How to set path to Google API credentials.json file in .ENV?
I got a json file from a Google API service account thats in the root folder. The environment variable was set with full path to the file like so:
GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="C:/Users/marod/Desktop/text2speech/tapp/credentials.json"
It worked fine for now. But I know when I push to production it won't find the file.
So I tried doing it like:
GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="/tapp/credentials.json"
but it just gives error message:
"Google\ApiCore\ValidationException Could not construct ApplicationDefaultCredentials"
Is their better way to reference this file so that it always locates the json file even in production?
Any help would be appreciated.

@faizi_856 Use keys and secrets instead, and set those values in your .env file.

Try in your function before constructing the client putenv("GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/path/to/service-account.json");
