Google Cloud Storage Client not working on local dev_server

Question

I'm running SDK version 1.8.8 and r127 of the GCS client...

I have a folder called /localGCS in my Home directory... my app is also in my Home directory. From my app's directory, I call dev_appserver.py with the following:

$ dev_appserver.py app.yaml loadandprocess.yaml downloader.yaml --storage_path=../localGCS

And my localGCS folder was populated by:

~/localGCS$ ls
datastore.db  search_indexes
[mybucketfolder]                  logs.db       xsrf

Where the file I'm trying to get is inside [mybucketfolder]. However, I'm still getting an error:

NotFoundError: Expect status [200] from Google Storage. But got status 404.

Any ideas? Thanks...

From your description

.../localGCS in my Home directory... my app is also in my Home directory...

I see that your home directory and your app's directory are the same. I also see that /localGCS in inside home directory. If that is the case, you should use

--storage_path=./localGCS/[mybucketfolder].

--storage_path is described here.
