Help! Can't deploy my coursebuilder. "This application does not exist"

[Paul Edison]

Hey guys! I'm a bit lost here. I'm trying to deploy coursebuilder. I've created the project in my Google API dashboard. After running the deployment script, I was asked for authentication. It was successful. Logged into the right email address/account. But then, I got an error message. Closed the command window. Tried it again. Now this was the last error message I received:

Hi Paul,

I was unable to reproduce your issue by following the instructions on this course builder tutorial for deploying the Course Builder app. Looking at your provided stack trace, it does seem that your application is not recognized as being available as part of your Cloud project. Have you tried creating an empty application on your Cloud console App Engine’s dashboard prior deploying the tutorial's application?

Additionally, it is important to have all of the application’s dependencies installed by running the [bash ./scripts/common.sh] command as specified in this same tutorial. In case it still fails, I will need you to reply with the following information in order to help you further:

   1. The output of running [gcloud --version].

   2. The output of running [python --version].

   3. What is the exact command you are calling for running the deployment script?

   4. If you have made any modification to the app.yaml file in the coursebuilder folder?

[Barry Burkett]

Paul, I was having a similar issue. I found a post on StackOverfow that helped. here are the steps that led to success for me:

1. Go to your Google Cloud Shell Console, https://console.cloud.google.com/home/dashboard?project=myproject-id
   
1. replace "myproject-id" with your project Id your page will look like 




2. In the top right of the page click on the "Activate Google Shell Icon"



3. at the bottom of your screen the Google Shell Console will open

Once you have that console open

1. type "beta app create" in the new command line.
2. Select your region.
3. then deploy the app by typing "gcloud app deploy"
1. answer to next question is no.

Follow the steps for deploying Course Builder again starting at "bash ./scripts/common.sh". You will know you have success when you see the message "Deployment to  https://your-project-ID.appspot.com  complete".

At least this is how I got it to work for me... Best of luck!!
