gcloud-storage-emulator 0.2.0

A stub emulator for the Google Cloud Storage API

Local Emulator for Google Cloud Storage

Google doesn't (yet) ship an emulator for the Cloud Storage API like they do for Cloud Datastore.

This is a stub emulator so you can run your tests and do local development without having to connect to the production Storage APIs.

THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS AND ONLY SUPPORTS A LIMITED SUBSET OF API

CLI Usage

Starting the emulator

Start the emulator with:

$ gcloud-storage-emulator start --port=9090

By default, data is stored under $PWD/.cloudstorage. You can configure the folder using the env variables STORAGE_BASE and STORAGE_DIR.

If you wish to run the emulator in a testing environment or if you don't want to persist any data, you can use the --no-store-on-disk parameter. For tests, you might want to consider starting up the server from your code (see the Python APIs)

Wiping data

You can wipe the data by running

$ gcloud-storage-emulator wipe

Python APIs

To start a server from your code you can do

from gcloud_storage_emulator.server import create_server

server = create_server("localhost", 9023, in_memory=False)

server.start()
# ........
server.stop()

You can wipe the data (e.g. for text execution) by calling server.wipe()

This can also be achieved (e.g. during tests) by hitting the /wipe endpoint
