Google App Engine continues to delete my local database

Question

After I stopped using the Google App Engine in my local database for testing, I will be back in a few days and delete / delete the local data store.

How can I make it stop doing this? I have a large dataset locally that I use to test before deploying it, and I don't want to recreate it every time I start working on something.

In the "Bright data storage at startup" settings, a check box is selected, but this is not checked.

I am using python backend. Where is the local data store stored? Is this in some kind of tmp directory that keeps getting cleaned up?

Answer 1

The local data store is stored by default in your system directory. You can specify the --datastore_path command to specify an alternative location for the data store.

Note that in general, it’s a good idea to make your development in such a way that you don’t rely on the contents of the local data store for a long time — writing a script that loads a well-known test data set is usually a good idea.
