App.yaml missing when downloading source - google-app-engine

Just tried downloading source for one of my old apps using SDK 1.7.4.437 (on a Mac) and the source downloaded did not contain app.yaml file.
Used the following command: appcfg.py download_app -A <application_id> -V <version> <folder>
What am I doing wrong here?

app.yaml is not uploaded when you deploy your project
UPDATE
The Downloaded Source Code Is Missing The .yaml Files : http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=4337
But finding this issue again, I also found this entry. See the list of downloaded files.

Unable to provide custom app.yaml file for Java GCP App Engine project

I have a Java 11 GCP App Engine project and I'm trying to use different app.yaml files depending on the environment (e.g., app-dev.yaml, app-prod.yaml, etc). The yaml files in the /appengine directory like src/main/appengine/app-dev.yaml and so on.
There is an SO post about this already, but the answer doesn't work because it clobbers the descriptor which in Java should be the pom.xml (see my Approach 2 for more information).
Approach #1
UPDATE: Solved! In order to use this approach you must be on gcloud 298.0.0+
First, I tried using the --appyaml=APPYAML argument found in https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/app/deploy#--appyaml:
gcloud app deploy [DEPLOYABLES …] [--appyaml=APPYAML] [--bucket=BUCKET] ...
I ran the following and received an error that the appyaml argument isn't recognized.
$ gcloud --project=my-project app deploy --appyaml=app-dev.yaml
ERROR: (gcloud.app.deploy) unrecognized arguments: --appyaml=app-dev.yaml
The fully qualified path to app-dev.yaml doesn't work either.
Approach #2
Next I found a slighly different syntax in https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/flexible/java/configuring-your-app-with-app-yaml that looks like this:
gcloud app deploy service-name-app.yaml
I tried the same locally but pointed to my custom app-dev.yaml like so, but it breaks:
$ gcloud --project=my-project app deploy src/main/appengine/app-dev.yaml
...
descriptor: [/Users/SomeDev/IdeaProjects/my-project/app-server/src/main/appengine/app-dev.yaml]
source: [/Users/SomeDev/IdeaProjects/my-project/app-server/src/main/appengine]
target project: [my-project]
target service: [default]
target version: [20200831abcdefg]
target url: [https://my-project.uc.r.appspot.com]
This breaks because it thinks the app-dev.yaml is the descriptor file instead of a pom.xml, so it errors out with the following:
Error message: did not find any jar files with a Main-Class manifest entry
To compare, I ran a normal deployment without a custom yaml file and you can see the pom.xml is the value of the descriptor.
$ gcloud --project=my-project app deploy
...
descriptor: [/Users/SomeDev/IdeaProjects/my-project/app-server/pom.xml]
source: [/Users/SomeDev/IdeaProjects/my-project/app-server]
target project: [my-project]
target service: [default]
target version: [20200831abcdefg]
target url: [https://my-project.uc.r.appspot.com]
Is there a recommended way to make this work, or is this the wrong approach entirely?
Looking at your "Approach #1" you have to upgrade your gcloud to version >= 298.0.0 here --appyaml parameter have been added - quite recently in Jun'20.
Looking at your "Approach #2". If you are running gcloud app deploy (without parameters) it search for descriptor app.yaml in current directory and if not found - than for pom.xml. If you want to use pom.xml from different localization you have to remove it from current directory. I didn't test it to the very end, just tested the descriptor value in summary.
Anyway I don't think using above is best way to do it. When you use pom.xml as descriptor it means that you are using feature called "deploy your Maven project as source code". Which is not main way to deploy app engine with maven.
According to my understanding if maven was used for build, its possible to use the jar in entrypoint of app.yaml file (reference) or maven goal appengine:deploy (reference + article that should be interesting).

s3cmd flagging CSS with wrong MIME type

I'm running automated builds on CircleCI of a react app. And a step involves running npm run build and then copying to an S3 bucket to host builds. What I'm seeing is that s3cmd is copying *.css files to my S3 bucket with the wrong MIME type (text/plain) and that when served up this is causing the web application to not work.
I'm running s3cmd version 2.0.2 both locally on my mac (homebrew) and on CircleCI (running inside of a nodejs container, installed via installing pip, setuptools, and installing s3cmd via sudo python setup.py install).
When running locally on my mac, I deploy my app like this:
s3cmd put --recursive -P dist/* s3://$BUCKET
On CircleCI -- I run the exact same command. I have also tried the --guess-mime-type option which seems to have no effect.
The way I determine the MIME type is wrong is like this:
$ s3cmd info s3://$BUCKET/$DEPLOY/static/css/main.a0a90112.css | grep MIME
MIME type: text/plain
When I run the same command after having deployed from my local machine, I get a CSS MIME type.
So what am I doing wrong?
I had this problem with s3cmd rsync (not s3cmd put as in the question) setting files with extension .css as mime type type text/plain. Thanks to the comment above and in it's linked issues, this fixed it:
s3cmd sync --no-mime-magic --guess-mime-type ...
Using
s3 put ...
You can upload all your files excluding css with
--guess-mime-type --no-mime-magic --exclude "*.css"
And then you upload only css with forced mime-type
-m "text/css" --exclude "*" --include "*.css"

Spacy on AppEngine standard

I'm trying to use Spacy on the new AppEngine Standard Python 3.7 runtime.
When I try to deploy I get:
ERROR: (gcloud.app.deploy) Cannot upload file
[/my/project/path/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/spacy/lang/tr/lemmatizer.py],
which has size [41523943] (greater than maximum allowed size of
[33554432]). Please delete the file or add to the skip_files entry in
your application .yaml file and try again.
A few oddities:
The docs seem to indicate that I don't need to upload the virtual environment and it will be created from requirements.txt
Looking at the log file, it seems to ignore .pyc files, but not the venv directory
The error message says to add to the skip_files in your application .yaml file and try again., but the docs say the python3.7 runtime doesn't use skip files and to use a .gcloudignore file instead, but adding venv/ or venv/* doesn't work (it appears to be ignored)
To fix this, I needed up update gcloud and reauthenticate:
gcloud components update
gcloud auth login

Where does GO look for google-cloud-sdk ? What should GOPATH be?

I'm having trouble setting up Go App engine on osX. Should the google-cloud-sdk path be in GOROOT or GOPATH?
I put the google-cloud-sdk in /usr/local
It looks like there is source code in: goroot/
/usr/local/google-cloud-sdk/platform/google_appengine/goroot/
go env
GOPATH="/usr/local/google-cloud-sdk/platform/google_appengine/goroot"
GORACE=""
GOROOT="/usr/local/go"
GOTOOLDIR="/usr/local/go/pkg/tool/darwin_amd64"
$ go get
package google.golang.org/appengine: cannot download, /usr/local/google-cloud-sdk/platform/google_appengine/goroot is a GOROOT, not a GOPATH. For more details see: 'go help gopath'
package google.golang.org/appengine/datastore: cannot download, /usr/local/google-cloud-sdk/platform/google_appengine/goroot is a GOROOT, not a GOPATH. For more details see: 'go help gopath'
When I attempted to change the PATH to include /src:
GOPATH="/usr/local/google-cloud-sdk/platform/google_appengine/goroot/src"
$ go get
package google.golang.org/appengine: mkdir /usr/local/google-cloud-sdk/platform/google_appengine/goroot/src/src: permission denied
package google.golang.org/appengine/datastore: cannot find package "google.golang.org/appengine/datastore" in any of:
/usr/local/go/src/google.golang.org/appengine/datastore (from $GOROOT)
/usr/local/google-cloud-sdk/platform/google_appengine/goroot/src/src/google.golang.org/appengine/datastore (from $GOPATH)
I appended the path to google-cloud-sdk to GOROOT:
export GOROOT="/usr/local/go/:/usr/local/google-cloud-sdk/platform/google_appengine/goroot"
GO doesn't seem to like multiple paths in GOROOT:
$ go get
go: cannot find GOROOT directory: /usr/local/go/:/usr/local/google-cloud-sdk/platform/google_appengine/goroot
I did run the ./install.sh script after I copied the source to /usr/local
The additional PATH's added did not fix the errors I was having.
I saw this answer: Test cases for go and appengine
But it's from 5 years ago and it seems clunky/hacky. It would seem in 5 years there would be a more elegant solution that copying individual directories and creating symlinks.
EDIT **********************
mv /usr/local/google-cloud-sdk/ ~/go/ then deleted GOPATH and GOROOT from .bash_profile
I then ran ./install.sh
I attempted to run 'go get':
$ go get
go install: no install location for directory /Users/Bryan/work/gocode/skincarereview outside GOPATH
Since that failed, I added the path to the working directory of code AND appended the path to google-cloud-sdk to PATH:
export GOPATH = "/Users/Bryan/work/gocode/skincarereview"
export PATH=$HOME/google-cloud-sdk:$PATH
go get get failed with the same message:
$ go get
go install: no install location for directory /Users/Bryan/work/gocode/skincarereview outside GOPATH
For more details see: 'go help gopath'
It goes in neither $GOROOT or $GOPATH. Just unpack it to your $HOME directory and run the installer. If necessary, add it to your $PATH by adding this line to your .bash_profile.
export PATH=$HOME/google-cloud-sdk:$PATH
Make sure you grab the golang SDK as well with gcloud components install app-engine-go https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/go/download
DO NOT change your path to include the src dir in google-cloud-sdk/platform/google_appengine/goroot/src. That will break things. You leave your $GOPATH to be your normal installation. Using the App Engine SDK for Go automatically uses the sources in that dir without any manipulation.
Also, you should NEVER MANUALLY change $GOROOT unless you plan on compiling a new Go version from source (as in a new version of the language). It will automatically set the proper $GOROOT for you. https://dave.cheney.net/2013/06/14/you-dont-need-to-set-goroot-really
If your install is messed up beyond reason (happened to me once), just remove the cloud SDK and any references to it in your $PATH. Also completely uninstall the regular Go installation. Then start from scratch. Install Go, unpack google-cloud-sdk, run installer (add to $PATH if needed), gcloud components install app-engine-go. Voila.
When developing for App Engine, your go sources go into your REGULAR $GOPATH. They DO NOT go in google-cloud-sdk/... anywhere. To run the dev_appserver locally, run dev_appserver.py [path-to-source] where the given path contains your code and the app.yaml. I usually cd in to my project path (e.g. cd $HOME/go/src/myproject) and run with dev_appserver.py ./. https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/go/tools/using-local-server
Deployment is covered here. https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/go/tools/uploadinganapp
EDIT: Folder structure.
$GOPATH = $HOME/go
Location for google-cloud-sdk folder

Ubuntu - Right protobuf paths for ./configure command

I am following Google official documentation for GAE (Google app engine) installation.
Look at this part (relative to gae php extension): https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/appengine-php-extension
./configure --enable-gae --with-protobuf_inc=<include_path> --with-protobuf_lib=<lib_path>
The documentation says:
Set <include_path> and <lib_path> to where you have installed the protobuf headers and libraries in the previous step.
I always get an error in the terminal when I run the ./configure command, because I don't know which are the right protobuf paths.
P.s.
When installing Protobuf I followed this documentation:
https://github.com/google/protobuf/blob/master/src/README.md
My /home/Experiments folder contains 3 folders:
php-src, appengine-php-extension, protobuf.
The protobuf folder is where I have "git cloned" protobuf to install it.
If you follow the instructions under Building in the linked repository for the App Engine PHP Runtime, you'll find that in step 2, you choose an output directory when generating C++ source and header files for remote_api.proto and urlfetch_service.proto. That folder would be the correct one to supply via cmd args.
