Take the following .yaml file:

imports:
- path: apis.py
resources:
- name: test-project
  type: cloudresourcemanager.v1.project
  properties:
    name: test-project
    projectId: test-project
    parent:
      type: folder
      id: ''
- name: billing_test-project
  type: deploymentmanager.v2.virtual.projectBillingInfo
  metadata:
    dependsOn:
    - test-project
  properties:
    name: projects/test-project
    billingAccountName: billingAccountName
- name: apis
  type: apis.py
  properties:
    project: test-project
    billing: billing_test-project
    apis:
    - compute.googleapis.com
    concurrent_api_activation: true
- name: set-export-bucket
  action: gcp-types/compute-v1:compute.projects.setUsageExportBucket
  properties:
    project: test-project
    bucketName: gs://export-bucket
    reportNamePrefix: usage_gce_
  metadata:
    dependsOn:
    - test-project
    - test-project-compute.googleapis.com

When using the GCP Deployment Manager API to POST this YAML, I receive the following error message:

"Invalid config files: Template fetching failed: Failed to find imported template 'apis.py' for resource {name=apis, properties={apis=[compute.googleapis.com], billing=billing_test-project, concurrent_api_activation=true, project=test-project}, type=apis.py}"

I've followed the documentation for creating a template (https://cloud.google.com/deployment-manager/docs/step-by-step-guide/create-a-template), and the 'apis.py' file has been taken from the project creation example: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/deploymentmanager-samples/tree/master/examples/v2/project_creation

I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong here. I found another post where another user ran into a similar issue, but the answer was to use a schema: (Google Deploy Manager (Invalid config files: Template fetching failed / Failed to find resource)

However, I found a more recent post that said you don't need to specify a schema: Do GCP Deployment Manager templates require a schema file?

So, which is it? And if I do need to specify a schema, what does this look like using only .py files? (I don't have any .jinja files in my configuration at all.)

It could require to have the path where you put the apis.py in your machine, specified on the YAML in order to find it.

  • That is the most likely scenario. The path field must be the absolute or relative path.
