I am new to the Google App Engine.
I used Aptana Studio 3 on Windows 7 to create a sample GAE application using its PyDev module and the "Ask Login" template. Aptana created a folder called 'src' which contains the necessary files (app.yaml, asklogin.py). But when I use the Launcher (from the GAE SDK) to deploy this application, another folder is created at the same level as the original 'src' folder, where the deployer puts in a simple 'hello webapp world' application and deploys that code instead!
During my first test, I did in fact upload a 'hello webapp world' application, but now want to override it w/ the 'Ask Login' application. But for some reason, the deployer seems to be remembering the original application (some form of hidden cacheing?).
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
In the Google App Launcher make sure that you do NOT "add application", but that you "add existing application" and point that to the src folder that you mentioned. These options can be found in the File menu.
As long as your app.yaml file contains the correct name of the application as registered on GAE you should be good to go.

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.
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?
Anytime i try executing "gcloud app deploy", below is what i get. I just don't know why.
C:\Users\charl\Desktop\Apps\webTest\webTest>gcloud app deploy ERROR:

App Engine comes in two flavors: the classic "App Engine Standard" and the newer "App Engine Flex(ible)".
Both require some configuration in order for the App Engine service to understand how you wish to run your app. In many instances, this configuration is with a file called app.yaml. For App Engine Standard for Java, the file is called appengine-web.xml. You'll need to create one of these two files for your app before you can deploy it.
The error message you received is helpful. It provides you with links to help you create the file you will need for a successful deployment.
I'm having troubles deploying a Google App Engine EAR application from Cloudbees. The application is built using 1.9.4. The application structure is similar to this project: https://github.com/deege/gae-rest-skeleton The main difference is I have more than just one module.
The problem I'm running into is how to configure the deployment. I have the "Post steps | Deploy Applications | Google App Engine (Java)" set up as the video from their site, but the configuration is expecting a WAR directory structure in the Fixed Directory section.
It's looking for a directory where a WEB-INF/appengine-web.xml file exists. I can point the configuration to the front end's directory where this does exist (and was doing that until I added more modules), but then it only deploys the front end. None of the other WARs are deployed.
I think it should be looking for the META-INF/appengine-application.xml file in the ear directory, since this describes the whole application (front ends and supporting modules).
Is there something I'm missing with the configuration? Do I need to deploy each module (WAR) separately?
Our deployer plugin was written before GAE added support for EARs. If ignoring the form validation and just entering the configuration that you know should work doesn't work then open a ticket.
I will be investigating and adding the extra form validation to the plugin at my next review window for the plugin, but an interim workaround of just ignoring any displayed errors should work
update
I have updated the app engine deployer plugin. Upgrading to version 3.0 or newer will allow you to deploy EAR exploded archives
I want to host a Java/AngularJS app on Google App Engine, and leverage the Eclipse plugin. I figure the most straightforward way to do this is:
From within Eclipse, start a new Google Web Project.
Go to project properties and uncheck GWT and DataNucleus.
Delete the generated java classes and GWT related stuff so you have an appengine.web.xml, web.xml, WEB-INF/lib, log4j properties, and a few other files left.
Put index.html under the war folder, sister to favicon.ico.
Change web.xml welcome file to index.html
Deploy and test that index.html is visible.
Deployment via Eclipse works fine, but myapp.appspot.com/ and myapp.appspot.com/index.html both return 404.
Simply put my use case is "how do I deploy an index.html to GAE (using Eclipse plugin) without the 800 pound guerilla that is GWT?"
I was unable to find good documentation on this.
Unchecking 'Use Google Web Toolkit' should be all you need to do to create a basic App Engine application without GWT, however, it will not create a sample index.html file. For that, you need to keep 'Generate project sample code' checked. This will create some extra Java files for you that you'll need to delete, but it's the closest you can get to what you described in your question.
