Bit bucket repo Mirroring to Google Cloud Source Repositories - google-app-engine

I have been trying to aad a trigger for my gcp project while merging with master in my bitbucket repo. But the mirroring of my repo to google source repo is still loading after 2 days. Its showing repo is connected. Mirroring is in progress. Will show the content when process is completed. I tried with a sample repo with just readme file and it worked. But my actual repo is not mirroring.

Have you tried forcing repository sync? You can take a look here Forcing repository sync to know more about it. You problem must be solved doing it.

Made a new repo in bitbucket and pushed without commit history. Repo was instantly mirrored after adding the trigger in google cloud platform. Trigger also working fine as expected.

unable to connect cloud sql from app engine

I am new to GCP. I created a cloud-SQL instance (PostgreSQL 14) and tried to connect to it from the app engine.
I am using the following code on github.
https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/python-docs-samples/tree/9d4343d0845d6e20e0b08d1242c38aaaf0d9c075/appengine/standard_python3/cloudsql
main_postgres.py-> as my main file
I updated the connection information in the app.yaml file according to the instance and database I created. I did not make any other changes to the main_postgres.py file.
I deployed app engine in the directory with main_postgres.py
After deploying when I go to the link it says :
I am not able to figure out where I am going wrong. any help is appreciated. thanks!
I managed to replicate the github link you provided. I solved it by renaming the main_postgres.py file to main.py. Here's the screenshot of the output link:
This issue dont seems related to DB but your application configuration.
check errors by running this in cloud shell when you hit appengine url.

Why does google app engine seem to use old code?

I've setup Google App Engine to run my AdonisJS API for my website. I update the code using the CLI for google cloud services ("gcloud app deploy"). I get a success message from the terminal, and I have checked both the cloud build and version number, and both are the most recent deployment. However, when I try to use my website, I get an error due to the API using old code and trying to access table columns from my database that no longer exist. I have downloaded the most recent cloud build file and checked the codebase within it and the updated code is there. I have also tried deploying multiple times, and it still is using the old code. Does anyone know why this is happening and/or how to fix this?
If you need more information, let me know. Thanks
ANSWER:
Fixed this a while ago, but wanted to update here just in case others ran into this. I discovered that when deploying to GAE through the command line, my build command wasn't running prior to the deploy since my script had an error, so it was uploading updated code, but not an updated build. So just make sure to run the build command prior to uploading to GAE and everything should work.
In console.cloud.google.com, go to your GAE project and check which version of your project is running I.e. which one is receiving traffic

1st - How does Heroku interact with a database (sqlite) 2nd - How can I obtain the version of database that is on Heroku?

I had a very hard time trying to find solutions to this problem online, probably because I do not know how to phrase this weird problem. I also could not reach out to Heroku as their support team only serves paid customers. I would really appreciate help from anyone.
Some context:
I have recently started experimenting with Heroku and deployed my first web app (Python, Flask, SQLite3) via GitHub. It works as intended, I am even able to interact with my database (add/delete/update). However, after making an update to my code locally and pushing it to GitHub, I realised that when my web app got built again by Heroku with the updates, the changes I made to the SQLite database is reverted back the initial, local version. (aka I lost the updates I made during testing).
So here comes the first question:
How does Heroku actually interact with the database? Does it create a copy of all my code from GitHub and runs it locally on their servers? (Since no changes to the database are reflected in my GitHub Repo despite successful updates to the database values through the web app).
And if so, this is the second question:
Is there any way for me to get this "updated version" of my database from Heroku side so I can download it locally before I make and push any updates to my code, so as not to erase all the updates to the database that a user might have made through the web app?

Google Cloud App Engine - Edit 1 file

I am new at Google Cloud and I would like to know if there is a way to edit only one file inside of an App Engine application.
This is my problem:
I am migrating from a normal hosting to google cloud and I am having some problems with my PHP code, I am using the same version like locally but I am getting some error in the cloud, so I need to change 1 or 2 files, update them and test the app, so is there any way to change that file directly on the server? To deploy i am using this command:
gcloud app deploy
But it takes about 10 minutes to deploy so is too slow my testing. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

For the standard environment the answer is no, you need to deploy a new version of the app to modify a file. So the advice would be - make the most of testing your app locally. See somehow related Google AppEngine - updating my webapp after deploy
For the flexible environment (possibly your case as you mentioned 10 min deployment time, typical for the flexible env) there might be stuff to try, but tedious, see Google AppEngine - updating my webapp after deploy
There is a way to edit directly into the instance.
ssh into your instance and then start shell on your running docker as guided in this url. https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/flexible/python/debugging-an-instance
After login you can see your php source files.
Basically you will not have any editor. So do
$> apt update
$> apt install nano
$> nano index.php // edit your files
you can see something like
There is no way to change 1-2 files on the server so that it would update the app. Deployment is the process of updating the live app. If you want some changes to be made to the app that is already deployed, you will have to redeploy - there is no way around it. This is why it is recommended to test the app locally before (re)deploying so that you are sure everything is working fine.
If locally everything works fine and issues start happening only when the app is deployed, this should be investigated further and I would advise you to open a new question and provide as much details as possible regarding the problems, including full stack trace of the error, related code parts, your app.yaml contents as well.

Downloading App Engine source code

So it seems from a few SO questions I've seen that this is a problem among other users. Recently one of our head dev's left and I inherited a lot of his projects. One of which, is a website that what seems like lives on an app engine from google cloud platforms. From the App Engine documentation, to download source code you use the appcfg.py download_app command. Which I did, however the only results I get back from that call is:
Fetching file list...
Fetching files...
And then it just ends. No error message or any kind of message at all, and of course, it did not download the source code into the output dir I specified.
Scratching my head and looking at various SO posts, someone mentioned something about going into the google cloud vm directly and doing the same command, and to my surprise finding the same exact behavior that I did in my local terminal.
This made me realize it must be something else at play. I took a look at my versions tab in the App Engine dashboard on GCP. I see my instance running, it correctly says Serving and if I click the link it brings me to the website which loads fine. However, under Size it says 0 B which made me think perhaps this is why the download_app isn't downloading anything, because the version is 0 B?
What I'm trying to figure out is why it says 0 B for the version, when clearly the site runs fine and how I can get the source code for this. Here's a screenshot for reference
And screenshot of my terminal (local). Obviously I omitted the -A and -V flags, but they are correctly set and if I purposely make them incorrect I do indeed get an error message.
EDIT
Just so everyone is aware, I also made sure my user had the correct permissions. Owner, App Engine Owner... and some others. I don't think that's the problem.
When you deploy an App Engine Flexible application, the source code is uploaded to Cloud Storage on your project in a bucket named staging.<project-id>.appspot.com. You can navigate in this bucket and download the source code for a specific version as a .tar file.
Alternatively, you can find the exact Cloud Storage URL for your source code by going to Dev Console > Container Registry > Build History and select the build for your version. You'll find the link to your source code under Build Information.
One thing to note however is that the staging... bucket is created by default with a Lifecycle rule that deletes files older than 15 days automatically. You can delete this rule if you want so that all versions' source code is kept indefinitely.
In your case I believe that may not have helped since files may have been deleted already but it's worth knowing you can get the source code from there (source code isn't pushed to Source Repository by default, your developer had to configure it manually).
Posting this since none of the listed methods on the web didn't take me to the code (by June 2021)
Note: appcfg.py is deprecated by Google
You could try accessing your source code through;
Google Cloud Platform > Debugger > choosing the version of the
Application from combo at top.
This will list the files of that version on the left pane. There is no way to download code automatically but you can copy-paste the code.
Advice: Push your code to a Git repository to avoid this hassle next time.
Hope you will find this helpful.
In the developer console you can select the respective project and check:
on the Services page - which services, AKA modules - as they used to be (and still are) called in various places, you app has deployed
on the Versions page - which versions for each of the services are deployed
This information is what appcfg.py download_app expects. See also:
the various appcfg.py options using its --help flag
How do I download a specific service's source code off of AppEngine?
You can also access the deployed source code live (if everything else fails it could still be a last resort method to get the code, but tedious), see my answer to Google Cloud DataStore automatic indexing
Update:
I just now noticed in your screenshot that it's a flexible environment app. The appcfg.py docs are in the standard environment section, I suspect it's not applicable to the flexible environment, for which what's deployed is actually a docker image built during the deployment operation. From Deploying your application:
Deploy your app to App Engine using the gcloud app deploy
command. This command automatically builds a container image by using
the Container Builder service and then deploys that image to the
App Engine flexible environment. The container will include any local
modifications that you've made to the runtime image.
It might be possible to access the code on the actual GCE instance running the app, by connecting to the running instance and starting a shell in your app container, see Connecting to the instance
