gcloud app deploy and vendoring

[Peter Krefting]

Hi!

I am compiling a GO app that I want to upload and run on the Google Cloud
Platform and have several packages vendored, to have them under version control
along with the rest of the sources. I had to take the appengine package out of
vendoring due to various compile issues, and now everything but "gcloud app
deploy" is working. "dev_appserver.py" works, "go build" works, "go test"
works, but "gcloud app deploy" fails:

File upload done.
Updating service [default]...
........failed.
ERROR: (gcloud.app.deploy) Error Response: [9] Deployment contains files that
cannot be compiled: Compile failed:

company/vendor/golang.org/x/text/unicode/norm/normalize.go:15: can't find
import: "golang.org/x/text/transform"

The x/text/transform package is where it is supposed to be (the app.yaml is in
the $GOPATH/src/company/myproj directory, the vendor directory is one level up
at $GOPATH/src/company/myproj):

$ find ../vendor -name transform
../vendor/golang.org/x/text/transform

How come it is not picked up by "gcloud app deploy"?

This is a known issue with both App Engine standard and flex. One workaround is moving vendor directory to the same directory containing app.yaml ($GOPATH/src/company/myproj).

There is an issue in the tracker that you can follow: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/38449183

I acknowledge that the original author of this thread is using Go GAE Standard.  I just want to point out that for those on Go GAE Flex, the issue of importing vendor directories directly from main package should be resolved with gcloud version 177.0.0 when running 'gcloud beta app deploy'.

We announced the beta for a new Flex build pipeline a few weeks back -- https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/google-appengine-go/cG_JAAX73Zg/27wXKI7aBQAJ.  Please give it a shot and let us know if there are issues.

Thanks.

Has there been any progress resolving this issue for Go GAE Standard??
