Dev appserver fails to properly reload server app

[P.Y. Laligand]

Hi there,

I've been playing with a little Dart server based on the helloworld example. When I first start the dev_appserver everything works fine, but as soon as I edit a source file the dev server tries to reload the instance and fails miserably:

$ dev_appserver.py --custom_entrypoint "dart bin/server.dart 8088" app.yaml --log_level debug --max_module_instances 1

After that, it looks like the old instance is still running as it responds to queries with the old code.

Possibly related, I can never see any log from my application in the command-line logs - I tried straight print, loggingService, logging package using the AppEngine adapter.

Any idea how to fix all this?

Thanks!

(of course, this is using App Engine)

The "port" you pass to server.dart should the value {port}, as dev_appserver.py passes the value on to the custom runtime, so

$ dev_appserver.py --custom_entrypoint "dart bin/server.dart {port}" app.yaml

Regards,

Søren

Oh wow I had totally understood "{port}" as "put whichever value you prefer in there". Just tried to put it verbatim and sure enough things work beautifully. Thanks much!

Now on to figuring out where my logs go...
