I am trying to deploy app engine node service on the flex environment.
Below is my configuration in app.yaml

runtime: nodejs8

env: flex



#to name a service use below syntax

service: exampleNodeApp



env_variables:

  NODE_ENV: "dev"

  PORT: 3000



skip_files: 

  .env



manual_scaling:

  instances: 1

resources:

  cpu: 1

  memory_gb: 0.5

  disk_size_gb: 10

The config is going to use the node8 image. My package.json is as below

{

  "name": "expressapp",

  "version": "1.0.0",

  "private": true,

  "main": "./bin/www",

  "scripts": {

     "start": "node ./bin/www",

   },

  "dependencies": {

      "express": "~4.16.3",

   }

}

I have tried specifying the engine also like

{

   "node": "~8.*"

}

And to see the debug logs i used

gcloud app deploy --version default1 --verbosity=debug

the error which i get is as below. Not able to resolve even after trying everything. My app runs fine on the local. Please help!

--update-- the error log

UnsatisfiedRequirementsError: Your application does not satisfy all of  the requirements for a runtime of type [nodejs8].  Please correct the errors and try again.

ERROR: (gcloud.app.deploy) Your application does not satisfy all of the requirements for a runtime of type [nodejs8].  Please correct the errors and try again.

Somewhat wrongly defined (not explicitly) in the google docs.

the runtime: nodejs8 is only available for the standard environment. But for the flex env env: flex only nodejs can be given as the param. The gcloud run-time builder does not have anything like nodejs8.

Still trying to figure out whats the version of node given runtime: nodejs.

will update soon.
