Test Python Google Cloud Functions locally

问题

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 to test them locally before I deploy.

Google's documentation is a little inconsistent where they tell you to install the google functions emulator here: https://cloud.google.com/functions/docs/emulator

But over on Firebase they tell you to npm install firebase-admin, firebase-tools and firebase-functions.

All of the emulator documentation references examples written in JS, none in Python so I'm wondering if these emulator even run Python functions locally?

Thanks

You can use the Functions Framework for Python to run the function locally.

Given a function in a file named main.py like so:

def my_function(request):
    return 'Hello World'

You can do:

$ pip install functions-framework
$ functions-framework --target my_function

Which will start a local development server at http://localhost:8080.

To invoke it locally for an HTTP function:

$ curl http://localhost:8080

For a background function with non-binary data:

$ curl -d '{"data": {"hi": "there"}}' -X POST \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
http://localhost:8080

For a background function with binary data:

$ curl -d "@binary_file.file" -X POST \
-H "Ce-Type: true" \
-H "Ce-Specversion: true" \
-H "Ce-Source: true" \
-H "Ce-Id: true" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
http://localhost:8080

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 <path/to/file.py> <function_name>

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

To run it in IntelliJ with Target Type = Script Path and the default options it should look like this:

from flask import Flask, request
app = Flask(__name__)


@app.route('/')
def hello():
    return hello_get(request)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run('127.0.0.1', debug=True)

See this project on GitHub: GoogleCloudPlatform/functions-framework

Currently there are only implementations in Node.js, Go, and PHP, but see Issue #5 about the Python implementation.

I suggest, whatever implementation you use, to follow the Functions Framework Contract

UPDATE: As Dustin mentioned, there is also a Python implementation now.
