Polymer google-client-loader, does not care about root property

Question

I'm trying to get my Polymer1.0 app to work with my google cloud endpoints API but for some reason it seems that google-client-loader doesn't care what i put in for root, it always goes to content.googleapis.com to fetch the API , of course it isn't there !

code:

<google-client-loader
                id="api" name="parliament" version="v1"
                root="http://localhost:8080/_ah/api"></google-client-loader>

getting:

GET https://content.googleapis.com/discovery/v1/apis/parliament/v1/rest?fields=rootUrl%2CservicePath%2Cresources%2Cparameters%2Cmethods&pp=0 404 (OK)

tried:

• api-root
• apiRoot
• root
• api-root with app-id
• apiRoot with app-id
• root with app-id

doesn't work !

What's the problem ? Am I doing something wrong ?

Answer 1

The correct attribute to use is api-root (which works, just tested).

<google-client-loader
     id="api" name="parliament" version="v1"
     api-root="http://localhost:8080/_ah/api"></google-client-loader>

You have to make sure to use the latest version of the google-apis element collection, i.e. with this dependency in your bower.json:

"google-apis": "GoogleWebComponents/google-apis#^1.0.1"
