fusermount doesn't work on OSX

[mastoj]

In which file did you encounter the issue?

https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/python-docs-samples/blob/master/composer/tools/copy_environment.py

Did you change the file? If so, how?

Yes, https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/python-docs-samples/blob/master/composer/tools/copy_environment.py#L435 changed to:

subprocess.call(["umount", fuse_dir])

Describe the issue

fusermount seems to be linux specific command. Changing to umount on OSX did the trick.

@mastoj can you give me the details? I also have a similar problems

[mastoj]

@irvifa the easiest approach is probably to this through the cloud console, but here is how I solved it on OSX:

1. Install gcsfuse
2. Install/make sure cloud_sql_proxy is in your path
3. If you are using OSX you need to change script to use umount instead of fusermount
4. Run the script with something like: GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS= python copy_environment.py --running_as_service_account

@mastoj what's the relationship between cloudsql and the osxfuse by the way?
anyway i always failed in the term of mounting my gcs to my local, just wondering if this issue affect the script as well since i don't be able to mount the gcs.

[mastoj]

@irvifa. There’s no direct relation more than in this script. The script mount gcs to be able to make the cloud sql backup and store the result on gcs, if I’m not mistaking. So I guess you need it mounted for the script to work.

@mastoj I see, it's working exactly after I applied what you're suggesting before 🙂

PR #1915 should deal with this environmental variation.
