One of my original concerns about GAE was whether the development server will be feature for feature and bug for bug compatible with the live system. I have been really pleased on that front for the past 18 months and want to commend the GAE team for the results.
So when remote API came around I expected the same. I liked the concept and embraced it for my tools and unit tests. Unfortunately I have been having a very bitter experience with it. In the past I reported bug 1986 "SDK 1.2.4 broke remote Access API queries that contain the IN operator"[1] and still wait to hear when this will be fixed. (As I mention elsewhere "bugs dont make software look bad, only regressions do".) Yesterday night, I wasted a couple of hours while hitting Bug1780 "Remote API keys_only=True returns datastore.entity instead of db.Key"[2] (many thanks to thruflo the original reporter, saved me additional time I would have spent to confirm my theory) I would really appreciate: 1) some general comments from Google about remote API direction and commitment 2) update these bugs with some information on when they will be fixed 3) Comments from others on what their experience with remote API has been Thanks [1] http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=1986 [2] http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=1780 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
