Hey guys. There are issues going between versions with local data. From what I remember, there was an issue with the local SDK going between 1.3.7 and 1.3.8. Long term solutions we are considering include better support for using SQLite as a backend (similar to what Nick did with the Python SDK).
In the meantime, it is probably a best practice to create fixtures from which you can create test data. If you're running any kind of automated testing (say Selenium), this is a practice you're already familiar with. Would it be helpful if the SDK provided an easier mechanism for loading data? If I get some time, maybe I'll blog about how to do this ... -- Ikai Lan Developer Programs Engineer, Google App Engine Blogger: http://googleappengine.blogspot.com Reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/appengine Twitter: http://twitter.com/app_engine On Mon, Dec 6, 2010 at 5:45 AM, Ian Marshall <ianmarshall...@gmail.com> wrote: > I have just found that my local datastore test data seems to be > unaffected so far by my upgrading my GAE/J SDK this morning from 1.3.8 > to 1.4.0.
