How to access google sheets using default application credentials

Question

Using a service account file to access google sheet is working as expected

import { google } from 'googleapis';
import serviceAccount from 'serviceKey.json';

const spreadsheetId = 'spreadsheet-id';
const sheets = google.sheets({ version: 'v4' });

const jwtClient = new google.auth.JWT({
  email: serviceAccount.client_email,
  key: serviceAccount.private_key,
  scopes: ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets'],
});

const appendValue = async () => {
    await jwtClient.authorize();
    await sheets.spreadsheets.values.append({
      auth: jwtClient,
      spreadsheetId,
      range: 'Test!A2:E2',
      valueInputOption: 'RAW',
      requestBody: { values: [['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E']] },
    });
};

But trying it using default application credentials throws an error saying Login is Required.

export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="/path/to/serviceKey.json"

import { google } from 'googleapis';

const spreadsheetId = 'spreadsheet-id';
const sheets = google.sheets({ version: 'v4' });

const appendValue = async () => {
    await sheets.spreadsheets.values.append({
      spreadsheetId,
      range: 'Test!A2:E2',
      valueInputOption: 'RAW',
      requestBody: { values: [['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E']] },
    });
};
