I'm really confused with the way to try Datastore in local. Please, give me a minute to explain.
I'm developing a app composed to few microservices like a only gae app. In a parte of the app, I use the datastore. So when I run my app, I use the development server and when I save something in the datastore calling some method I can see perfectly the entity in the gae's admin web portal. Well, now, instead of calling directly to ndb library and his methods I've built a small library over ndb to abstract his functionallity, then I can call insertUser() instead of work directly with ndb. So, the problems appear when I try test this small library that I built (I've written a test.py file to do this). At first, I thought that this does not can work because this test was executing without the deveserver running. After I searched info about how simulated the datastore in the local and I found this, but after I found too the unittest in local with the stubs, and now I don't understand nothing. I've tried both (gcloud datastore emulator and stub with unittest) and I don't get do simple example: I want test that a entity is saved in Datastore and after I want test that I can read this entity I suppose that dev_server (in SDK) emulate the datastore (because I can see the list of my entities there), but then, why use the datastore emulator in local dev?, and then, why is necesary uses the stub to datastore if we have a datastore emulator to do all test that I want? I don't understand. I understand that maybe my question is more of concepts than code but I need understand really right how is the best way to work with this.
