Unable to retrieve text embedding from Vertex AI API

I am trying to run Jupyter Notebook - “L1-Embeddings-api-intro”. Not sure why, I am unable to retrieve the text embedding for the word “life” as provided in cell #7 and #8 of the notebook. When I run cell #8, it returns the following output.

Length = 7
message

I have tried several different input texts and it returns “message” as the embedding. Did anyone face this issue?
