Timeout creating client in Google Cloud Function

[adambozson]

I'm using service accounts set up and linked as per the documentation.
Setting the environment variable SECRETHUB_IDENTITY_PROVIDER=gcp, the python API works as expected inside containers running on GCP, e.g. in Cloud Run, under this service account.

I would like to access secrets inside serverless functions with python. Running the following in a Python 3.8 Google Cloud Function results in a hang and timeout:

import secrethub
client = secrethub.Client()

I have the appropriate service account and environment variable set on the Cloud Function. Egress is allowed to the internet. The secrethub package version is 0.1.1. Any tips would be appreciated (or even if someone could reproduce this), thanks!

Thank you for reporting this experience! I'm sorry this isn't working as expected.

We're currently reproducing the problem and will keep you up-to-date in this ticket.

We successfully reproduced the timeout. We're now investigating the underlying cause and possible solutions.

I've pinpointed the problem to a specific function in the GCP SDK and am now investigating why this function hangs for Python Cloud functions functions specifically. I will let you know as soon as I find a solution.
