What happened?

after i mistakenly created a google cloud project, by following the insturction of goole assist extension of vscode, i am unable to fix the 403 forbidden problem in gemini CLI even i delete the gcloud project later. i think i am a personal account with no organization (it is shown in gcloud project too).

What did you expect to happen?

personal account should not be asked to create gcloud project at all as the markdown file suggest the most situation.

Anything else we need to know?

i used to use the google assist extension and gemini cli successfully, only encounter the gcloud project request today

extent analysis

TL;DR

The 403 Forbidden problem in Gemini CLI may be resolved by re-authenticating or re-configuring the Google Cloud project settings.

Guidance

  • Verify that the Google Cloud project deletion was successful and there are no remaining resources or permissions associated with the deleted project.
  • Check the Gemini CLI authentication method and ensure it is not trying to use the deleted Google Cloud project for authentication.
  • Try re-authenticating with the Gemini CLI using the /login command to see if it resolves the 403 Forbidden issue.
  • If the issue persists, try resetting the Google Assist extension settings in VSCode to ensure it is not causing any conflicts with the Gemini CLI.

Example

No code snippet is provided as it is not clearly supported by the issue.

Notes

The root cause of the issue is unclear, and it may be related to the Google Cloud project deletion or the Gemini CLI authentication method. Further investigation is needed to determine the exact cause.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Re-authenticate with the Gemini CLI using the /login command, as it may resolve the 403 Forbidden issue without requiring a full fix.
