Google cloud datastore API cannot find project whe

Question

I'm trying to connect and get data from Google Cloud Datastore API.

After disabling my App Engine Application (which have no use for me at the moment), I cannot access any GC Datastore API methods.

When I send my request, I always get the following response:

{ [Error: The project [my-project] does not exist.] code: 404, metadata: Metadata { _internal_repr: {} } }

I've already double-checked this and my project name is correct.

Accessing the google cloud console, I noticed that the datastore dashboard also show the same message:

Then, after enabling the app engine application again, everything works.

I know that GC Datastore was initially created to work with App Engine, but since last year it was supposed to be available everywhere (according to this).

Someone have a tip about this issue? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Answer 1

The Google Cloud Datastore API currently requires that the associated App Engine application not be disabled.

I've filed https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/google-cloud-datastore/issues/107 to track this. It's something we may be able to fix in the future.
