Unable to use bigquery data transfer service

[Heverton]

I'm trying to use BigQueryData Transfer to schedule an auto update but I getting this error when I try to save it.
"Data source definition doesn't define this parameter Id: encoding"

I'm using a google storage cloud as source and if I add manually data from the same google storage cloud it works well.
I made a search about this terms but couldnt find any reference. Anyone has any idea about what could it be?

Hi @Heverton,

Welcome back to Google Cloud Community.

The parameter "encoding" may not be defined in the data source definition you are using for the BigQuery Data Transfer, based to the error message "Data source definition doesn't define this parameter Id: encoding."

If your data source definition is out-of-date or incomplete, this error may happen. You can try to update or recreate the data source definition to fix this problem.

Here are some steps that can be used to update or create a new data source definition:

1. Go to the "Data sources" option in the left-hand menu of the BigQuery Data Transfer UI.

2. Find the data source definition you're using and edit it by clicking the edit button (a pencil icon).

3. Verify the data source definition to see if the parameter "encoding" is defined. If it isn't defined, you can define it by selecting "Add parameter" and providing the necessary information.

4. Restart the transfer after saving the changes.

The steps below can be used to recreate the data source definition if the parameter "encoding" has previously been defined there:

1. Go to the "Data sources" option in the left-hand menu of the BigQuery Data Transfer UI.

2. The "Create a data source" button should be clicked.

3. To build the data source definition, choose the type of data source you wish to use and then follow the steps.

4.Try again to configure the transfer using the new data source definition after creating the new data source definition.

I am experiencing the same problem.
I have the same error even with the Encoding settings.
Why is this?

I am experiencing the same problem.
I am unable to set Encoding=None, which I was able to do before.
