Summary of the issue

Context I tried to list zones in a project using google-cloud-compute SDK and it's broken with the protobuf=5.28.0. I have replicated this behavior with clean python environment.

Expected Behavior: The code from https://cloud.google.com/python/docs/reference/compute/latest/google.cloud.compute_v1.services.zones.ZonesClient#google_cloud_compute_v1_services_zones_ZonesClient_list works.

Actual Behavior:

(gcp_bug) PS C:\Projects\aiops-library\mlops\experiments\google-cloud-compute-bug> python get_zones.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

google.api_core.exceptions.BadRequest: 400 GET https://compute.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/xxx/zones?project=: Invalid resource field value in the request.

It all works with protobuf==5.27.4. So there must be something broken in https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/releases/tag/v28.0

API client name and version

google-cloud-compute==1.19.2

Reproduction steps: code

file: get_zones.py

from google.cloud import compute_v1

# Create a client
client = compute_v1.ZonesClient()

# Initialize request argument(s)
request = compute_v1.ListZonesRequest(
    project="xxx",
)

# Make the request
page_result = client.list(request=request)
print(page_result)

Hi @racinmat,

Thanks for reporting this issue. The issue has been fixed upstream in https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/pull/18159. We'll keep this issue open until a new version of protobuf is available.

This issue is obsolete. The issue was fixed upstream in protobuf.
