Unable to upload empty file?

See original GitHub issue

macOS 10.12.6, Python 3.6.2, google-cloud-storage 1.2.0.

It seems that if a file is empty, I cannot upload it:

blob = storage.Blob(dest_filename, bucket, chunk_size=262144)
blob.upload_from_filename(src_filename, content_type=content_type)

Error:

File "storage.py", line 88, in upload_from_file
    blob.upload_from_filename(src_filename, content_type=content_type)

When uploading a folder, it’d be ideal if I don’t need to check whether a file is empty before uploading. Or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!
