running sample application problem missing app.yaml

[Eric Van Vliet]

Following instructions in dot/tutorial.rst, I tried:

google_appengine/dev_appserver.py src/ -p 8000 --datastore_path=/tmp/
tubes1

But get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "google_appengine/dev_appserver.py", line 77, in <module>
run_file(__file__, globals())
File "google_appengine/dev_appserver.py", line 73, in run_file
execfile(script_path, globals_)
File "/home/eric/junk/pubsub/pshb-example/google_appengine/google/
appengine/tools/dev_appserver_main.py", line 682, in <module>
sys.exit(main(sys.argv))
File "/home/eric/junk/pubsub/pshb-example/google_appengine/google/
appengine/tools/dev_appserver_main.py", line 571, in main
root_path, {}, default_partition=default_partition)
File "/home/eric/junk/pubsub/pshb-example/google_appengine/google/
appengine/tools/dev_appserver.py", line 2983, in LoadAppConfig
raise AppConfigNotFoundError
google.appengine.tools.dev_appserver.AppConfigNotFoundError

And, in fact, there is no app.yaml in the src/ folder. The third
command, "google_appengine/dev_appserver.py pubsubhubbub/hub/" starts
up ok.

Appreciate any help.

Eric,

I wish I could help, but we do not use the AppEngine code :(

I hope someone from Google can jump in and help!

Thanks,

Hi Eric,

The app.yaml indeed appears to be missing in the repo:

https://github.com/marianoguerra/pshb-example/tree/master/src

I quickly compiled an example app.yaml for you:

https://gist.github.com/1527691

Note that I have not tested this so cannot vouch for its validity.

You can also consult the following for more details:

http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/config/appconfig.html

Hope this helps!

Thanks guys. Turns out there are other problems, e.g. import flask, missing install scripts. 

But found:

http://www.liangeugene.com/2011/02/running-pubsubhubbub-on-ubuntu-10-04-python-2-6/

which does the trick for me.

The README on that project is indeed rather basic; somebody should
submit some better docs.
