How do I deploy to GAE from the Google Cloud Source Repository?

Question

I'm considering moving my php Google App Engine project from Codenvy to the Google Source Repository and edit it there with the Source Editor, but I don't see how to cause it to deploy my project. How do I do that?

Answer 1

Here's what works for me, found through guesswork, trial, error, Billy and only a little docs.

I had set up GC Repositories to have a repository which is a mirror to bitbucket , auto-named default. Note: gcloud for default below can fail to recognise a repository that got that name by Rename. And can mistake a non-existent repository for an empty one.

Recipe 1

UPDATE: Now, after updating the bitbucket source, the deployed app does not show the update, despite "Deployment successful"]4. I don't know why - perhaps due to version number. Workaround: Use Recipe 2.

1 Ensure project's app.yaml file contains application: and version: e.g. this

2 Go to Google Cloud Patform and select the project

3 Click Activate Google Cloud Shell https://i.stack.imgur.com/x1Mz9.png

4 In Google Cloud Shell, enter:

gcloud source repos clone default
appcfg.py update default
rm -rf default

This took ~20s to deploy and ~30s to complete.

Recipe 2

1 Ensure project's app.yaml file does not contain application: or version: (else you'll get an error like this) e.g. this

2 Go to Google Cloud Patform and select the project

3 Click Activate Google Cloud Shell https://i.stack.imgur.com/x1Mz9.png

4 In Google Cloud Shell enter:

gcloud source repos clone default
gcloud --quiet app deploy default/app.yaml
rm -rf default

Warning: This can leave a previous version accessible.

This took ~65s to complete.

Re timing, compare this, taking ~20s . Timings are for a Hello World project.
