I\'ve been successfully running the local development server daily and have made no changes except that I called \"gcloud components update\" just before it stopped working.
You may create make file and have something like this:
make
export SDK=dev_appserver.py export APP_PATH=${CURDIR} run: $(SDK) $(APP_PATH)/path-to/app.yaml
And just use it with: make run so you don't have to worry about paths.
make run
