Did the process exit successfully? We run instances describe after instances delete to verify that the delete succeeded. The command is expected to fail whenever the delete succeeded.

[hungvelo]

Yes, the process exited successfully. As you could see from the log and also as you described, we ran instance delete perfkit-156efb06-1 followed by instance describe perfkit-156efb06-1, and that is expected to fail. But if that is expected, we shouldn't generate a false alarm with an ERROR, right? Just my .02 cents :-). Thank you.

[cmccoy]

Agreed - this is something we'd like to improve.

Generally these "expected" errors aren't printed to stderr, just the log file at a low level (here, DEBUG). The "ERROR" is actually from the stderr of gcloud, and we do want to log the output of every command to the log file for debugging.
