NAME

gcloud tasks create-app-engine-task - create and add a task that targets App Engine

SYNOPSIS

gcloud tasks create-app-engine-task [TASK_ID] --queue=QUEUE [--header=HEADER_FIELD: HEADER_VALUE] [--location=LOCATION] [--method=METHOD] [--relative-uri=RELATIVE_URI] [--routing=KEY:VALUE,[...]] [--schedule-time=SCHEDULE_TIME] [--body-content=BODY_CONTENT | --body-file=BODY_FILE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION

Create and add a task that targets App Engine.

EXAMPLES

To create a task:

$ gcloud tasks create-app-engine-task --queue=my-queue \ --relative-uri=/handler-path my-task

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

[TASK_ID]

The task to create.

If not specified then the system will generate a random unique task ID. Explicitly specifying a task ID enables task de-duplication. If a task's ID is identical to that of an existing task or a task that was deleted or completed recently then the call will fail.

Because there is an extra lookup cost to identify duplicate task names, tasks created with IDs have significantly increased latency. Using hashed strings for the task ID or for the prefix of the task ID is recommended.

REQUIRED FLAGS

--queue=QUEUE

The queue the task belongs to.

OPTIONAL FLAGS

--header=HEADER_FIELD: HEADER_VALUE

An HTTP request header. Header values can contain commas. This flag can be repeated. Repeated header fields will have their values overridden.

--location=LOCATION

The location where we want to manage the queue or task. If not specified, uses the location of the current project's App Engine app if there is an associated app.

--method=METHOD

The HTTP method to use for the request. If not specified, "POST" will be used.

--relative-uri=RELATIVE_URI

The relative URI of the request. Must begin with "/" and must be a valid HTTP relative URI. It can contain a path and query string arguments. If not specified, then the root path "/" will be used.

--routing=KEY:VALUE,[...]

The route to be used for this task. KEY must be at least one of: [service, version, instance]. Any missing keys will use the default.

Routing can be overridden by the queue-level --routing-override flag.

--schedule-time=SCHEDULE_TIME

The time when the task is scheduled to be first attempted. Defaults to "now" if not specified.

At most one of these can be specified:
--body-content=BODY_CONTENT

HTTP Body data sent to the task worker processing the task.

--body-file=BODY_FILE

File containing HTTP body data sent to the task worker processing the task.
