Google Developer Console Internal Error with Datastore

Question

I still use the legacy dev console most of the time because whenever I\'ve tried the newer console it has always given an \"Internal Error\" when trying to view datastore entiti

Answer 1

For anyone coming across the issue, there are a few ways to resolve this:

1. In the APIs section of the Dev Console, disable then re-enable the Cloud Datastore API.
2. File a bug on the GAE public issue tracker (You can also send me an email directly with your Cloud project ID.)

For those interested in what is actually going on:

The Developers Console uses the Cloud Datastore API to access your project's Datastore. The current version of the Cloud Datastore API (v1beta2) uses a special version on your App Engine application (ah-builtin-datastoreservice) in order to serve this API. Unfortunately, sometimes when you first enable the Cloud Datastore API the deployment of this version fails.

We are currently working to remove this layer of the serving stack for the next version of the Cloud Datastore API.

EDIT: Cloud Console now uses Cloud Datastore API v1beta3, so disabling then re-enabling likely will not solve any connection issues.
