Hello All,

I love the ease of the in browser editor which GAE provides, but the Editor itself is very poor and does not offer the pleasent and flexible environment which VS code or similar does.

Is there a way to connect my VS code editor directly to the GAE provisioned editor / shell?

Thanks!

Hi Dennis,


You may use Cloud Tools for Visual Studio which is a powerful environment to build Windows and .NET applications and deploy them to Cloud Platform directly from your favorite IDE. You may also follow this Quickstart or this one showing you how to configure Microsoft Visual Studio and create and deploy a .NET application on Google Cloud Platform.

Thank you Katayoon. But I am developing Nodejs apps and not on Windows.

I should note that we only support Google Cloud Tools for Visual Studio on Windows at the moment. So you may raise a feature request via the Issue Tracker so that the Cloud Tools product team may evaluate it, however there is no ETA or guarantee of implementation.

Thank you Katayoon.

However I was thinking there could be a third party system to do this?

Is it possible to virtually mount the file system to my local machine?

Or some other option users have invented?

The easiest way could be doing coding in your local Visual Studio Code and then fire it up by gcloud commands via the Command Line Interface. Hope this works for you?

Why do you mean by fire it up, deploy the app?

Yes this could work, but then it raises the question of why are Google making the online editor? It’s very far away from modern editors.

Yes, it could be deploying the app or run it locally. We are not aware of the internal decisions of Google Cloud Platform team in this regard, but as mentioned above, the Cloud Shell product team welcome all the feature requests and prioritize them based on their importance and the stars they have taken.
