Sections "Run Terraform locally" refer to CLOUD_BUILD_PROJECT_ID which does not exist

[mromascanu123]

TL;DR

When running locally w/o CB, Jenkins, TFC, etc there is no cloudbuild project. We have just a seed project and a "dummy" ci-cd project, unused but created anyway to avoid fixing broken code assuming it should exist even when deploying locally

Expected behavior

The command, if required and if the result pertinent, should succeed. Otherwise remove it from the readme's or change it providing an existing project id

Observed behavior

Subdjacent command fails:
gcloud beta terraform vet "${tf_file}.json" --policy-library="${policy_file_path}" --project="${project_id}"

./tf-wrapper.sh validate production $(pwd)/../policy-library ${CLOUD_BUILD_PROJECT_ID}

ERROR: (gcloud.beta.terraform.vet) The project property is set to the empty string, which is invalid.

Agree that this is a poor experience, there are a few issues open already to track improving/merging/aligning the directions for each of the deployment methods so I'll close this issue, but it's on the backlog to improve.
