Surprisingly, I can sympathize with crazy requirements, having been there myself. There's no live edit functionality, but you can do a lot of testing in your browser's developer tools. Try to separate out your code into testable units so you minimize the code that needs to be tested between deploys.
Another option: serve the JS files off a dynamic handler that retrieves it from datastore, and write a quick handler that allows you to edit the datastore entity. -- Ikai Lan Developer Programs Engineer, Google App Engine plus.ikailan.com | twitter.com/ikai On Wed, Oct 12, 2011 at 2:27 AM, vation <davi....@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi there, I'm in a fairly tricky position, and I'd like some advice. > In a nutshell, due to constraints I won't mention in this post, I am > not in a position to develop a frontend JavaScript application > independently of the rest of an appengine application, and the > appengine application only functions when deployed to appspot, so my > development is coupled to a cloud deployment.
