Flood of errors in console when running Datastore sample against local Datastore emulator about golang-samples HOT 11 CLOSED

Forgot to mention:
This is on OS X 10.11.4

from golang-samples.

I can't reproduce this, but I'm trying from Linux.

Are you using the latest version of the datastore emulator?

Also, there was a recent update to the google.golang.org/cloud/datastore package to use the new datastore/v1beta3 API.

Ensure you are fully up to date:
go get -u google.golang.org/cloud/datastore

from golang-samples.

It sounds like the emulator isn't really running on that port. Does port 8687 match the output from gcloud beta emulators datastore start?

from golang-samples.

Thanks for the response.

I installed everything fresh last night, after the v1beta3 announcement. I believe the emulator is working correctly because I can go through the getting started guide for other languages and those apps connect successfully.

from golang-samples.

OK, I can reproduce this on Mac OS. Will file a bug with the emulator team.

from golang-samples.

Ah, I can also reproduce on Linux. I must have misconfigured my Linux box yesterday.

This is because the datastore emulator doesn't support gRPC yet.

from golang-samples.

That would certainly explain it. Can't the Go app connect via json/http rather than gRPC? Presumably that's what the Datastore samples for python, java, and node all do.

from golang-samples.

It could, but this sample uses the google.golang.org/cloud/datastore library, which uses gRPC.

It wouldn't be worth changing the underlying transport. It'd be best to get the emulator working with gRPC!

It's strange that the emulator exposes the environment variables that are specifically for gRPC (DATASTORE_EMULATOR_HOST rather than DATASTORE_HOST, which was for HTTP/1.1)

from golang-samples.

I have no sense of how much work is involved here, but I bet @pcostell knows.

from golang-samples.

Ah, yes. I followed up with Patrick. He's working on it.

Hey all --

There is a gRPC emulator available!

It has the same command line options as the normal gcd.sh tool, but isn't yet built into the gcloud tool. For now it only works with v1beta3 over gRPC, which is why we can't just swap it in for the old emulator, which supports both v1beta2 and v1beta3, but only using proto-over-HTTP.
