Problem running GAE SDK with web2py 2.14.5

[David Manns]

This is probably a stupid question. I'm running on Windows 10 with latest version of Python 2.7.11 and the latest source code version of web2py. Actually, I downloaded the source code version 2.14.3 and updated via the admin console to 2.14.4 and then to 2.14.5.

My application runs fine in the web2py development environment. When I try to run using the GAE SDK launcher, I get the failure as logged below. Its my understanding that the source distribution of web2py includes pyDAL and this is presumably being used when running in the web2py test environment. I also tried installing pyDAL using pip install pydal, this appeared to work but made no difference.

What am I missing?

RuntimeError: web2py depends on pydal, which apparently you have not installed.

Probably you cloned the repository using git without '--recursive'

To fix this, please run (from inside your web2py folder):



     git submodule update --init --recursive



You can also download a complete copy from http://www.web2py.com.

Hey,

The error is pretty explicit. If you get web2py from github you need to make sure the git clone is recursive so you also get pyDAL The error also says how to fix it "git submodule update --init --recursive"

[David Manns]

Yes, I saw that, but I don't have git installed, have never used it. I download web2py in source form from web2py.com. As far as I know, this includes pyDAL, indeed I assume it must do otherwise I wouldn't be able to run my database app in web2py test environment. Isn't this what the error means when it says "or you can download a complete copy from web2py.com"?

[Leonel Câmara]

Yes it is. Downloading from web2py.com should indeed be fine and includes pyDAL. I don't use GAE so can't really test to find out what's wrong.

I already asked about this in this thread:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/web2py/RVhRsRdXrYI

I have reported the defect to google but so far no help from them:

It looks like developing GAE-applications with web2py and Google App Engine Launcher is impossible right now.

Deploying GAE-applications with web2py 2.14.5 linux, GAE SDK 1.9.37 seems ok

There is now a workaround available. You can add appengine_config.py file with the following content:

import sys
sys.platform = 'linux3'

For more detailed info check the appengine issue page.

I just tried web2py 2.14.6 on windows with appengine launcher 1.9.37 and it does not work without adding the appengine_config.py

I found the fix here:

https://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=12852

The key step is:

You can add a appengine_config.py python file to the root directory of your application with the following contents:

    import sys
    sys.platform = 'linux3'
