Automated: Migrate paths from gsutil to gcloud storage

This CL is part of the on going effort to migrate from the legacy gsutil tool to the new and improved gcloud storage command-line interface. gcloud storage is the recommended and modern tool for interacting with Google Cloud Storage, offering better performance, unified authentication, and a more consistent command structure with other gcloud components. 🚀

Automation Details

This change was generated automatically by an agent that targets users of gsutil.
The transformations applied are based on the gsutil to gcloud storage migration guide.

⚠️ Action Required: Please Review and Test Carefully

While we have based the automation on the migration guide, every use case is unique.
It is crucial that you thoroughly test these changes in environments appropriate to your use-case before merging.
Be aware of potential differences between gsutil and gcloud storage that could impact your workflows.
For instance, the structure of command output may have changed, requiring updates to any scripts that parse it. Similarly, command behavior can differ subtly; the gcloud storage rsync command has a different file deletion logic than gsutil rsync, which could lead to unintended file deletions.

Our migration guides can help guide you through a list of mappings and some notable differences between the two tools.

Standard presubmit tests are run as part of this CL's workflow. If you need to target an additional test workflow or require assistance with testing, please let us know.

Please verify that all your Cloud Storage operations continue to work as expected to avoid any potential disruptions in production.

Support and Collaboration

The GCS CLI team is here to help! If you encounter any issues, have a complex use case that this automated change doesn't cover, or face any other blockers, please don't hesitate to reach out.
We are happy to work with you to test and adjust these changes as needed.

Contact: gcs-cli-hyd@google.com

We appreciate your partnership in this important migration effort!

Summary of Changes

Hello @googlyrahman, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request is a significant step in migrating existing Google Cloud Storage operations from the legacy gsutil tool to the more modern and recommended gcloud storage command-line interface. The changes, automatically applied across various Jupyter notebooks, aim to leverage the improved performance, unified authentication, and consistent command structure offered by gcloud storage. Reviewers are encouraged to meticulously test the updated notebooks to confirm continued functionality and address any potential discrepancies arising from the migration.

Highlights

  • Automated Migration: This pull request automatically migrates gsutil commands to their gcloud storage equivalents across several Jupyter notebooks, aligning with the ongoing effort to modernize Google Cloud Storage interactions.
  • Command Replacements: Key gsutil commands such as mb (make bucket), ls (list), cp (copy), rm (remove), and iam ch (IAM change) have been replaced with their respective gcloud storage commands, often including updated flags for equivalent functionality.
  • IAM Policy Handling: Migrations involving gsutil iam ch have been updated to use gcloud storage buckets add-iam-policy-binding, with inline comments noting the increased complexity and potential differences in handling IAM policies with conditions.
  • Testing Requirement: The changes, being automatically generated, emphasize the critical need for thorough review and testing in appropriate environments to ensure workflows remain unaffected due to subtle behavioral differences between gsutil and gcloud storage.

Code Review

This pull request contains automated migrations from gsutil to gcloud storage across several Jupyter notebooks. The migrations are generally correct, but I've identified a few issues. There are instances where grep commands will fail due to case-sensitivity differences in the output of gcloud storage compared to gsutil. Additionally, some of the automated changes have resulted in syntactically invalid JSON in notebook cells, which will prevent them from loading correctly. I've also included a suggestion to improve efficiency by combining multiple gcloud storage cp commands into one. Please review the detailed comments for fixes.

This cell contains invalid JSON for a notebook source array. The comment on line 386 is not a string, which will cause the notebook to fail to load. Please wrap the comment in quotes to make it a valid string within the JSON array.

Please wrap the comment in quotes to make it a valid string within the JSON array. Additionally, for consistency, the quoting for --member and --role should be the same for both gcloud commands in this cell.

The gcloud storage ls --full command uses title case for keys in its output (e.g., Location Constraint:). The grep command is case-sensitive and is looking for Location constraint:, which will not be found. This will cause shell_output to be empty and lead to an IndexError on the next line. Please update grep and sed to use the correct title case string.

    shell_output = ! gcloud storage ls --full --buckets {BUCKET_NAME} | grep "Location Constraint:" | sed "s/Location Constraint://"

For efficiency, you can combine these two gcloud storage cp commands into a single command that copies multiple files to the destination directory.
