Everytime I deploy my project to appengine the GWT modules recompile(which takes several minutes). This happens even if there are no changes to the code and I am only updating the server code. How can I stop this?
Patrick, I'm not sure why you are deploying to the app engine if you are not making any changes. Anyway, you could do the following:
Right click on your project -> export -> as war
When you create a war, this does not compile, and then you can manually upload the .war to the App Engine using the appcfg tool.
EDIT: it's not necesary to use the eclipe export, all you need to do is use the appcfg tool and build from eclipse.
Check this out for additional info on using appcfg to deploy.

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'd like to deploy an app on GAE, but I think I must be missing something.
I've downloaded the google cloud code plugin for IntelliJ.
I've installed the gcloud SDK
I've authenticated with my google account
I've created a new project of type GAE project, which in the project structure window shows the GAE facet, and has an appengine-web.xml file.
Yet when I try and run my new project the log shows an error:
21:51 Error running 'Google App Engine Deployment': Deployment is not selected
I presume it's referring to this window:
As you can see there are no deployments. When I try to edit the Run configuration, there's not much there:
What am I doing wrong?
what happens if you try adding AppEngine support explicitly, i.e. using Tools -> Cloud Code -> App Engine -> Add App Engine Support -> App Engine Standard menu? Will the deployment target appear or anything changes?
I want to use IntelliJ IDEA IDE for developing GAE Golang apps. I know I need to download the program and the Golang plugin, but beyond that I am lost. Is there a tutorial available on how to configure IDEA for GAE Go development?
I have my project set up in GOPATH/src/... folder, App Engine SDK is configured and I can run my project from command line using goapp. However, I would like to be able to setup an IDE for syntax checking and be able to run and debug the app from the IDE, rather than resort to using the console.
Right click your project in the left pane and select 'Open Module Settings'. From there:
go to Project Settings -> Project
New SDK -> select the path to the goroot directory of the appengine sdk
Apply and you should have completion for the standard go appengine stuff.
If you also want completion for packages that you download using goapp get XXX, go to 'Platform Settings -> SDKs' and add the appropriate path there. It should be somewhere under gopath.
I use the Google App Engine SDK 1.8.5 with Eclipse 3.8 on Ubuntu.
I want to add the Cloud Storage service to my app, so I downloaded guava-gwt-15.0.jar and appengine-gcs-client-0.3.jar, and put them in my apps /war/WEB-INF/lib/ folder. I also added these jars to the build path in Eclipse.
When I fire up my app in dev mode, it runs fine, at least until I try to access a page relevant to the GCS library. When I do that, I get the following error:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/google/common/base/Preconditions
at com.google.appengine.tools.cloudstorage.GcsServiceImpl.<init>(GcsServiceImpl.java:35)
at com.google.appengine.tools.cloudstorage.GcsServiceFactory.createGcsService(GcsServiceFactory.java:32)
... etc
I cleaned my project and restarted Eclipse multiple times, and still the problem persists. What to do?
In addition to Guava for GWT, you also need the core Guava library (guava-15.0.jar). Download the .jar to war/WEB-INF/lib and add it to you build path as well.
