Unable to verify that GCS bucket exists while creating and staging Dataflow template

Question

I am creating and staging gcp dataflow template in cloud storage with following command:

mvn -X compile exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=main.java.TemplatePipeline -Dexec.args="--runner=DataflowRunner --project=hv-hcap-development --stagingLocation=gs://my-bucket/staging --templateLocation=gs://my-bucket/templates/template1"

The build is failing with following error:

[INFO]
[INFO] --- exec-maven-plugin:1.6.0:java (default-cli) @ ingestion-streaming ---
[WARNING]
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to verify that GCS bucket gs://ingestion-streaming exists.

Unable to verify that GCS bucket gs://bucket_name exists.: Error getting access token for service account: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target -> [Help 1]
[ERROR]

I have logged in to GCP from terminal using gcloud auth login and set the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS to the service account

I have tried to run this in a different machine and it works, therefore the bucket exists, the service account has owner access.

Any help to resolve this is much appreciated.
