How do I deploy my GAE project for only a specific folder?

Question

I wonder how do I deploy my Google App Engine project only for a specific folder?

eg If my project source folder is "src", and inside this src folder have many sub folders. Say, I have css, app, images, and js folders, but I want to deploy only css, app and images folders to the GAE, I want GAE to ignore js folder during the deployment, is there any way to do so with some setting in app.yaml file?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Have a look at skip_files

Skipping Files

Files in your application directory whose paths match a static_dir path or a static_files upload path are considered to be static files. All other files in the application directory are considered to be application program and data files.

The skip_files element specifies which files in the application directory are not to be uploaded to App Engine. The value is either a regular expression, or a list of regular expressions. Any filename that matches any of the regular expression is omitted from the list of files to upload when the application is uploaded.

Answer 2

You can now add a .gcloudignore file to the root of your project ( https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/topic/gcloudignore ). The syntax is the same as .gitignore files.

For the OPs case, placing the following in the root folder (next to app.yaml ) should do the trick:

# .gcloudignore
