pycharm configuration for py4web

[P Page-McCaw]

Sorry for what is likely a silly question. I installed py4web in a conda environment (macos 15.5) using Luca de Alfaro's you tube videos as a template. These are 4 years old, so I needed a few changes, I think. I can launch py4web within terminal with

 

(py4web_imm) ... py4web % py4web run apps

This works great, but I'd like to edit in PyCharm. So, I've followed that video too, but now when I hit run, it fails saying it can't find the apps folder. 

/opt/anaconda3/envs/py4web_imm/bin/python .../py4web/py4web.py run apps
Usage: py4web.py run [OPTIONS] APPS_FOLDER
Try 'py4web.py run -h' for help.

Error: Invalid value for 'APPS_FOLDER': Path 'apps' does not exist.

Process finished with exit code 2 

The number of configurations I've tried is large and this what I get.  apps clearly exists as it loads the apps when run from the terminal. Not sure where I've gone wrong.  But if I use "run -h", this does run and output the help file. 

Many thanks

What I did:

• Created a virtualenv: "pyenv virtualenv 3.10.14 py4web"
• Cloned the py4web git repository locally: "git clone https://github.com/web2py/py4web.git"
• Changed directory to the local git: "cd /py4web.git"
• Installed the local git repository as: "pip install -e ."

In Pycharm - see screenshot below:

• Select the correct interpreter: the one from the virtualenv that was created
• Add the py4web git repository to the path for the selected interpreter
• Make sure the working directory is one level above the apps directory
• Run py4web as a module: see parameters in the screenshot
