带有python的Google Pubsub模拟器

Question

Does anyone have a very basic pub/sub example for Python that uses the emulator.

This here is my subscriber code

## setup subscribers
from google.cloud import pubsub

print("subscribing to topic")


subscriber = pubsub.SubscriberClient()
subscription_path = subscriber.subscription_path(app.config['PUB_SUB_PROJECT'], app.config['PUB_SUB_TOPIC'])

def callback(message):
    print('Received message: {}'.format(message))


subscriber.subscribe(subscription_path, callback=callback)

And then here is my code for publishing

from google.cloud import pubsub
publisher = pubsub.PublisherClient()
topic_path = publisher.topic_path(app.config['PUB_SUB_PROJECT'], app.config['PUB_SUB_TOPIC'])
try:
    topic = publisher.create_topic(topic_path)
except Exception:
    app.logger.info("Topic already exists")
data = "ein test"
data = data.encode('utf-8')
publisher.publish(topic_path, data=data)
print("published topic")

It seems that publishing works -> but I think it's actually publishing to the cloud queue and not to the emulator. Therefor my subscriber never receives anything.

Any tipps and tricks are welcome. I believe it's as simple as ensuring that the publisher publishes to the emulator and the subscriber reads from the emulator.

In Python you don't need to make any code changes to use the emulator. Instead, you must have the PUBSUB_EMULATOR_HOST and PUBSUB_PROJECT_ID environmental variables defined.

The easiest way to set them is to run $(gcloud beta emulators pubsub env-init) before starting your program. if you are using Google App Engine locally, run that command and then start your app with dev_appserver.py app.yaml --env_var PUBSUB_EMULATOR_HOST=${PUBSUB_EMULATOR_HOST} .
