Google-cloud-python: Google Cloud Tasks2

[fabltd]

Hi All

I am trying to implement the Google Cloud Tasks V2 Python libs.

Have tried to follow the docs. https://cloud.google.com/tasks/docs/creating-appengine-tasks

There are no mention of how to install the protobuf requirement required for:

from google.protobuf import timestamp_pb2.

Without this the follow error is produced:

cannot import name 'resource_pb2' from 'google.api' (/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages/google/api/__init__.py)

Have tried to pip install protobuf.

How to fix + please update docs.

Please use the installation directions for the google-cloud-tasks library.

Docs are wrong they state:

from google.protobuf import timestamp_pb2

The resolution seems to be:

from google.api import resource_pb2

How do we report a bug in the docs?

For anyone getting stuck on this issue, make sure all your google-* packages are up to date, especially googleapis-common-protos==1.5.10. Updating this fixed the import issue for me.

I was having the same issue with the pubsub module and this fixed it indeed:

pip install -U googleapis-common-protos==1.5.10
