Has anybody succesfully used the gcp_compute plugin with auth_kind: machineaccount?

There is some lack of documentation when it comes on using the gcp_compute plugin a different auth_kind other thatn serviceaccount.

My yml is this:

plugin: gcp_compute
projects:

  • my_project
    service_account_email: my_mail@gmail.com
    filters: null
    auth_kind: machineaccount

When I run it with ansible-inventory --list -i foo.gcp.yml

I get the following error:

Failed to parse /Users/user/Workspace/cluster_create/inventory/foo.gcp.yml with auto plugin:
HTTPConnectionPool(host=‘metadata.google.internal’, port=80): Max retries exceeded with url: /computeMetadata/v1/instance/service-
accounts/my_mail@gmail.com/?recursive=true (Caused by NewConnectionError(‘<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x111cc1090>: Failed to
establish a new connection: [Errno 8] nodename nor servname provided, or not known’,))

Am I missing something here?

`

plugin: gcp_compute
projects:

  • PROJECT
    service_account_email: ACCOUNT
    filters:
    auth_kind: machineaccount

`

I had some success with the following. Hopefully it will help someone since the Ansible documentation has no examples.
