[SOLVED] Google ADK Agent Deployment Error - 'ModuleAgent' object has no attribute 'agent

Google ADK Agent Deployment Error - 'ModuleAgent' object has no attribute 'agent_framework

I am trying to deploy a very simple ADK agent into agent engine. as per below code:

from google.adk.agents import Agent from google.adk.tools import google_search from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()

# Define the agent
root_agent = Agent(
    name="google_news_agent",
    model="gemini-2.5-flash",
    instruction="Look for all the latest news in the internet and provide a crisp summary based on the topic",
    description="An agent that uses Google Search to fetch up-to-date news",
    #tools=[google_search]  # Built-in Google Search tool
)

# To run locally, use ADK CLI:
# > adk run google_search_agent

my .env file

# If using Gemini via Vertex AI on Google CLoud
GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT="<my-project>"
GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION="us-central1" 
GOOGLE_GENAI_USE_VERTEXAI="True"

my init.py file

from . import agent

I am using below deployment command to deploy my agent to agnet engine.

adk deploy agent_engine academic_research \
    --project="<my-project-id> \
    --region="us-central1" \
    --staging_bucket="gs://adk-agent-deploy-bucket" \
    --display_name="academic_research"

However when deploying, it is giving below error:

Traceback (most recent call last): AttributeError: 'ModuleAgent' object has no attribute 'agent_framework

I tried using github agent deployment as well, which failed with same error. Can someone help me with this?

Solution

I just created a venv and performed everything again. It worked. Must have been some library mismatch.
