Manage functions in Shell workspace

This page shows you how to manage multiple Cloud Functions configurations in a single workspace and how to rearrange your Cloud Run functions Explorer with Cloud Code.

Before you begin

This guide requires a workspace already setup (a launch.json file with at least one configuration listed). To get started with a sample, see the Create and deploy a function quickstart.

Manage multiple configurations in a single workspace

To add a new Cloud Function configuration to your launch.json file, follow these steps:

1. Click Cloud Code and then expand the Cloud Functions Explorer.

2. In the Cloud Run functions Explorer, right-click WORKSPACE and click Add new cloud function configuration.

3. Follow the prompts and perform the following actions:

   1. Enter a function name
   2. Select a Cloud Run functions environment
   3. Enter an entry point (the name of the method to call for this function)
   4. Enter the test input

   Alternatively, you can manually enter these values into your launch.json file:

   {
       "configurations": [
         {
           "name": "Deploy Cloud Function",
           "type": "cloudcode.cloudfunctions",
           "request": "launch",
           "functionName": "hello-world-get",
           "gen": "GEN_2",
           "entryPoint": "helloGet"
         }
       ]
   }
   

   Your Cloud Run functions workspace corresponds to the first configuration listed in your launch.json file. The workspace name reflects the functionName of the first configuration listed in your launch.json file:

   {
       "configurations": [
         {
           "name": "Deploy Cloud Function",
           "type": "cloudcode.cloudfunctions",
           "request": "launch",
           "functionName": "hello-world-pub-sub",
           "gen": "GEN_2",
           "entryPoint": "helloPubSub"
         },
         {
           "name": "Deploy Cloud Function",
           "type": "cloudcode.cloudfunctions",
           "request": "launch",
           "functionName": "hello-world-get",
           "gen": "GEN_2",
           "entryPoint": "helloGet"
         }
       ]
   }
   

4. (Optional) To deploy another configuration from your launch.json file, move the configuration you want to deploy to the top of the launch.json file and click refresh Refresh Cloud Functions Explorer.

Rearrange Cloud Run functions Explorer into your IDE's file Explorer

You can rearrange your Cloud Run functions Explorer into Cloud Shell's file Explorer by performing the following:

1. Drag your Cloud Run functions Explorer into Cloud Shell's file Explorer:

   

   This arrangement displays your Cloud Run functions Explorer under the file Explorer so that you can view your deployed functions and Cloud Run functions workspace(s) in the same pane as your project files.

2. (Optional) To undo this arrangement, drag the Cloud Code: Cloud Functions Explorer's heading back to the Cloud Code Explorer.
