No project information found in API response.

Error message

No project information found in API response.

What it means

Project discovery loaded a response from the Code Assist load/onboard endpoint that contained no cloudaicompanionProject field, and the fallback call to onboard_managed_project also returned None (it gives up after its 10 attempts). Without a project ID the provider cannot route generate requests.

Solutions

  1. Set GEMINI_PROJECT_ID to a valid Google Cloud project that has Gemini Code Assist enabled, bypassing discovery
  2. Manually trigger onboarding once in the Gemini CLI or Cloud Console with the same account, then retry
  3. Re-login with an account that is eligible for Gemini Code Assist (see the 403 MissingAuthError path in onboard_managed_project)
  4. Update g4f; discovery and onboarding payloads track the internal API

Example fix

// before
await provider.discover_project_id()  # raises

// after
os.environ['GEMINI_PROJECT_ID'] = 'my-gcp-project'  # skip discovery
Defensive patterns

Strategy: fallback

Validate before calling

import os

if not os.environ.get("GEMINI_PROJECT_ID"):
    # discovery will run and may fail; set it explicitly when you can
    print("warning: GEMINI_PROJECT_ID unset; project discovery will be attempted")

Try / catch

try:
    project = await provider.discover_project_id()
except RuntimeError as e:
    if "No project information" in str(e) or "discover project ID" in str(e):
        project = os.environ.get("GEMINI_PROJECT_ID")
        if not project:
            raise

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: discover_project_id succeeds at HTTP level but load_response.get('cloudaicompanionProject') is falsy, and onboard_managed_project finishes all attempts without a done operation, so the RuntimeError fires.

Common situations: Google account has no Cloud AI Companion / Code Assist project and auto-onboarding is blocked; region or workspace restrictions preventing managed-project creation; the free-tier onboarding endpoint changed.
