See this page to get it.
gae_variables: (Optional) App engine variables. This should be a json object encoded as a base64 string. This will be written into the app.yaml file at the root of your project. A sample variable file is shown here.

Note

Use 272.0.0 Google Cloud SDK by default on GitHub-hosted runners. If you need latest version, please refer to this action. But in most cases, this is enough.

Sample variable file

{
  "beta_settings": {
    "cloud_sql_instances": "my_sql_instance"
  },
  "env_variables": {
    "DB_CONNECTION": "mysql",
    "DB_HOST": "127.0.0.1",
    "DB_PORT": 3306,
    "DB_USER": "mydbuser",
    "DB_DATABASE": "my_database",
    "DB_PASSWORD": "password",
    "DB_SOCKET": "/cloudsql/mys_sql_instance"
  }
}

On a Mac you can encode this into a base64 string by running the following command;

base64 -i myvariables.json
