I am trying to create an instance with the Google Java API however I am getting an error:
{ "code" : 400, "errors" : [ { "domain" : "global", "message" : "Invalid value for field 'resource.machineType': 'https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/...snip.../zones/europe-west1-a/machineTypes/n1-standard-1'. Cross-project references for this resource type are not allowed.", "reason" : "invalid" } ], "message" : "Invalid value for field 'resource.machineType': 'https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/...snip.../zones/europe-west1-a/machineTypes/n1-standard-1'. Cross-project references for this resource type are not allowed." }
The code I am using:
Compute compute = getComputeService();
// uri reveals: https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/...projectid.../zones/europe-west1-a/machineTypes/n1-standard-1
String uri = GOOGLE_BASE + this.project + "/zones/" + zone + INSTANCETYPES + type;
Instance instance = new Instance();
instance.setName(name);
instance.setZone(zone);
instance.setMachineType(uri);
List<AttachedDisk> disks = new ArrayList<AttachedDisk>();
AttachedDisk boot = new AttachedDisk();
boot.setAutoDelete(false);
boot.setType(disk.getType());
boot.setBoot(true);
boot.setDeviceName(disk.getName());
disks.add(boot);
List<NetworkInterface> interfaces = new ArrayList<NetworkInterface>();
NetworkInterface nat = new NetworkInterface();
nat.setName("External NAT");
nat.setNetwork("ONE_TO_ONE_NAT");
instance.setNetworkInterfaces(interfaces);
instance.setDisks(disks);
Instances.Insert request = compute.instances().insert(name, zone, instance);
Operation result = request.execute();
