Not able to implement Big Query cancel job #1027
Description
Activity
Yikes, that's weird.
Is this a mistake in the Big Query REST api? If so where should I raise that issue?
If we have to get around it, we can use request interceptors, something like:
function Job() { this.interceptors.push({ request: function(reqOpts) { if (reqOpts.uri.indexOf('/cancel') > -1) { reqOpts.uri = reqOpts.uri.replace('/projects/', '/project/'); } return reqOpts; } }); }
*edit for code

Yikes. I'm asking around.
Regardless of why this weirdness is here, we should be able to fix it by having both /project/ and /projects/ do the same thing.. That way we don't break any legacy folks, and we don't have to add our hack -- however, that is super clever @stephenplusplus :)

The cancel job function is not implemented for big query so I went about putting together a pull request. It should be straight forward but it's not because the url structure for all the other job api calls are slightly different...
To cancel a job:
POST https://www.googleapis.com/bigquery/v2/project/projectId/jobs/jobId/cancelThis is the correct URL because it works on the documentation site through the try it tester.
All the others have a pluralised 'projects' rather than 'project':
GET https://www.googleapis.com/bigquery/v2/projects/projectId/jobs/jobIdPOST https://www.googleapis.com/bigquery/v2/projects/projectId/queriesGET https://www.googleapis.com/bigquery/v2/projects/projectId/jobs...etc
I don't think this could be neatly worked around for the purposes of this library because that part of the url is baked into the service class. Is this a mistake in the Big Query REST api? If so where should I raise that issue?
