Google App Engine Make a rollback with appcfg.sh

Question

I'm trying to make a rollback due a deploy failed, my server code is on java, and also i'm using App Engine Eclipse PlugIn for. my appcfg.sh file is located at /Applications/eclipse/plugins/com.google.appengine.eclipse.sdkbundle_1.7.5/appengine-java-sdk-1.7.5/bin/appcfg.sh

---

but i get "Command not Found" when i try this sudo /Applications/eclipse/plugins/com.google.appengine.eclipse.sdkbundle_1.7.5/appengine-java-sdk-1.7.5/bin/appcfg.sh rollback /Documents/workspace/server_side/war

I can't realize what's wrong. i don`t know if is the right appcfg, because there is appcfg.cmd and appcfg.sh, i'm using an imac(Unix enviro) so i use the appcfg.sh to made the rollback. i've tried in several different ways. and nothing good happen. maybe i'm missing something. thanks!

Answer 1

I also encountered the same problem as the original poster of this question, but I still got a permission denied error when attempting to rollback, even after changing the permissions of the appcfg.sh file.

It turned out I also needed to chmod 755 run_java.sh (located in the same directory as appcfg.sh), and then I was able to rollback without problems.

I thought I would post this in case anyone encountered the same set of issues that I did.

It does not have execute permission by default:

-rw-r--r--  1 yorkw  staff   558 11 Dec 06:01 appcfg.sh

Run chmod 755 appcfg.sh to change the permission:

-rwxr-xr-x  1 yorkw  staff   558 11 Dec 06:01 appcfg.sh

Then you should be able to run it in terminal.

Use the following commands on OSX. Note the appcfg.sh doesn't have execute permission by default so you need to add it via chmod.

cd /Users/Labuser/Downloads/appengine-java-sdk-1.9.22/bin

chmod 755 appcfg.sh

sh appcfg.sh rollback /Users/Labuser/Ducuments/AndroidWS/AndroidStudioProjects/AndroidProject/modulebackend/src/main/webapp/

For anyone else who stumbles upon this and wants more detail...

In Terminal go to GAE-SDK-PATH/bin (where appcfg.sh is located) for instance:

/Applications/Eclipse/plugins/com.google.appengine.eclipse.sdkbundle_1.8.3/appengine-java-sdk-1.8.3/bin

You may not have enabled permissions with appcfg.sh, so do what @yorkw suggested if you are getting 'Permission Denied', in the bin directory type:

chmod 755 appcfg.sh

then to rollback type

./appcfg.sh --email=PROJECT_EMAIL --passin rollback ROOT_PROJECT_FOLDER/war

You will be prompted to enter the password for the project email, and then it should work! Google doc: https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/java/tools/uploadinganapp

Maybe you made the same silly oversight as me and left out "sh" at the beginning? i.e.

sh /Applications/eclipse/plugins/com.google.appengine.eclipse.sdkbundle_1.7.5/appengine-java-sdk-1.7.5/bin/appcfg.sh rollback /Documents/workspace/server_side/war
