Google has emailed me saying "Migrate your App Engine projects from the legacy SDK (appcfg)" for 3 of my projects. I don't use appcfg, I use mvn to deploy my software. I've 6 projects in total on GAE and have compared the pom files and build files and they are identical. I thought it was because I'm using an older appengine-api, but they are fairly up to date and all use the same version:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.appengine</groupId>
<artifactId>appengine-api-1.0-sdk</artifactId>
<version>1.9.58</version>
</dependency>
What I am missing here?
Thanks
Tim
So you basically want to know why would Google send you that email if your projects do not use appcfg?. It could be because:
1.- Just a reminder that you should migrate to the new SDK. If is not specified on the email something like "we have noticed that your project --- is using ..." then is probably just a general reminder.
2.- You have previous versions where you used the legacy SDK, and Google is detecting this.
3.- You are using a deprecated version of Java App Engine SDK-based plugin and have to migrate to the new version (less likely but since you are in fact using Maven wouldn't hurt to check).
Also, i know that you said you weren't using appcfg but here's a list of equivalents commands between appcfg and gcloud for extra information.

Recently tried to update my Gaelyk project (yes, it's old, but it works well and I still use it), but Google App Engine will no longer accept the update. The error message returned is "Deployments using appcfg are no longer supported. See https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/deprecations". The thing is, I never used appcfg to deploy my application; I used Gaelyk and Gradle. But obviously Gaelyk must have used appcfg under the covers.
I did download the replacement Google Cloud SDK, but this new tool is not similar at all to how Gaelyk and Gradle worked. Is there anything I can do to get Gaelyk to work anymore? Or is Gaelyk just dead and I need to rewrite my application (like in Node.js or something instead of Groovy).
This will be hard, however I will try to help you as possible. I think you may try to migrate it somehow to app.yaml configuration of GAE.
I am not sure what plugins are used in the project. From Gaelyk temple project I can see that it's using appengine-geb which, according to the documentation, behind the scenes, is using gradle-appengine-plugin (there is wrong link on this doc, but proper is bellow).
On the github of gradle-appengine-plugin I have found following.
There is a note:
NOTE: All App Engine users are encouraged to transition to the new
gradle plugin for their projects.
And in FAQ part there is following information:
How do I deploy with gcloud?
If you're using gcloud to deploy your application, the newest version of app deploy > doesn't support war
directories, you will need to provide it with an app.yaml OR you can
use the appengineStage task to create a directory that is deployable
in /build/staged-app
$ ./gradlew appengineStage
$ gcloud app deploy build/staged-app/app.yaml --project [app id]
--version [some version]
NOTES:
You must explicitly define all config files your want to upload
(cron.yaml, etc)
This does not work with EAR formatted projects.
I think the best option will be to migrate to new appenine plugin or if not possible try to implement is with gcloud app deploy command crating the config files manually (at least app.yaml). And for this migration I can provide you this document.
I hope you will manage somehow...
I can confirm that Serge's answer on the Gaelyk Groups site works; the same procedure that he figured out also worked for me. To summarize:
Run gradlew appengineRun as run previously with Gaelyk.
Copy all jar files inside the build\exploded-app\WEB-INF\lib folder into a \src\main\webapp\web-inf\lib folder (for me the new lib folder did not exist previously).
To deploy, use the new required gcloud tool, and instead of running gradlew appengineUpdate (which fails now), instead run
gcloud app deploy appengine-web.xml where that XML file can be found in your webapp/WEB-INF directory. I navigated to that directory to run the gcloud command, but you can use a relative path there if your working directory is elsewhere. (There are a number of optional flags associated with the gcloud app deploy command, but I didn't need any of them.)
Serge needed to use these instructions to convert datastore-indexes.xml to index.yaml and run gcloud app deploy index.yaml, however, I didn't need to do this because I had no datastores.
We have a multi-module (war-packaged) project that uses com.google.appengine - appengine-maven-plugin target being ear file.
We have migrated succesfully to Java8 and EndpointsV2. It builds and runs fine in Cloud. However the following requirement is still a bit questionmark in the migration instructions. What is the reason behind this incompatibility and requirement? Or is it just related to for example "discovery docs" that we are not using anyway?
The old App Engine Maven plugin, with group com.google.appengine, is incompatible with the Endpoints Framework plugin. You must use the new version shown above
https://cloud.google.com/endpoints/docs/frameworks/java/migrating
If you aren't using discovery docs or generated client libraries and are only using Endpoints as a library dependency, you can remove the Endpoints plugin and the error should go away.
Folks,
I'm using the recently released Google Cloud SDK 0.9.56 on Windows 7x64.
When trying to gcloud deploy my app using web.xml and appengine-web.xml, I get a response:
ERROR: Found no valid App Engine configuration files in directory
When trying to do the same with apps defined with app.yaml there were no issues.
Teammates with older SDK versions don't seem to have an issue.
Is there a mandatory requirement to use app.yaml in all apps?
P.S: This question might be related but its actually a different issue.
sorry about this.
That question you linked is actually the same issue. You can use the new maven plugin described there to translate your appengine-web.xml to app.yaml automatically. We have a gradle plugin coming out very soon to do the same thing.
If you'd like to keep using gcloud directly without Maven or Gradle, you'll need to translate the appengine-web.xml to an app.yaml for now.
Let me know if I can help.
Just trying to deploy a simple Jruby on rails app on Google App Engine but falling at first hurdle.
I've been following instructions on https://code.google.com/p/appengine-jruby/ and a few other websites. I've installed the gem 'google-appengine' as instructed and Command Prompt tells me that it's installed.
As I started typing require 'appengine-rack' in my config.ru, I can see that my IDE tells me it doesn't recognise this file. I fire up the local server anyway just as a test and it tells me that "LoadError: no such file to load -- appengine-rack".
I can clearly see in C:\jruby-1.7.3\lib\ruby\gems\shared\gems\appengine-rack-0.0.13\lib\ . So I'm a bit stumped. When I run >gem list, I can also see that this gem is there.
I'm doing this for the first time.
I'm using Windows 7. Jruby version 1.7.3. Rails 3.2.1.
Thanks in advance.
Looks like the project you are trying to use is rather old, (last commit date is Date: Mar 30, 2011). And it is written there that they are only planing to have a support of version 3.x.
Anyway here is the answer to your question(rather old too)
Unable to get google-appengine for Jruby to work
And this search could be helpful https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/google-app-engine+ruby
From rational point of view it is not very good idea to use this gems for production. If you need cloud hosting for your ruby procejct heroku would be a solution.
If you require appengine - you better go Java, Python or Go which are officially supported.
I'm having trouble retrieving 2 artifacts in my Maven/Java/Google App Engine project:
com.google.appengine.orm:datanucleus-appengine:jar:1.0.7.final
com.google.appengine:appengine-api-1.0-sdk:jar:1.3.4
There's a similar question posted, but each answer brings me back to the same error message.
More detail
I don't know if it is relevant, but rather than a version number, my original dependency for DataNucleus contained a variable. I am using Eclipse.
<groupId>org.datanucleus</groupId>
<artifactId>datanucleus-core</artifactId>
<version>${datanucleus.version}</version>
<scope>runtime</scope>
I did not include my stack trace in Maven for brevity's sake. Please let me know if it would help to post it. Thank you.
UPDATE
I was able to get the DataNucleus artifact by changing the version from 1.0.7.final to 1.0.6.final (check this repo) and rolling back to AppEngine 1.3.3 (thanks, #Taylor!). However, I still can't find the repo for appengine-java-sdk:jar:1.3.3. There are no jar files hosted at Google Code.
Does anyone know where to find the appengine-java-sdk jar?
Version 1.3.4 of the App Engine SDK is not yet supported by the maven-gae-plugin. Please see the issue here.
Also, based on your latest edit to the question you should NOT be using version 1.3.3. Rather, you should be using version 1.3.3.1 (see here). Also, the appengine-java-sdk jar is available in the maven-gae-plugin repo (see here).
