Compatible with Splunk_TA_google-cloudplatform ?

[jypyking]

Hi,

I've installed this add-on on a HF that also have the Splunk_TA_google-cloudplatform add-on. For some reason it looks like this IA is trying to use the oauth2client lib from the Splunk_TA_google-cloudplatform instead of the one from its own folder and fail.
I tried adding the _init_.py file in "/opt/splunk/etc/apps/IA-GSuiteForSplunk/bin" but it doesn't change anything.
Any clue ?
Thanks.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/splunk/bin/rest_handler.py", line 79, in
print splunk.rest.dispatch(**params)
File "/opt/splunk/lib/python2.7/site-packages/splunk/rest/init.py", line 149, in dispatch

Thanks! Actually copying the util.py file from the cloudplatform app to the Gsuite app fixed it 🙂

Due to App Precedence, Splunk will pull the library from the first path location it finds. This is an issue with the way core Splunk implements the framework. A solution could be to see if Splunk_TA_googlecloudplatform works with the oauth2client that ships with G Suite, and replace the Splunk one. You can also move the util folder from Splunk_TA_gcp and stick it in the GSuite/bin folder so that the import works correctly.
