Deploying Parse server to Google App Engine

I'm setting up a parse server to Google App Engine and I'm having trouble with the values needed for the Environment Variables in the app.yaml file.

Example: 

env_variables:
# Your MongoDB URI
DATABASE_URI: mongodb://user:[email protected]:27017/db

# Absolute path to your cloud code main.js file
CLOUD_PATH: /Users/Name/MyCloudCode/cloud/main.js

# Parse App id
APP_ID: vd234kb78ud63bti76shwExample

# master key
MASTER_KEY: 843nte7fdgdsufy3vrfdsjkExample

# file key
# FILE_KEY: <your-file-key> (I can't find this one)

# Mount path for Parse API
PARSE_MOUNT_PATH: /parse

In terminal when I run npm start I get the error throw 'You must provide an appId and masterKey!';. Should the keys be < like this? > or 'like this' or something? I've read through the Parse Migration guide but haven't been able to solve this problem.

Thanks!

Edit: If you want to downvote, at least point me in the correct direction to ask for help.

It has to do with npm not reading the yaml file (as that is only read by google app engine)

I asked same question on github and got this reply:

You could get the file key from the url to any file you had uploaded to your Parse app.

http://files.parsetfss.com/<your-file-key>/<parse-image-name>-hello.png.

Not sure if there's a cleaner way to get it, but that should work.
