Cannot read credentials from ads.properties on GAE devserver

[Anders H]

Hi,

I have an application running on App Engine that works as expected on appspot, but when running on the devserver the credentials are not fetched from the ads.properties file.

Is this a known problem with AdWords on App Engine?

This is the info I get on the devserver:

[INFO] Client ID must be set as api.adwords.clientId in ads.properties.
[INFO] If you do not have a client ID or secret, please create one in the API console: https://code.google.com/apis/cons

Anders,

Could I trouble you to confirm how you have packaged the ads.properties file for deployment?  (e.g., is it in the .war file, and under certain directly?)

Secondly, what is the commandline that you are using to start the development server?

Thanks,

Hi Ray,

I am using Eclipse for development and have placed the ads.properties file in "src/main/resources", which is in the Java Build Path. I use Maven for compilation from the cmd prompt and the applicatioin is packed as a .war file.

To start the development server I use "mvn appengine:devserver" from the cmd prompt (Windows 7).

I have also tried to place the ads.properties file in my home directory, but with the same result.

Best,

Anders

Anders,

Could I trouble you to place the ads.properties in WEB-INF/ instead?  e.g., src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/ads.properties.

When using the API, instead of .fromFile()... try .fromFile("WEB-INF/ads.properties")...

Thanks!

Hi Ray,

I tried your suggestion, and now it works on both the devserver and on appspot.

Thanks a lot.

Best,

Anders
