Cannot run Hello World on Google App Engine Windows
google-app-engine, python, python-2.7
Solution
According to the regex that isn't matching, the app name needs to be lowercase:
>>> regex = r'^(?:(?:[a-z\d\-]{1,100}\~)?(?:(?!\-)[a-z\d\-\.]{1,100}:)?(?!-)[a-z\d\-]{0,99}[a-z\d])$'
>>> print(re.match(regex, 'HelloWorld'))
None
>>> print(re.match(regex, 'helloworld'))
<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x13ac308>
Problem
I have downaloded and installed Python 2.7.6 in my Windows and I have also installed the latest version of the GAE SDK for Windows as well. I have the following configurations on my GAE: I am running an Hello World project with the following files: Main.py ``` import webapp2 class MainHandler(webapp2.RequestHandler): def get(self): self.response.write('Hello world!') app = webapp2.WSGIApplication([('/', MainHandler)], debug=True) ``` app.yaml ``` application: HelloWorld version: 1 runtime: python27 api_version: 1 threadsafe: yes handlers: - url: /favicon\.ico static_files: favicon.ico upload: favicon\.ico - url: .* script: main.app libraries: - name: webapp2 version: "2.5.2" ``` However, When I click the button Run, in order to runt he project, I get the following errors in the LOG output: ``` 2013-12-04 14:51:49 Running command: "['C:\\Python27\\pythonw.exe', 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\google_appengine\\dev_appserver.py', '--skip_sdk_update_check=yes', '--port=8080', '--admin_port=8000', 'D:\\Users\\pedro\\Desktop\\HelloWorld']" Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\google_appengine\dev_appserver.py", line 197, in <module> _run_file(__file__, globals()) File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\google_appengine\dev_appserver.py", line 193, in _run_file execfile(script_path, globals_) File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\google_appengine\google\appengine\tools\devappserver2\devappserver2.py", line 872, in <module> main() File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\google_appengine\google\appengine\tools\devappserver2\devappserver2.py", line 865, in main dev_server.start(options) File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\google_appengine\google\appengine\tools\devappserver2\devappserver2.py", line 657, in start options.yaml_files) File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\google_appengine\google\appengine\tools\devappserver2\application_configuration.py", line 549, in __init__ module_configuration = ModuleConfiguration(yaml_path) File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\google_appengine\google\appengine\tools\devappserver2\application_configuration.py", line 82, in __init__ self._yaml_path) File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\google_appengine\google\appengine\tools\devappserver2\application_configuration.py", line 266, in _parse_configuration return appinfo_includes.ParseAndReturnIncludePaths(f) File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\google_appengine\google\appengine\api\appinfo_includes.py", line 63, in ParseAndReturnIncludePaths appyaml = appinfo.LoadSingleAppInfo(appinfo_file) File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\google_appengine\google\appengine\api\appinfo.py", line 1756, in LoadSingleAppInfo listener.Parse(app_info) File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\google_appengine\google\appengine\api\yaml_listener.py", line 226, in Parse self._HandleEvents(self._GenerateEventParameters(stream, loader_class)) File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\google_appengine\google\appengine\api\yaml_listener.py", line 177, in _HandleEvents raise yaml_errors.EventError(e, event_object) google.appengine.api.yaml_errors.EventError: Unable to assign value 'HelloWorld' to attribute 'application': Value 'HelloWorld' for application does not match expression '^(?:(?:[a-z\d\-]{1,100}\~)?(?:(?!\-)[a-z\d\-\.]{1,100}:)?(?!-)[a-z\d\-]{0,99}[a-z\d])$' in "D:\Users\pedro\Desktop\HelloWorld\app.yaml", line 1, column 14 2013-12-04 14:51:50 (Process exited with code 1) ``` Thus I have the following questoins: - I have created this project by going to File -> New application, but apparently my auto-generated app.yaml file is incorrect. What am I doing wrong? - I have tried to use Python 3.3 first, but it was not working. GAE only works with Python 2.7 right? I am doing everythign correctly right? - When I click the Browse button I get the error saying that no browser is specified. How do I fix that? Thanks for any help if possible :S
