I've recently started with Appengine and I'd been using the regular old deployment method using appcfg.py.
Now I want to start deployment using release pipelines. I created a pipeline in my Project settings, then authenticated myself in gcloud.
Now if I do gcloud init myproj-id, I should theoretically get the content of my project pulled from the server right? But that doesn't happen.
https://developers.google.com/cloud/sdk/gcloud/reference/init
If you have enabled push-to-deploy in the Cloud Console, one of the
things that gcloud init will do for you is cloning the Google-hosted
git repository associated with PROJECT
So, my questions:
Why is the content not pulled?
What happens if I push my project via git now? How would Appengine manage my previously deployed project via appcfg.py versus my git push'd project?
Why is the content not pulled?
Did you configure your repository by using the Configure your repository link at the top of the pipeline configuration page?
What happens if I push my project via git now? How would Appengine manage my previously deployed project via appcfg.py versus my git push'd project?
Unless you use different versions, App Engine won't make a difference; your git pushed project will overwrite your previous one.

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.
I am using Google Cloud to deploy my application. I have followed the steps in the documentation for deploying. I deployed early on in my project and it was successful. I then decided to change some files and update some features in my app. For this i followed the documentation for updating a deployment. This update was successful. It had me create the deployment in my Deployment Manager and run the gcloud commands to commence update. When I redeployed with gcloud app deploy, it was successful.
I have since added a couple more lines of code and features in my application. I followed the same documentation for updating a deployment as I had the first time I made an update and it is no longer working for me.
Does anybody have any idea what would be the problem? Again, I was able to successfully deploy, and even update that deployment once by following Google Cloud docs. Now I am having no luck.
Have you been changing the version number? Go to:
https://console.cloud.google.com/appengine/versions?project=< your project name >&serviceId=default
And make sure the version you want is active. Also, you can try:
http://<VERSION>-dot-<SERVICE>-dot-<PROJECT_ID>.<REGION_ID>.r.appspot.com
Example:
https://20200813-dot-myapp.uc.r.appspot.com
if the version number was 20200813 and your appname is myapp and the region is uc
I created a project local to my Mac using "ng cli"; specifically, "ng new." The project runs locally, but I do not have a way to deploy it to my account in Google Cloud - Application Engine.
I followed Google's tutorial using gcloud commands in the cloud, but I prefer to use my local repository, etc. as I am running on "free" until I can afford to be commercially viable.
NOTE: You require a billing account to create a REPO in GCP.
I finally found this in Google Cloud Platform documents. So, basically, follow the instructions on Google's site (url below) to create a remote and local project. Write your code in the local repo, then push to the remote repo and deploy with gcloud commands (in a cloud shell in https://console.cloud.google.com) from the remote repository.
https://cloud.google.com/source-repositories/docs/quickstart
(Synopsis of the page intro ...)
Quickstart
This page shows you how to set up a GCP repository and use it as a remote for a local Git repository.
The sections below walk you through the steps of creating a local Git repository that contains files for a sample App Engine application, adding a GCP repository as a remote, and pushing the contents of the local repository.
I'm trying google cloud for my PHP site. I use bitbucket git repo and connected it to my google cloud account. Now I want to test the push-to-deploy feature. I set the release pipeline so that any git push to the bitbucket repo supposed to be deployed automatically to the compute engine. But it just won't get deployed at all. Google doesn't show anything on the commit table in the release pipeline page, although we could see that the code is successfully updated via Browse menu.
The Google little changed the feature of push to deploy. Now you have to create the Jenkins Instance to build and test your application. Go through the docs [1] and follow the steps.
