storage: some acl methods fail on empty (private) acl

[pdknsk]

Easiest to set this up with gsutil. Please notice the verbose message.

$ gsutil defacl set private gs://bucket
Setting default object ACL on gs://bucket/...
$ gsutil defacl get gs://bucket
No default object ACL present for gs://bucket. This could occur if the default object ACL is private, in which case objects created in this bucket will be readable only by their creators.

In particular acl.reload and acl.save don't work, probably others too.

>>> acl = storage.acl.DefaultObjectACL(bucket)
>>> acl.get_entities()
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
 File "/home/user/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gcloud/storage/acl.py", line 358, in get_entities
 self._ensure_loaded()
 File "/home/user/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gcloud/storage/acl.py", line 192, in _ensure_loaded
 self.reload()
 File "/home/user/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gcloud/storage/acl.py", line 409, in reload
 for entry in found['items']:
KeyError: 'items'
>>> acl.get_entities()
[]
>>> acl.reload()
Traceback (most recent call last):

 File "/home/user/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gcloud/storage/acl.py", line 409, in reload

KeyError: 'items'
>>> acl.save()

 File "/home/user/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gcloud/storage/acl.py", line 453, in save
 for entry in result[self._URL_PATH_ELEM]:
KeyError: 'defaultObjectAcl'

This works fine if the default ACL is set to project-private rather than private.

@pdknsk Thanks again for the great report!

I don't fully understand the meaning of private

It seems this is fixed easily by replacing found['items'] with found.get('items', []) and replacing result[self._URL_PATH_ELEM] with result.get(self._URL_PATH_ELEM, []).

Clarification: Are you authorized as yourself via gsutil when setting private?

Are you authorized as a service account when using gcloud-python?

[pdknsk]

It's a predefined ACL. I use the same owner account for both, set up with gcloud auth.

[dhermes]

@pdknsk Do you use gcloud auth with a user account (e.g. dannylobsternotrealemail@gmail.com) and then use a service account with gcloud-python?

[pdknsk]

Nope, it's a user account in both cases.
