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

from oauth2client import util
ImportError: cannot import name util

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.

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