Test Python Google Cloud Functions locally

Question

I\'m trying out the Python3.7 runtime on Google Cloud Functions. I am able to deploy the functions and make them work once deployed, however, I can\'t seem to run the emulator t

Answer 1

Update

Please, use the official emulator and serving framework from GCP https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/functions-framework-python

You can install it with

pip install functions-framework

Deprecated

Based on Dustin's answer I've developed a package to serve as emulator:

pip install gcp-functions-emulator

Given you want to serve the following function

# mycloudfunction.py
def api(request):
  return 'important data'

To emulate we have to call it like so:

gcpfemu  

For example, with the code above we will call it:

gcpfemu mycloudfunction.py api

And to access the data we can use for example curl:

curl localhost:5000/api
> important data
