Under Ubuntu environment, NodeJS Google Vision complains:
Error: Unable to detect a Project Id in the current environment.
Even though I already put json credential through
$ export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/var/credential_google.json"
Please help.

If you get the error "Unable to detect a Project Id in the current environment.", it means the auth library cannot find the project default id. You need to have a base project in Google Cloud set, regardless of environmental variables and project you're running. It will load the project environment.
How to Find Google Project ID 1 Go to the API Console. 2 From the projects list, select Manage all projects. The names and IDs for all the projects you're a member of are displayed. See More....
You need to have a base project in Google Cloud set, regardless of environmental variables and project you're running. It will load the project environment. This also allows you to deploy easier with: App engine has security setup automatically with standard environments. With flex you can use one of the manage images Google Provides.
There are two ways to identify your project: the project name and project ID. You create the project name when you create the project. The project ID is a unique identifier for a project and is used only within the console. When you first create a project, you can accept the default generated project ID or create your own.
It's not recommended to use a .json config file locally. I've seen these leak on production servers causing whole platforms to be deleted + the introduce environmental switching and security issues.
Setup Google Cloud CLI.
Now the server will 'look' at the local environment and use that.

Run
gcloud config set project [some-project-id]
Now if you run (node example)
"dev": "NODE_ENV=dev GCP_PROJECT=some-project-id nodemon index.ts",
It will load the project environment. This also allows you to deploy easier with:
"deploy:dev": "y | gcloud app deploy --project some-dev-project app.yaml",
"deploy:prod": "y | gcloud app deploy --project some-prod-project app.yaml"
