Copied this code from storage docs, tried with node interactive prompt, and expected it to work.

var gcloud = require('gcloud');
var storage = gcloud.storage;
var bucket = new storage.Bucket({ bucketName: 'example-bucket' });
var signedUrl = bucket.getSignedUrl({
  action: 'read',
  expires: Math.round(Date.now() / 1000) + (60 * 60 * 24 * 14), // 2 weeks.
  resource: 'test.jpg'
});
TypeError: Cannot read property 'private_key' of null
    at Bucket.getSignedUrl (/home/<my-home-dir>/node_modules/gcloud/lib/storage/index.js:288:50)
