</code></pre>
<p>How can i get User project specified in the request is invalid when i am sure of my project id? in my terminal and skaffold.yaml, it's surely correct, it's hard to find solution for this, i'm stuck.</p>
<p>This is my skaffold.yaml:</p>
<pre><code>apiVersion: skaffold/v2alpha3
kind: Config
deploy:
  kubectl:
    manifests:
      - ./infra/k8s/*
build:

    - image: us.gcr.io/udemy-ticketing-dev-285506/auth
      context: auth
      docker:
        dockerfile: Dockerfile
      sync:
        manual:
          - src: &quot;src/**/*.ts&quot;
            dest: .

gpbaculio
<p>so after lots of hours of digging i finally found the solution for me:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>gcloud auth application-default login</p>
</blockquote>
<p>what weirded me out is that i already logged with:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>gcloud auth login</p>
</blockquote>
