I am new to appengine and have installed google-cloud-sdk from the AUR(arch user repository) and and the google-appengine-go extention at /opt/google-cloud-sdk
thanks to this I am able to run a dev server using
dev_appserver.py app.yaml
But when using goapp serve I found
goapp: command not found
After adding /opt/google-cloud-sdk/platform/google_appengine:$PATH to my $PATH variable in zshrc and running goapp serve i now get the error.
zsh: permission denied: goapp
if sudo goapp serve
sudo: goapp: command not found
Due to this I am unable to use the updated sdk to run tests using goapp test
Thank you in advance for your help.
I had the same problem and I think I figured out how it usually works.
You download the google cloud sdk (https://cloud.google.com/sdk/downloads)
After downloading and unzipping to the folder where you want to use it you have to executet the ./google-cloud-sdk/install.sh.
Appengine is not part of the download.
It can be chosen with that install.sh script.
it will download items like appengine.
Afterwards you have a folder called
platform/google_appengine
as you mentioned yourself.
You might have to change execution permissions like
chmod 755 platform/google_appengine/go*
Add folder platform/google_appengine to the PATH if not done already.
The command "which" will not show non-executable binaries.
If you did not change permissions it will not show the path, even being within the PATH variable.
How do I change the home directory to which gcloud copies files. I'm using the following command to copy a file from a local Windows account to Ubuntu which is hosted in a Google Compute Engine instance.
gcloud compute copy-files readme.md compute-engine-instance:readme.md
For some crazy reason the readme file will end up in a remote home directory with the same name as my local user account. I would like to specify which home directory on the compute engine to copy that file to.
gcloud compute copy-files and other SSH-related commands default to using the name of the local user as the username on the remote host (note that this is very similar to the behavior of plain ssh).
Try gcloud compute copy-files readme.md otheruser#compute-engine-instance: instead.
As you can see in gcloud compute copy-files --help, the command has the following specification:
gcloud compute copy-files [[USER#]INSTANCE:]SRC [[[USER#]INSTANCE:]SRC ...]
[[USER#]INSTANCE:]DEST [--dry-run] [--plain]
[--ssh-key-file SSH_KEY_FILE] [--zone ZONE] [GLOBAL-FLAG ...]
You can specify either a user, or a full path to do what you want.
gcloud compute copy-files readme.md user#compute-engine-instance:readme.md
or
gcloud compute copy-files readme.md compute-engine-instance:/home/user/readme.md
The destination can also be a directory. So these would work as well.
gcloud compute copy-files readme.md user#compute-engine-instance:~
or
gcloud compute copy-files readme.md compute-engine-instance:/home/user
I depolyed an app with gcloud preview app deploy.
Is there a way to download it to an other local machine?
How can I get the files? I tried it via ssh with no success (can't access the docker dir)
UPDATE:
I found this:
gcloud preview app modules download default --version 1 --output-dir=my_dir
but it's not loading files
Log

I am coming to Google App Engine after two years, I see that they have made lots of improvements and added tons of features. But sadly, their documentation sometimes leaves much to be desired.
I used to download my code of the uploaded version with the appcfg.pyusing the following command.
appcfg.py download_app -A <app_id> -V <version> <output-dir>
But of course now that they have culminated everything in the gcloud shell where appcfg.py is not accessible.
However, the following method helped me to download the deployed code:
Go the console and in to the Google App Engine.
Select the project you want to work with.
Once the project's dashboard opens, Click on the top right to
open the built in console window.
Which should load the cloud shell at the bottom, now if you check appcfg.py is available to you to use in this VM.
Hence, use appcfg.py download_app -A <app_id> -V <version> <output-dir> to download the code.
Now once you have the code in the desired folder, in order to download it on your local machine - You can open the docker code editor
Now here I assumed if I rightclicked and exported the desired
folder it would work,
but instead it gave me the following error message.
{"Error":"'concurrency' must be a number but it is [object Undefined]","Message":"'concurrency' must be a number but it is [object Undefined]"}
So, I thought maybe it would play along nicely if the the folder
was an archive. Go back to the cloud shell and using whatever
utility you fancy make an archive of the folder
zip -r mycode.zip mycode
Go to the docker code editor, export and download.
Now. Of course there might many more ways do it (hopefully) but this is what made sense to me after returning to Google App Engine after 2 years.
Currently, the best way to do this is to pull the files out of Docker.
Put instance into self-managed mode, so that you can ssh into it:
$ gcloud preview app modules set-managed-by default --version 1 --self
Find the name of the instance:
$ gcloud compute instances list | grep gae-default-1
Copy it out of the Docker container, change the permissions, and copy it back to your local machine:
$ gcloud compute ssh --zone=us-central1-f gae-default-1-1234 'sudo docker cp gaeapp:/app /tmp'
$ gcloud compute ssh --zone=us-central1-f gae-default-1-1234 "chown -R $USER /tmp/app"
$ gcloud compute copy-files --zone=us-central1-f gae-default-1-1234:/tmp/app /tmp/
$ ls /tmp/app
Dockerfile
[...]
IMHO, the best option today (Aug 2018) is:
Under the main menu, under Products, go to Tools -> Cloud Build -> Build history.
There, click the ID of the build you want.
Then, in the opened window (Build details), click the source link, the download of your compressed code begins.
As simple as that.
HTH.
As of Feb 2021, you can install appengine-sdk using pip
pip install appengine-sdk
Once installed, appcfg can be used to download the app code.
python -m appcfg download_app -A app_id [ -V version ] out-dir
Nothing works. Finally I found the source code this way. Simply go to google cloud storage. choose buckets starting with us.artifacts...., select containers > images > download the latest one (look by created date). unzip after downloaded file. it will have all the deployed source code of app engine.
I've followed the Docker instructions from here exactly: https://cloud.google.com/sdk/#install-docker (click Alternative Methods to find Docker instructions).
But when I run:
docker run -t -i --volumes-from gcloud-config google/cloud-sdk gcloud compute instances list
I get:
docker run -t -i --volumes-from gcloud-config google/cloud-sdk gcloud compute instances list
ERROR: (gcloud.compute.instances.list) You do not currently have an active account selected.
Please run:
$ gcloud auth login
to obtain new credentials, or if you have already logged in with a
different account:
$ gcloud config set account <account name>
to select an already authenticated account to use.
It doesn't look like it's picking up that I already authenticated. Any ideas?
The link doesn't point to anything about Docker, could you give correct link.
The encountered error output is pointing you to follow the two-step Google verification. If you provide :
gcloud auth login
command, the verification process will start, and then you will be able to manipulate your Google CLoud project
However this page [1] could guide you installing Docker on Google Cloud.

I'm using appcfg.py update <appname> to upload/update my app, but instead I am getting this message in my terminal:
owner:~ owner$ appcfg.py update kratosapp
You do not currently have an active account selected.
Please run:
$ gcloud auth login
to obtain new credentials, or if you have already logged in with a
different account:
$ gcloud config set account <account name>
to select an already authenticated account to use.
When I try using the two recommended actions:
$ gcloud config set account <account name>
OR
$ gcloud auth login
I get the following error on my command line:
-bash: $: command not found
I'm not sure what is going on. I've tried establishing the Sym Link. This happened after my most recent update of the GAE software on the mac.
The "$" indicates that you should paste what follows into a new command line.
You always need authentication, but your old credentials may have expired or have been revoked.
