gcloud deployment failed

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Run:
gcloud preview app deploy app.yaml --promote --project myapp-1001 --version 
20151105t191258 --force

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expected the app to be deployed.  Instead, I got this error:

Copying files to Google Cloud Storage...
Synchronizing files to [gs://staging.myapp-1001.appspot.com/].
Updating module [default]...failed.

What is the output of 'gcloud info'?

I've encountered the same issue. For me the issue is caused by a file that 
isn't even part of Docker image that is being deployed. I've created a minimal 
setup that reproduces the error:

Thanks for reporting this. We're working on a fix.

The recommended workaround right now is to add 'node_modules' to the 
'skip_files' clause of app.yaml, as described here: 
https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/config/appconfig?hl=en#Python_app
_yaml_Skipping_files

It'll look something like:

    skip_files:
    - ^(.*/)?#.*#$
    - ^(.*/)?.*~$
    - ^(.*/)?.*\.py[co]$
    - ^(.*/)?.*/RCS/.*$
    - ^(.*/)?\..*$
    - ^node_modules/.*$
