generate_custom_image script doesn't work

[JSPromisel]

I tried running the following command:

python generate_custom_image.py --image-name some-name --dataproc-version 2.0.36-ubuntu18 --zone us-east1-c --disk-size 100 --metadata somekey=somevalue --customization-script /tmp/script.sh --gcs-bucket some-bucket

And got the following error:

INFO:custom_image_utils.args_inferer:Getting Dataproc base image name...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "generate_custom_image.py", line 95, in <module>
    main()

    "Cannot find dataproc base image with dataproc-version=%s." % version)
RuntimeError: Cannot find dataproc base image with dataproc-version=2.0.36-ubuntu18.

But I believe this version does exist. Looking into this further, I tried recreating the gcloud command run to verify the dataproc version:

gcloud compute images list --project cloud-dataproc --filter "labels.goog-dataproc-version = 2-0-36 AND NOT name ~ -eap$ AND status = READY" --format "csv[no-heading=true](name,labels.goog-dataproc-version)" --sort-by=~creationTimestamp

And I get the following warning:

WARNING: --filter : operator evaluation is changing for consistency across Google APIs.  labels.goog-dataproc-version=2-0-36 currently does not match but will match in the near future.  Run `gcloud topic filters` for details.

If this repository is no longer maintained and shouldn't be used, can someone point me to how I should go about creating a custom image? From what I can tell, the docs still say to use this script. I even tried on a vm where I installed the recommended GCloud version (181.0.0) which is from 2017 and it still didn't work.

@JSPromisel - can you please confirm that the custom image generator works for you? I exercise the script thoroughly using the following command:

$ docker build -f Dockerfile -t custom-image-builder:latest . ; time docker run -it custom-image-builder:latest bash examples/secure-boot/build-current-images.sh
