Getting notAuthorized error with cloud_sql_proxy locally

Question

I\'m trying to setup a connection locally for 2nd generation cloud sql instance.

Call for the proxy is

./cloud_sql_proxy -dir=/cloudsql -instances=status         


        

Answer 1

For my case, there are two mistakes that I did:

1. Make sure you use your correct project for the cloud sql instance.

   $gcloud config set project my-project

2. Use the correct connectionName. If you're like me following google documentation, you will possibly end up put square brackets in your connectionName. Remove them.
