This is because we detect the Google Cloud SDK json credentials file exists, and use those to set credentials in `ServiceOptions`.  As a result, requests attempt to use these credentials (even though they aren't necessary) and fail.  \n\nShould we:\n1) Document that you should use `gcloud auth login` when using local test helpers?\nor \n2) Figure out how to parse the credentials to figure out that they're valid or revoked?\nI notice that under \".config/gcloud/legacy_credentials\", the folder corresponding to my gcloud email account is removed when I revoke credentials.  However, I'm unsure that that's a valid way to check for revoked credentials.  The other files related to credentials in that directory don't seem to indicate whether they are valid or revoked.\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/ajkannan","@type":"Person","name":"ajkannan"},"datePublished":"2016-03-04T02:46:16.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":2},"url":"https://github.com/710/google-cloud-java/issues/710"}
