Versions.

@angular/cli: 1.0.2 node: 6.9.2 os: linux x64 @angular/common: 4.1.3 @angular/compiler: 4.1.3 @angular/core: 4.1.3 @angular/forms: 4.1.3 @angular/http: 4.1.3 @angular/platform-browser: 4.1.3 @angular/platform-browser-dynamic: 4.1.3 @angular/router: 4.1.3 @angular/cli: 1.0.2 @angular/compiler-cli: 4.1.3

Repro steps.

I followed the steps in this article Build a web app using Google Cloud Platform, but I met some problems when I ran this command to deploy the web app.

gcloud app deploy --version v1

The error shows ‘ng not found’. How can I deal with it? Should I change the npm start command? Or build my own docker file and push to Google Cloud? I have node and npm installed(both meet requirement), as well as angular/cli.

The log given by the failure.

Docker is awesome. If you don’t happen to be using Docker, this link provides one deployment solution to vanilla App Engine, and although slightly dated, I have used it successfully with Angular 5.1.6. Interestingly, it uses the Python runtime. HTH
