After updating Google Cloud SDK 189.0.0, previously fine command bq query --nouse_legacy_sql " ... " now error as follow:

$ python --version Python 2.7.13 :: Anaconda, Inc. $ bq version This is BigQuery CLI 2.0.29 $ bq query --nouse_legacy_sql "SELECT country, model, iid, version, count(*) as n, max(t) AS t FROM an6.sm GROUP BY country, model, iid, version ORDER BY t DESC LIMIT 10 " bq.py should not be invoked. Use bq command instead. $

Answer 1

Try revoking and initializing your gcloud credentials:

gcloud auth revoke <credentials you're using>
gcloud auth login

or replace 'login' with the command you used to authenticate, if it was different.

Answer 2

If your previous state was a good one, you can revert the upgrade to 189.0.0 by executing:

gcloud components restore

Doing this reverted my SDK back to 172.0.1 and bq to 2.0.26 both which I could execute from the VM again.

$ bq query "SELECT COUNT(word) FROM [bigquery-public-data:samples.shakespeare] LIMIT 1000"
