Emulator Crashing with CloudLogging XML Policy Present
- even if not used

Google Cloud Apigee
1

It seems that simply having the policy as a file, even if it’s commented out and not actively used, causes issues with the Cloud Code VSCode Extension Apigee emulator. I have to delete the XML policy file for the emulator to function correctly.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<MessageLogging name="ML-CloudLogging-API-Activity" continueOnError="true" enabled="true">
    <DisplayName>ML-CloudLogging-API-Activity</DisplayName>
    <CloudLogging>
        <LogName>projects/logs</LogName>
        <Message contentType="application/json">{
            "timestamp": "{system.time}",
            "debug": "Cloud logging test message"
        }</Message>
        <ResourceType>global</ResourceType>
    </CloudLogging>
    <logLevel>INFO</logLevel>
</MessageLogging>

giving this error

I don’t know why you’d be seeing that.

Have you purchased a GCP support plan?

Do you have a billing account set up?

BTW - For “free evaluation” there is no GCP Support.
