Help: I'm getting this error when i run the script. ImportError: No module named common.utils

@yu-iskw
Many thanks for this example.

@Salad-King
You don't have to use get_default_google_cloud_connection_id() function, just replace it with a string like "get_default_google_cloud_connection_id".
It will be the value of the google_cloud_conn_id in airflow.

I was using DAG from this example for some time with postgress backend DB and everything worked perfectly well. Then we switched to cloudsql database and now running add_gcp_connection DAG does not insert anything into connection table. I am pretty new to Airflow and I would appreciate any suggestion what could be the reason and where I could look for an answer.

Hi Team,
When iam trying to excute the similar to the above script , iam facing the below error.
Attributerror:'sts' object has no attribute 'update'.

Kindly help me on this

Is there any way to connect with gcp without providing - /var/local/google_cloud_default.json ?
