Re: [google-appengine] Set up Google Cloud SDK or App Engine SDK or both for development?

[Kaan Soral]

By serene, I mean development should be fun and simple

You should probably start 
here: 
https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/php/tools/using-local-server

Finding dev_appserver.py is going to be a bit challenging tho, If you were 
on Linux, this would probably be the way to 
go: https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/php/download#php_linux

I am glad you added this comment. I am not sure what you mean by serene manner? 
What I think you just said (and tell me if I misunderstood) is develop with 
your favorite sdk on your local pc, and when you are done use command line 
tools to upload it and set it up. In my case my code is php under Windows so I 
should find and use App Engine PHP SDK for Windows to upload and configure. Did 
I get this right? And not bother with phpstorm for app engine?

Re: [google-appengine] Set up Google Cloud SDK or App Engine SDK or both for development?

['George (Cloud Platform Support)' via Google App Engine]

As mentioned, while installing the tools, the installer searches your 
computer for the Cloud SDK. If it can't find the SDK, then it automatically 
downloads the latest version of the SDK. You don't have to worry 
specifically about this install, and allow the Cloud Tools for Eclipse to 
automatically manage the SDK for you.

This location is used by Cloud Tools for Eclipse to (1) deploy to GCP and (2) 
to access the development local server (`dev_appserver`) to run and debug App 
Engine Standard apps locally.

Use the "Google Cloud Libraries" library group.  See the following for details:

https://cloud.google.com/eclipse/docs/libraries

Re: [google-appengine] Set up Google Cloud SDK or App Engine SDK or both for development?

[Grass CFA]

Hi all,

Thanks for all that you have replied!

This is what I have on the Google Cloud Tools settings on Eclipse. If I 
have unchecked the "Choose SDK" option the SDK Location area was greyed 
out, so that it stopped me specifying a different SDK location here.




I have successfully run a Hello World Google App Engine Standard Java 
project. The project structure is as below. I didn't include the App Engine 
API and obviously the App Engine SDK Jar file is not included either. But 
the project still compiled and ran. The App Engine Standard Runtime only 
contains the servet and jsp api jar files. I couldn't find anywhere I can 
reference the App Engine SDK jars. Are the servlet api and jsp api 
sufficient for an App Engine project to run? This is really confusing me.




Thanks!

Cheers,

What makes you think that the Eclipse automatically uses the SDK jar files 
from the local Maven repository? 

In any case, you can select the SDK installation you prefer. In the Eclipse 
Preferences dialog, the Google Cloud Tools setting shows the Google Cloud 
SDK configuration. When the Choose SDK checkbox is clear, then Cloud Tools 
for Eclipse is managing the SDK. You can choose right there the version of 
the SDK you prefer, and the way this is managed. The illustration to be 
seen on the "Managing the SDK for Your Project" documentation page 
 should be quite helpful.

Re: [google-appengine] Set up Google Cloud SDK or App Engine SDK or both for development?

[Brian de Alwis]

Hi.

I find it helpful to think of the Cloud SDK as "programs for manipulating and 
emulating GCP resources".  It doesn't include the APIs and client libraries.

Although the `app-engine-java` component would seem to install the App Engine 
SDK for Java, that installation is an internal implementation detail to the 
Cloud SDK.  It just happens that some of those programs use jars and other 
resources included in the App Engine Java SDK and so it's bundled alongside.

But the Cloud SDK reserves the right to repackage and radically alter the 
`app-engine-java` component.  For example, the Java-based programs could be 
packaged using `jlink` and so the jars would no longer be necessary.

So development tools, such as Cloud Tools for Eclipse, must download and 
install canonical versions of the API jars and dependencies.

Brian.
