Jx: I got some difficulties with Jenkins X.. jx create cluster gke

[enkicoma]

I am on mac OS Sierra V: 10.13, and after typing jx create cluster gke in CLI I got an error Error: Command failed gcloud auth login --brief error creating cluster exit status 1 error: exit status 1

and in gcloud auth login --brief is this error WARNING: Failed to start a local webserver listening on any port between 8085 and 8186. Please check your firewall settings or locally running programs that may be blocking or using those ports. WARNING: Defaulting to URL copy/paste mode. Go to the following link in your browser:

I saw some people face the same problems... > https://pastebin.com/dRsLjg42
Any idea?

Many thanks for your time and help!

@enkicoma I think he ment --verbose=true or --verbose. This gives you more output on what's actually happening

[jstrachan]

what happens if you just type:

gcloud auth login --brief

on your machine? Is there a firewall preventing access to sockets 8085-8186?

We may need to raise an issue against glcloud if we cannot figure out the error

[jstrachan]

sorry I meant --verbose not -v ;)

[enkicoma]

@beerkeeper

ERROR: There was a problem with web authentication. Try running again with --no-launch-browser.
ERROR: (gcloud.auth.login) EOF when reading a line
Enter verification code: Error: Command failed gcloud auth login --brief
error creating cluster exit status 1
error: exit status 1

and in gcloud auth login --brief is the same Warning from above

[enkicoma]

@jstrachan after gcloud auth login --brief output is here:

WARNING: Failed to start a local webserver listening on any port between 8085 and 8186. Please check your firewall settings or locally running programs that may be blocking or using those ports.

does clicking on that link after Go to the following link in your browser: help? Sounds like this is a google cloud / gcloud issue though with your laptop

[enkicoma]

@jstrachan Yep after copy/paste that links in my browser I just authorize myself to use that account. After is giving me a code to put in my CLI and after pressing enter just kicking me out and nothing happens.

[jstrachan]

so you are unable to authenticate with gcloud directly right? Please could you raise an issue with Google Cloud.

Once you can login to Google Cloud directly you should be able to use jx create cluster gke provided your account has a project ID defined in the Google Cloud UI.

BTW you can omit the glcoud login option via jx create cluster gke --skip-login see https://jenkins-x.io/commands/jx_create_cluster_gke/

[jstrachan]

I wasn't sure the best URL from these https://cloud.google.com/support/docs/issue-trackers to raise an issue against gcloud auth login

probably this one? https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/new?component=187077&template=0

[enkicoma]

@jstrachan jx create cluster gke --skip-login helps me 👍
yep, I will try to raise an issue

Many thanks for your help!

[jstrachan]

I'm gonna mark this as fixed for now; let us know and we can always reopen if need be. BTW I mentioned --skip-login along with installing via the Google Cloud Shell in the docs: https://jenkins-x.io/getting-started/create-cluster/#using-the-google-cloud-shell
