ERROR: (gcloud.preview.app) Invalid choice: 'run' - google-app-engine

I'm trying to get the golang hello-world bigtable example running locally locally and running into this issue. When I run gcloud preview app run app.yaml from the bigtable-hello directory, I get the following error:
➜ bigtable-hello gcloud preview app run app.yaml

I've put the demo files into my local go directory like below:

app run is no longer part of the gcloud SDK as can be seen under all the possible command trees:
gcloud alpha has no app command group
gcloud app has no run command
gcloud beta has no run command
gcloud preview app has no app command group
This was removed with version 92.0.0 released on January 13, 2016. That changelog recommends using dev_appserver.py instead. An example can be found in Running the local development server.
> dev_appserver.py src/github.com/jamescharlesworth/bigtable-hello
Other flags and options can be found in dev_appserver.py's documentation in Local Development Server Options.

Stuck on "Get Started" page of Google App Engine. "gcloud app deploy" fails

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.

Golang Cloud SDK - gcloud app deploy cannot find import package

according to the official documentation for Google App Engine Standard environment (Go API) the "preferred tooling to deploy a project" is now the Cloud SDK and so we moved to gcloud from goapp.
We are unable to deploy Go projects to GAE because all the sub-packages of every given project can't be found at "deploy time".
The typical folder structure that we have been using for every GAE project was as follows:
-project-name
--app.yaml
--main.go
--assets
---package1
---package2
When global libraries were put in the system GOPATH everything worked smoothly.
Running gcloud app deploy we now get this:
You are about to deploy the following services:
- yourproject/default/123456789 (from [/Path/to/app.yaml])
Deploying to URL: [https://yourproject.appspot.com]
Do you want to continue (Y/n)? Y

GOPATH: /path/to/gopath
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
while dev_appserver.py works perfectly keeping the same folder structure.
Did we miss something?
How can we deploy to Google App Engine Standard environment using gcloud?
If the project structure needs to be changed: how? Is there official documentation about it?
Thanks in advance,

Google recommends keeping your dependencies outside of the app directory, and using GOPATH to refer them. In your case, that would mean doing the following:
-project-name
--app.yaml
--main.go
where main.go contains
import (
"package1"
"package2"
)
And somewhere else:
-my_packages
--src
---package1
---package2
And then set GOPATH environment variable to path/to/my_packages prior to running dev_appserver and gcloud app deploy.
For the future
We are working out the long term solution for properly vendoring packages inside your app directory – likely using Go's future native package manager. I'm sorry to say that we don't have a good way of supporting sub-packages for gcloud app deploy. This was an unfortunate side effect of compatibility with the App Engine Flexible environment.

Difference between 'goapp deploy' and 'appcf.py' to deploy my app on Google App Engine?

I don't understand the difference between
goapp deploy -application <YOUR_PROJECT_ID> myapp/
and
appcfg.py -A <YOUR_PROJECT_ID_> -V v1 update myapp/
when trying to deploy my app in google app engine. Can somebody enlighten me please?
Documented in Uploading, Downloading, and Managing a Go App:
goapp deploy wraps the appcfg.py python tool provided in the SDK. You can also invoke this tool directly if you need greater control over the deployment.
goapp deploy is equivalent to appcfg.py update myapp/.
These commands get application ID and other configuration from app.yaml automatically. You can use -application param of goapp, or -A of appcfg.py to override the application ID.
So goapp deploy calls appcfg.py under the hood, it is a convenient method to hide appcfg.py.
goapp deploy -application <YOUR_PROJECT_ID> myapp/
Deploys the application located in the myapp folder. Configuration will be read from the app.yaml file that must be at myapp/app.yaml. The command also overrides the application ID (if present in app.yaml), and <YOUR_PROJECT_ID> will be used instead.
appcfg.py -A <YOUR_PROJECT_ID> -V v1 update myapp/
This also deploys the application, but the -V overrides the version that may be present in myapp/app.yaml, and will use the version v1. -A is used to override the ID from app.yaml, will be <YOUR_PROJECT_ID> in this case.
goapp is a general tool for the whole Go-on-App-Engine workflow from build to deployment; you can use the same tool to install dependences (get), build your app, run locally (serve) and then deploy it (as well as run tests, format code, etc).
Some of these wrap other tools: goapp fmt probably just wraps gofmt, whilst goapp deploy just wraps appcfg.py update (see docs)

Using gcloud on Travis CI

I have gcloud installed and working and a service account gets also activated. I run the following and get a success(?):
$ gcloud auth activate-service-account "${GAE_CLIENT_ACCOUNT}" --key-file "${GAE_CLIENT_KEY_JSON_FILE}"
Activated service account credentials for: [xxxxx#developer.gserviceaccount.com]
Then I run this:
$ gcloud preview app deploy app.yaml --project "${GAE_PROJECT_ID}" --quiet --version "${GAE_PROJECT_VERSION}"
You are about to deploy the following modules:
- ricochet-robots/default/dev From: [/home/travis/build/ricochetrobots/ricochetrobots-landing/app.yaml]
Updating module [default]...Go to the following link in your browser:
https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?scope=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.googleapis.com%2Fauth%2Fappengine.admin&redirect_uri=urn%3Aietf%3Awg%3Aoauth%3A2.0%3Aoob&response_type=code&client_id=xxxxxxxx.apps.googleusercontent.com&access_type=offline
Updating module [default].../
As you can see, it prompts me to follow the link and do an oauth. Because I'm on a ci server, it's not possible to follow the link.
How kan I suppress that? Or is there a totally diffrent way of deploying the app automatically.
This is a known issue in version 0.9.61.
For now, you can work around by pinning to a previous version:
gcloud config set component_manager/fixed_sdk_version 0.9.60
gcloud components update
Since you're running in a CI server, you can also set the following environment variable, if you run gcloud components update in your script. This may be an easier fix, depending on your CI server.
CLOUDSDK_COMPONENT_MANAGER_SNAPSHOT_URL=https://dl.google.com/dl/cloudsdk/release/components-v0.9.60.json
Running gcloud preview app deploy --set-default using a service account has the same issue in versions 0.9.57 through 0.9.62. If you'd like to use this command, you can pin to 0.9.56.
We're targeting a fix for version 0.9.63 or shortly thereafter. Follow the issue on the gcloud bug tracker for more updates.
EDIT: This issue was fixed in version 0.9.63.

gcloud get-logs command not working

I was trying to download logs from a GAE app using the gcloud cli
In the documentation the command I was supposed to use was:
gcloud preview app get-logs --version 1 default mylogs.txt
However, when running this command I get the following error:
ERROR: (gcloud.preview.app) Invalid choice: 'get-logs'. Did you mean 'deploy'?
All the tools are installed and there's nothing to update using gcloud components list and gcloud components update
Also I have authenticated and set the project
gcloud auth login
gcloud config set project mytestproject
This command moved to go underneath the modules command group, and unfortunately the documentation lagged behind.
The equivalent command is
$ gcloud preview app modules get-logs --version 1 default mylogs.txt
Sorry for the confusion!
You can also try appcfg.py request_logs myapp/ mylogs.txt to download the logs for your application which is running in App Engine.
This Command only works for App Engine but not for Managed VM's.Refer to the link https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/tools/uploadinganapp#Python_Downloading_logs
