Cloudbees: App Engine Deployment failing - google-app-engine

Strange error when deploying to GAE from Cloudbees DEV#cloud Jenkins instances:

Recording test results
Now, this used to work. I install node as part of my test scripts, so Jenkins can use casperjs and phantom to run the test suite. However, the app itself doesn't use node (it's Python, on Google App Engine). The two relevant lines seem to be
ERROR: Couldn't find path for tool 'GAE Python SDK 1.7 (latest)'
com.cloudbees.plugins.deployer.exceptions.DeployException: No {0} SDK available for node.
and I do not understand what's looking for a path, or why there'd be an SDK needed for node. (I think that "node" there does not mean "nodejs"; I think it means "this node that Jenkins is running on; i.e., a computer".)
So, why can't the deployer find an SDK? More importantly, how can I fix it?

AppEngine SDK 1.7 isn't supported anymore, and has been removed from build slaves. Change your jenkins instance configuration to use the 1.8 SDK

GAE: No longer able to update my Gaelyk project due to appcfg losing support

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.

AssertionError constantly appearing when I try to use on Google App Engine SDK

The following error keeps appearing whenever I try to do
dev_appserver.py app.yaml
File "/Users/monikap/Desktop/test-dir/google-cloud-sdk/platform/google_appengine/dev_appserver.py", line 95, in
assert sys.version_info[0] == 2
AssertionError
I have Python version 3.7 installed on my Mac
The development server still needs python 2 installed, even for python 3 apps, see Python 3.7 Local Development Server Options for new app engine apps
Python3 now has GA support on Cloud SDK.
I think you need to update your Cloud SDK with gcloud components update.

Deploy ASP.NET Core 2.1 app to Google Cloud App Engine error: bad character range

When I try to publish an ASP.NET Core 2.1 Web Application to Google Cloud Platform App Engine I get the error gcloud crashed (error): bad character range.
I publish with the GCP Visual Studio 2017 extension and I get the above error.
I publish from the cmd with an app.yaml in my project and I get the above error.
In order to deploy the ASP.NET Core 2.1 web application to Google Cloud App Engine I added an app.yaml file with the following contents:
runtime: aspnetcore
env: flex
I did the following:
Added app.yaml with
runtime: aspnetcore
env: flex
Added it to csproj
<ItemGroup>
<None Include="app.yaml" CopyToOutputDirectory="Always" />
</ItemGroup>
And executed the command
gcloud beta app deploy ./bin/release/netcoreapp2.1/publish/app.yaml
However I got the error: gcloud crashed (error): bad character range
Anyone know what I am doing wrong?
I follow the following guide and still get the same error when I try method 1, 2 and 3: https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2017/10/4-ways-you-can-deploy-an-ASP.NET-Core-app-to-GCP.html
This issue is being investigated at the moment and a fix should be released soon. As a workaround, please downgrade your Cloud SDK version to 212.0.0 by running the following command:
gcloud components update --version 212.0.0
Downgrading the version of your Cloud SDK to 212.0.0 or lower works because it seems in version 213.0.0 some changes were implemented that caused an issue with the yaml parser used by gcloud.
In addition, please follow this Issue Tracker thread to get updates regarding the status of this issue.
You should navigate to the publish directory first and deploy from there. Make sure the app.yaml file is present in the publish directory.
dotnet publish -c Release
cd ./bin/Release/netcoreapp2.1/publish
gcloud app deploy

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
Beginning deployment of service [default]...

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.

PyCharm unable to load NoseGAE

I've created a nose test config in PyCharm. I have NoseGAE installed in the virtualenv where I'm working. Running tests from the terminal with ./env/bin/nosetests --with-gae src/tests works great. The PyCharm test config, however, yields
/Users/bistenes/Code/myproject/env/bin/python /Applications/PyCharm.app/Contents/helpers/pycharm/noserunner.py src/tests/
Testing started at 6:31 PM ...
/Users/bistenes/Code/myproject/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/nose/plugins/manager.py:395: RuntimeWarning: Unable to load plugin nosegae = nosegae:NoseGAE: nose>=0.10.1
RuntimeWarning)
Config is set to Nosetests, "All in folder" src/tests. The error happens whether or not --with-gae is passed as a param.
The ensuing failures are indicative of NoseGAE not being loaded:
AssertionError: No api proxy found for service "datastore_v3"
Make sure you have the latest pkg_resources by running pip install --upgrade setuptools. Then add the version of pkg_resources you want to be using to the front of your path. In PyCharm you can do this by adding an environment variable to the test configuration: PYTHONPATH=/path/to/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH.
This is happening because PyCharm, when support for Google App Engine is enabled (under "Languages & Frameworks"), inserts a bunch of GAE SDK directories to the front of the PYTHONPATH. The Python GAE SDK ships with setuptools-0.6c11, a version of setuptools from 2009. This has a very old version of pkg_resources bundled with it, which doesn't work with newer nose plugins.
