crashpad/doc/appengine

This is the App Engine app that serves https://crashpad.chromium.org/.

To work on this app, obtain the following packages:

 - Go, from https://golang.org/dl/. This is only necessary for local development
   and testing. The directory containing the “go” executable, such as
   /usr/local/go/bin, must appear in $PATH. It does not appear critical for the
   Go version used to match the Go runtime version used (for example, these
   instructions were tested with Go 1.14 locally but a Go 1.11 runtime when
   deployed), but if problems are encountered, it would be wise to use the same
   version for both local development and AppEngine deployment.
 - The Google Cloud SDK from, https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs. This is
   necessary for both local development and for AppEngine deployment. Unpacking
   this package produces a google-cloud-sdk directory, whose bin child directory
   may be added to $PATH for convenience, although this is not strictly
   necessary.

The commands in this README are expected to be run from the directory containing
it. $GOPATH must also be set to include this directory:

% export GOPATH="$(go env GOPATH):$(pwd)"

To test locally:

% go get -d crashpad-home
% …/google-cloud-sdk/bin/dev_appserver.py src/crashpad-home

Look for the “Starting module "default" running at: http://localhost:8080” line,
which tells you the URL of the local running instance of the app. Test
http://localhost:8080/ and http://localhost:8080/doxygen to ensure that they
work.

To deploy:

% version=$(git rev-parse --short=12 HEAD)
% [[ -n "$(git status --porcelain)" ]] && version+=-dirty
% …/google-cloud-sdk/bin/gcloud app deploy \
      --project=crashpad-home --version="${version}" --no-promote \
      "$(pwd)/src/crashpad-home"

(Note: the $(pwd) is necessary for “gcloud app deploy” to recognize that the
application is in GOPATH, putting it into “GOPATH mode”. This normally happens
correctly on its own even with a relative path, but will fail for relative
paths when $(pwd) is a symbolic link. Using an absolute path here will save you
from this frustration, freeing you up to undoubtedly experience other
frustrations.)

Activate a newly-deployed version by visiting the App Engine console at
https://console.cloud.google.com/appengine/versions?project=crashpad-home,
selecting it, and choosing “Migrate Traffic”. It is also possible to delete old
versions from this page when they are no longer needed.
