Glide/Gaelyk/Groovy: Error deploying to Google App Engine: Can’t enter oauth2 token

Question

As part of the deployment process of a Glide project (http://glide-gae.appspot.com/docs/intro step 3 of 2nd section) you need to authenticate using oauth2. My browser popped up with the token as expected but the process didn’t wait for me to copy the code in, it just carried on with the following error...

What can I do to be able to deploy my application? How can I force the process to wait for me to enter the code?

Answer 1

A work around is to manually set your credentials in the GAE build.gradle file.

Update the following file:

/glide/install/generated/app-name/build.gradle

appcfg {

  email = ‘email-address'     
  password = ‘password'

  app {
     id = ‘app-id'
  }
}  

This means that the values from the __glide.groovy file are ignored, but at least you can get the application deployed

Answer 2

If that's (glide deploy) not working for you, the easiest option is to export the app as a standard gradle project and then execute the gaeUpdate task.

glide -a somedir/yourapp -o where/you/want/to/export/app export

Note that the export is command at the end, -o tell the location where it should be exported.

Then from the exported project run: gradle gaeUpdate
