Can't get google stackdriver logging working

General

I am trying to get stackdriver logging working Here is the command line

export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=~/secrets/development-area-baae5fc698ab.json
docker \
    --debug \
    --config .  \
    --log-level debug \
run \
        --env-file=.env_development \
        --log-driver=gcplogs \
        --log-opt labels=keycloak \
        --log-opt env=GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS \
        --log-opt gcp-project=development-area-218700 \
        -p 8080:8080 \
        jboss/keycloak

Here is the daemon.json file

{
  "debug" : true,
  "experimental" : true,
  "log-driver" : "gcplogs"
}

This is the error I get

DEBU[0000] [hijack] End of stdout                       
docker: Error response from daemon: failed to initialize logging driver: google: could not find default credentials. See https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/application-default-credentials for more information.
ERRO[0000] error waiting for container: context canceled

The credentials file is definitely there. Everything I have read this is supposed to work but it doesn’t and the error message doesn’t help at all.

What is going wrong here.

Hate to bump my own question but does anybody have an answer for this?
