"Backend Error" when setting file ACL

[knation]

Trying to set ACL after uploading and consistently getting a "Backend Error" when trying to set ACL. File uploads fine each time.

var image = myBucket.file('foo.jpg');
var imageWriteStream = image.createWriteStream({ contentType: 'image/jpeg' });

imageWriteStream.on('complete', function() {
  // Set ACL
  image.acl.add({
    scope: 'allUsers',
    role:  gcloud.storage.acl.READER_ROLE
  }, function(err) {
    // FAILING HERE
    console.log(err);
  });
});

my Stream.pipe(imageWriteStream);

Thanks for reporting, I'll check it out!

Just confirming, are you on gcloud version 0.18?

[knation]

Sorry about that. No, I'm on v0.15.0. The version installed through NPM. Is there an ETA of when v0.18 will be in NPM?

[stephenplusplus]

It's actually out now. What value do you have in your package.json?

[knation]

My bad. I must have previously installed it so it was stuck on v0.15. I updated and the problem persists.

Is the messaging still Backend error? We actually changed how errors are patched from the API - maybe it's more helpful this time around. At the very least, it should be "Error during request".

Oops, I just noticed we have incorrect docs. The parameter to use is actually entity instead of scope. Not sure that will be the fix here, but let's hope 🎌

Hey, that was it, thanks!
