Sharing code between flexible environment modules in a GAE project

Question

I\'m structuring my GAE (flex) project as a number of services:

- my-project/
  - services/
    - service_1/
      - service_1.yaml
    - service_2/
      - serv         


        

Answer 1

I came up with another solution that seems to the best of a bunch of bad alternatives... This is what I ruled out:

• hard links -- not supported by GIT
• git submodules or subtrees -- too complicated
• splitting the shared code to an different project and adding to requirements.txt -- also too complicated

My solution was to create this two line bash script:

rm -rf deploy_dir
cp -RLp code_dir deploy_dir

It copies all my code to a new directory, and in doing the copying, all sym links get replaced with the files they linked to. I then deploy from deploy_dir
