gsutil signurl — Failure: __init__() takes exactly 4 arguments (2 given)

Hi! When I run this command:

gsutil signurl -d 10m -p notasecret service_account_key.p12 gs://[REDACTED]/rawdata/**

It crashes with the following error message:

Failure: __init__() takes exactly 4 arguments (2 given).

The glob ending in ** expands to 10 files in total. Before crashing, the command outputs correctly formed and working links for some of those files, but the number of them is not consistent. Just before posting this, I ran the command three times (one after another), and it crashed after printing 6; 3; and 4 links.

I’m having no issues with internet connection or permissions for that directory in storage, and other gsutil commands work just fine for me. I’m using gsutil version: 4.22, the latest available at the moment.

You are correct in your analysis - I didn’t notice when I read through the code the first time that we were using a fixed value. Thanks for pointing that out.

Checking final_url isn’t feasible because we only want to probe with HEAD (we shouldn’t, for example, PUT data for a PUT signed URL, or start a resumable upload). So I like your first suggestion of increasing the timeout to 60, which will increase resilience. It will still be problematic if the user’s system clock substantially diverges, but this should cover most cases.

The commit thobrla made should address this; we’re planning on testing and hopefully releasing v4.23 of gsutil in a couple of weeks. That version should contain a fix for the issue you’re seeing.
