(Cloud Function web UI) ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'googleapiclient'

Question

I am using from googleapiclient.discovery import build inside my Cloud Function program (python 3.8).

I've been searching for help regarding an error I get when deploying my Google Cloud Function from the GCP console UI : ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'googleapiclient'

Some of the answers, provided by the community, to similar problems were to update the module via pip with : pip install --upgrade google-api-python-client. Therefore I'm not able to update it or re-install it since I'm using the Cloud Function web UI.

I have already added the right requirement inside the requirements.txt file : google-api-python-client==1.2

Why am I using google-api-python-client 1.2 ?
Because of this error message when I tried to use the latest version:
Build failed: gclient-service-account-auth 0.2.2 has requirement google-api-python-client==1.2, but you have google-api-python-client 1.10.1

I can't find how to solve this ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'googleapiclient', do you have any clue/advice to share about this ?

Thank you in advance, can't wait to see what's your take on this issue :)

You can add google-api-python-client to the requirements.txt file.
