Gcloud CLI Upgrade Failing Due to Missing Pip3

Upgrading gcloud CLI is failing. pip3 is very much present in the exact same path mentioned in the error below. Tried gcloud reinstall but landing into the same error
ERROR: (gcloud.config.virtualenv.update) /Users/xxx/.config/gcloud/virtenv/bin/pip3: command not found. Doesn’t seem to version related happening for the last 5-10 upgrades
Current version: 526.0.1
Upgrade version:- 527.0.1

I had not face this previously, but it seems similar to java where you can have multiple versions at multiple locations, but the location pointed at the javapath is the one taken first. Because the path seems related to the environment configs. Hopefully it can help you. It could be helpful to include more information

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately that’s the only error i have. Maybe i should look for the gcloud global flag and run in verbose mode, let me try to find the syntax. Also i have only one version of python installed on my mac.

I don’t find any relation with the local resources, as you are working at the virtual environment, at Java as a first probe it could be better trying to run the code from the javac folder, doing this way you can know there is all right with the installation at least

I don’t want to get into the java side of things :slightly_smiling_face:

Yes I understand, stay easy with py it is also powerfull for ml and automation, sometimes could be easier for me to give a saple with java as I did it for years, but the point is it seems similar to the errors where bins are missed because a misconfiguration

Then you can do a quick check by prompting at the path and running any test, just to verify the download correctness
