GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS not getting loaded

Hi team,

I'm facing an issue where the google credentials are not getting loaded to the GCP provider. Tried the exact same steps from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEOL_fGUZY0 and imported .gitlab-ci.yml.

I'm new to this. Any guidance or pointers are highly appreciated.
