required
    Choices:
  • machineaccount
  • serviceaccount
  • application
The type of credential used.
default_service
required
A reference to BackendService resource.
description
An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource.
host_rules
The list of HostRules to use against the URL.
description
An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource.
hosts

path_matcher
The name of the PathMatcher to use to match the path portion of the URL if the hostRule matches the URL's host portion.
name
Name of the resource. Provided by the client when the resource is created. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035.

path_matchers
The list of named PathMatchers to use against the URL.
default_service
A reference to BackendService resource.
description
An optional description of this resource.
name
The name to which this PathMatcher is referred by the HostRule.
path_rules
The list of path rules.
paths
The list of path patterns to match. Each must start with / and the only place a * is allowed is at the end following a /. The string fed to the path matcher does not include any text after the first ? or #, and those chars are not allowed here.
service
A reference to BackendService resource.
project
The Google Cloud Platform project to use.
scopes
required
Array of scopes to be used.
service_account_email
An optional service account email address if machineaccount is selected and the user does not wish to use the default email.

state
required
    Choices:
  • present
  • absent

Description of this test case.
host
Host portion of the URL.
path
Path portion of the URL.
service

Notes

Note

  • For authentication, you can set service_account_file using the GCP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_FILE env variable.
  • For authentication, you can set service_account_email using the GCP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL env variable.
  • For authentication, you can set auth_kind using the GCP_AUTH_KIND env variable.
  • For authentication, you can set scopes using the GCP_SCOPES env variable.
  • Environment variables values will only be used if the playbook values are not set.
  • The service_account_email and service_account_file options are mutually exclusive.
