When creating an application in console mode, the databases folder should be created?

[Bruno Rocha]

Hi,

I were playing with Shell mode, to explain some DAL features in a class,
I did:

<code>
 ~/web2py$ python web2py.py -S test -P
..........
application teste does not exist, create (y/n)?y
</code>

OK, web2py creates an app named "test"

So I tried:
<code>
>>> from gluon import *
>>> base = DAL('sqlite://mybase.db')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/bruno/web2py/gluon/sql.py", line 3990, in DAL
    raise RuntimeError, "%s (tried 5 times)" % exception
RuntimeError: unable to open database file (tried 5 times)
</code>

I realize that web2py does not create the "databases" folder for the "test" app,
Then I created manually that folder "mkdir databases", and everything works well.

Why web2py does not create that folder?

tks

'python web2py.py -S test -P' works for me and creates a databases
folder. Perhaps it's a permissions issue with ~/web2py?

My version is 1.83.1 (stable) on Ubuntu 10.04, yours?

because you used hg to deploy and hg does not version control empty
folder. I just fixed it in trunk by adding an empty file in there.
