"Cannot determine the default location of the Google Cloud SDK" w/ deb package

[epall]

I installed the Google Cloud SDK for Ubuntu by following the Ubuntu Quickstart. This installed the SDK to /usr/lib/google-cloud-sdk. When I ran "mvn gcloud:deploy", it failed with the error message "Cannot determine the default location of the Google Cloud SDK" and a reference to "/usr/local/share/google/google-cloud-sdk". Looks like the code in Utils.java expects me to follow the "Quickstart for Linux" and extract the tarball in my home directory.

This creates a pretty poor initial experience for an Ubuntu/Debian user: they follow the instructions and wind up with a non-working installation, then have to go chase down this gcloud_directory thing, only to discover that installing components is disabled and they shouldn't have done it that way in the first place.

You can use for now the gcloud_directory parameter described in the README at https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gcloud-maven-plugin.

Is is already woking with the new Cloud SDK maven plugin? This one will be deprecated in the future.

A fix will be in the next release.

Im having a similar issue on windows, I've added to the pom file, I have the java engine installed and google cloud sdk installed and added to the path variable.... Any thoughts why it might not be working? @ludoch any help much appreciated
