An error occurs when creating the cloud logging client #953
Description
I would like to use the following method without setting environment variables.
from google.cloud import logging
client = logging.Client.from_service_account_json(path of credentials.json)
However, the following error occurs.
Traceback (most recent call last):

google.auth.exceptions.DefaultCredentialsError: Could not automatically determine credentials. Please set GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS or
explicitly create credential and re-run the application. For more
information, please see
https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/application-default-credentials.
Is there a way to use without errors?
I do not want to use environment variables, but I want to use the credentials file directly when creating a Client object.

I think you need to also pass in the project explicitly in this case. See googleapis/google-cloud-python#1883.
For what it's worth, we highly recommend using the environment variable.
Closing, but please comment if that isn't the solution to your problem).
