Question

Google App Engine - Cannot See Children in Datastore Viewer

Answer 1

+2 A:

You should see them all in the datastore view, but only if they have at least one indexed property - kinds with no indexed properties don't currently show up (known bug).

I haven't explicitly defined any indexes, but all my kinds are using com.google.appengine.api.datastore.Key as the @Id. Do I need to create a datastore-indexes.xml so they show up in the datastore viewer?

Not indexes, indexed properties - properties that aren't of type 'blob' or 'text', or specified as unindexed.

Interesting so if I add a property to each kind that just stores an integer w/ a hard coded 1 for each entity then it should show up?

Taylor Leese 2010-04-29 16:33:54

I added an int property to each of my kinds that wasn't showing up in the datastore viewer and they still are not showing up.

Did you actually create any entities with that property? The datastore viewer can't 'see' your schema - it can only observe the properties in entities that actually exist.
