javascript - Could not load the default credentials? (Node.js Google Compute Engine tutorial)

Question

SITUATION:

I follow this tutorial: https://cloud.google.com/nodejs/tutorials/bookshelf-on-compute-engine

Everything works fine until I do npm start and go to:

http://localhost:8080

I am met with the following text on the blank page:

Could not load the default credentials. Browse to https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/application-default-credentials for more information.

Which makes no sense since I am using OAuth. I followed the link and read the page, but I have no GOOGLE-APPLICATION-CREDENTIALS field anywhere, and nothing about it in the tutorial.

QUESTION:

Could you please reproduce the steps and tell me if you get the same result ?

(takes 5 minutes)

If not, what could I have done wrong ?
