First off, amazing project! Much needed.

When I try and delete a bucket to cleanup after my tests, it fails:

	gcsTestBucketName := "test_bucket"
	transCfg := &http.Transport{
		// nolint:gosec // Purposely connecting to a local self-signed certificate endpoint
		TLSClientConfig: &tls.Config{InsecureSkipVerify: true}, // ignore expired SSL certificates
	}
	httpClient := &http.Client{Transport: transCfg}
	client, err := storage.NewClient(ctx, option.WithEndpoint(os.Getenv("GCS_FAKE_SERVER")+"/storage/v1/"), option.WithHTTPClient(httpClient))
	if err != nil {
		t.Fatal(err)
	}

	if err = client.Bucket(gcsTestBucketName).Create(ctx, "test-project", nil); err != nil {
		t.Fatalf("could not create bucket; %v", err)
	}

	defer func() {
		if err = client.Bucket(gcsTestBucketName).Delete(ctx); err != nil {
			t.Errorf("could not delete bucket: %v", err)
		}
	}()

I end up getting a panic:

panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference [recovered]
        panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference

Indeed the server doesn't currently support deleting buckets. I'm surprised the official SDK panics though 🤔

I wasn't able to reproduce locally:


func deleteBucket(client *storage.Client, bucketName string) error {
	return client.Bucket(bucketName).Delete(context.TODO())
}

Returns something like:

googleapi: got HTTP response code 405 with body:

Either way, will keep this issue open for tracking the support for bucket deletion.
