Unit test failure with 1.1.3 release

[Jason Etheridge]

When I upgraded to 1.1.3 from 1.1.2, my App Engine unit tests (built
using the scheme described in another post [1]) started failing with
the following stack trace:

...
File "C:/Program Files/Google/google_appengine\google\appengine\ext\db
\__init__.py", line 617, in put
self._populate_internal_entity()
File "C:/Program Files/Google/google_appengine\google\appengine\ext\db
\__init__.py", line 599, in _populate_internal_entity
self._entity = self._populate_entity(_entity_class=_entity_class)
File "C:/Program Files/Google/google_appengine\google\appengine\ext\db
\__init__.py", line 645, in _populate_entity
_app=self._app)
File "C:/Program Files/Google/google_appengine\google\appengine\api
\datastore.py", line 288, in __init__
_app = datastore_types.ResolveAppId(_app)
File "C:/Program Files/Google/google_appengine\google\appengine\api
\datastore_types.py", line 120, in ResolveAppId
ValidateString(app, '_app', datastore_errors.BadArgumentError)
File "C:/Program Files/Google/google_appengine\google\appengine\api
\datastore_types.py", line 97, in ValidateString
raise exception('%s must not be empty.' % name)
adArgumentError: _app must not be empty.

It turns out that as of 1.1.3, a value for APPLICATION_ID must be
added to your unit test's environment. Easy enough to fix, once I
worked out what was going on.

Hi,

I'm suffering with the same problem since upgrading to 1.1.3.

I have always included the first argument here:
stub =
datastore_file_stub.DatastoreFileStub(u'myTemporaryDataStorage', '/dev/
null', '/dev/null')

Do you have any more information on what you changed to correct your
problem please?

Thanks

I added the following in my test setup:

os.environ['APPLICATION_ID'] = APP_ID

... along with the other environment variables that are locally set
(AUTH_DOMAIN and USER_EMAIL). This was done after the call to create
my DataStoreFileStub instance. No other change was necessary.

Hope that helps!

Excellent, that has done the trick.

Now back to fixing my real failing tests ;)

Thanks.
