Unexpected behavior. "ratatool BigDiffy ..." command ignores the "--project" argument.

[nvmalovichko]

I have found an unexpected behavior while setting a specific --project argument. If I set a project using a gcloud command gcloud config set project example-project, the command ratatool bigDiffy ... --project XYZ surprisingly ignores the input --project argument and tries to use a example-project project.

It can be fixed by setting the project using gcloud: gcloud config set project XYZ

The error messages:

[main] INFO org.apache.beam.sdk.extensions.gcp.options.GcpOptions$DefaultProjectFactory - Inferred default GCP project 'example-project' from gcloud. If this is the incorrect project, please cancel this Pipeline and specify the command-line argument --project.
