Today (24/07/2014) I installed the Google Apps components from the Google SDK installer. However when I try to run my goapps application with the command: ‘goapp serve myapp/’
I am receiving an error: ‘C:\Program’ is not recognized as an internal or external command. The problem here is that the ‘goapp.bat’ file tries to access an executable file in the ‘C:\Program Files\Google\Cloud SDK\…’ folder. Because Windows is (still) super terrible at handling spaces in folder names in scripts, it fails.
The solution is to go to the ‘C:\Program Files\Google\Cloud SDK\google-cloud-sdk\platform\google_appengine’ folder and edit the ‘goapp.bat’ file.
At the bottom of the file you will see:
:: Note that %* can not be used with shift. %GOROOT%\bin\%EXENAME% %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 |
Now add some quotes to this last line and your problem should be fixed.
:: Note that %* can not be used with shift. "%GOROOT%\bin\%EXENAME%" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 |
Once these changes are saved, go to the ‘C:\Program Files\Google\Cloud SDK\google-cloud-sdk\bin\’ folder. There’s ‘goapp.cmd’ file that gets added to the Windows path. Rename this file to ‘goapp.bck’ and copy your ‘goapp.bat file’.
In this last file change the last line again to:
:: Note that %* can not be used with shift. "%GOROOT%\..\..\platform\google_appengine\goapp" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 |
That’s it. Ugly, but it works…
