I have some php source code working in an app engine production environment that won't work anywhere else. Old versions of that code don't seem to work at all either so I need to get that source and see what the heck it is doing differently.
This discussion outlines the challenges I'm having: http://google-app-engine.75637.x6.nabble.com/Download-specific-Module-code-td699.html
I was told to try using appcfg.py download_app:
appcfg.py download_app -A <APP_NAME> -V <Version> <DIR>
The problem is that this command does not allow me to specify module / service so I can't target my source code. Also I'm not the App owner so I can't download everything but from what I understand that still wouldn't work because appcfg only seems to target the default service.
The article I linked ends with a suggestion to use gcloud to download the app but I haven't been able to find how to do that. Does anyone here know how to resolve this? The service is running in a Flexible instance - not sure if that makes a difference...
From appcfg.py download_app --help:
Usage: appcfg.py [options] download_app -A app_id [ -V version ]
...
-M MODULE, --module=MODULE Set the module, overriding the module value from app.yaml. ...
This invocation allowed me to download the code for the non-default python module of :
appcfg.py --module=<my_module> download_app -A <my_app> .
Of course, you need to meet authentication and ownership requirements, etc. And your app shouldn't have been configured for prevention of source code downloads (ireversible config)
