I am totally a newbie to Google App Engine, and I am trying to learn GAE. I have installed gcloud command line into my MAC, but every time I want to run a console command, to deploy or install from component manager, I always give the complete path to the sdk bin like this
./google-cloud-sdk/bin/gcloud
I have checked my $PATH variable and the google-cloud-sdk/bin is specified. Am I missing anything?

Trying to deploy my first Google Cloud Java app using Intellij. I've followed and read so many threads and have gotten absolutely nowhere on what is seemingly one of the simplest steps of getting this set up. I have installed gcloud CLI and followed the instructions here. After installing, I run the commands 'gcloud components update' and 'gcloud components install app-engine-java'. I see the folder located in both 'C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Google\Cloud SDK\google-cloud-sdk\platform\google_appengine' and 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Cloud SDK\google-cloud-sdk\platform\google_appengine'. I installed as multi user after hours of trying to get the single user install working, so now I have both. When in Intellij I am creating a new Google App Engine project under Java EE, it asks to specify a Google app engine SDK. There are no options so I choose to select the path. I have tried both above paths and it only tells me 'App Engine SDK path is not correct'. What am I doing wrong?? The steps seem ridiculously simple and it just doesn't work.
You stopped at the general google app engine folder
You need to specify the full path to the java-sdk folder, see the image in this question.
I am stuck on the first page of instructions for Google App Engine
https://console.cloud.google.com/appengine/start/reception
I downloaded and installed the cloud SDK.
"gcloud init" worked.
I am stuck at "Deploy to App Engine".
When I type "gcloud app deploy" in Terminal, I get two errors.
"ERROR: An app.yaml (or appengine-web.xml) file is required to deploy this directory as an App Engine application. Create an app.yaml file using the directions at https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/flexible/python/configuring-your-app-with-app-yaml"
The page it says to go to does not give directions for creating the file. What is the command? Also, why is this error happening at all? If I follow the instructions on the Get Started page, I should not get an error. Some instructions must be missing or something not working when I install the SDK.
The second error I get is "ERROR: (gcloud.app.deploy) [/Users/chucky] could not be identified as a valid source directory or file."
Again, there must be instructions missing because I am following them.
Screen Shot
gcloud app deploy is for deploying a project. This means you need to have a folder with a sample project. The project will need to have an app.yaml file. Essentially, the steps are
Download and install the Google Cloud SDK
Run gcloud init to initialize the SDK (this makes you to login to Google and grant access to gcloud to your account; also sets up your default project)
Create your project (or copy an existing one) where project is your App i.e. the application you are working on. This project should have an app.yaml file.
Then deploy your project to production by running gcloud app deploy. You first have to change directory to your project folder. If you don't want to do this, you have to specify the full path to your app.yaml file.
An alternative for steps 3 - 4 is to use a Graphical User Interface (GUI) like one from us - https://nocommandline.com . You just click a button to create a new project and it will create a shell project ('hello world') with all the necessary files. To deploy your project, you also click another button 'Deploy' and it will take care of deploying your project.
From the link:
https://console.cloud.google.com/appengine/start/reception
First, you need to download the resources. You can use the Cloud SDK, Cloud Shell, directly download from github or other terminal to download the resources files. For example, you want to deploy a Python app using Cloud SDK in Windows OS:
Install and open Cloud SDK.
Copy the resources file from github:
From Cloud SDK run:
git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/python-docs-samples
Go to directory of your application files:
cd python-docs-samples/appengine/standard_python3/hello_world
Deploy and browse your application
Deploy using the command:
gcloud app deploy --project PROJECTID
Browse using the command:
gcloud app browse --project PROJECTID
If you see the Hello World! you've successfully deployed your application.
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.
For GAE, in python 3.7, using flask, gcloud on windows 10.
Trying to put in place a service-worker, I spend 2 days not being able to load the service-worker.js file.
On localhost if the file is in the root folder, the file in inaccessible, but if I move the file to the static folder, first I have an error because the index.html is on the root but not the service worker file, and second the mine type of the sevrice worker file is text/html.
I figure I need to change the app.yaml file to specify the mine type but it doesn't seem to have any effect. After erasing everything in the app.yaml, I realize that it is not affecting the localhost. I deployed the project and it works on the gae sever.
I would like to be able to test the service-worker locally.
I am missing something?
Loading successfully on GAE:
But 404 on localhost:
You can notice the same problem with the manifest file situated in the root folder.
Thanks.
As the install process stipulate, dev_appserver doesn't work on windows with python 3.
The solution was to install a linux subsystem for windows : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10
I use the Ubuntu app from the windows store, and follow the installation for installing the gcloud component on linux inside the ubuntu terminal:
https://https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/#deb
Inside the Ubuntu terminal it is possible to access the windows file : the C drive would be /mnt/c.
Getting back to my work folder, it is possible to start the web-app using the dev_appserver command.
Using a navigator from windows we have access to the web-app as normal using localhost:8080.
The development can still be done using an IDE in windows, running the server in Ubuntu.
I have a problem updating wordpress or installing wordpress plugin in my local version of google app engine. I get the following message.
Downloading install package from
https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/event-espresso-decaf.4.8.38.decaf.zip…
Unpacking the package…
Could not create directory.
With the same code base I am able install plugin using MAMP (Macintosh, Apache, MySQL, and PHP). However fails with google Pyton script (dev_appserver.py).
I tried changing the permission of the file system by giving privilege to all user for write. Tried executing as sudo dev_appserver.py .. Followed the advice in other post, No luck.
Whats the problem here?, With MAMP all looks good in my local, but the same code break as I deploy to GAE (appcfg.py -A APP-ID update app.yaml). Whats the problem here
Cannot write to file on Google App Engine Dev server with PHP?
Staring SDK 1.9.18, dev_appserver disables local file writing by default to better simulate the production environment. You can enable file writing by adding "google_app_engine.disable_readonly_filesystem=1" to your php.ini file.
I also wrote a blog post about running WordPress on App Engine flexible environment at:

Please give it a try too.
