Running PicoWeb Examples

[bitninja]

Hello,

I was wondering if someone could help me get the example apps for picoweb running on a Wemos D1 Mini. I am running a flash image with all the frozen modules necessary to run the notes-pico app. The notes app runs but I cannot get this example to completely work...

Code: Select all

#
# This is a picoweb example showing a web page route
# specification using view decorators (Flask style).
#
import picoweb

app = picoweb.WebApp(__name__)

@app.route("/")
def index(req, resp):
    yield from picoweb.start_response(resp)
    yield from resp.awrite("I can show you a table of <a href='squares'>squares</a>.")

@app.route("/squares")
def squares(req, resp):
    yield from picoweb.start_response(resp)
    yield from app.render_template(resp, "squares.tpl", (req,))

@app.route("/test")
def squares(req, resp):
    yield from picoweb.start_response(resp)
    yield from resp.awrite("Link to static content...<a href='/static/sample.html'>sample</a>.")

import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

app.run(debug=True,host="0.0.0.0")

When I invoke the "/squares" route I get something like this...

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 2, in <module>
  File "example2.py", line 28, in <module>
  File "picoweb/__init__.py", line 240, in run

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '__path__'

Thanks.

I have exactly the sample problem on an NodeMcu clone esp8266, The base context '/' works fine.

I have squares.tpl in a templates dir, from the top level dir, if I run:

Code: Select all

ldr = utemplate.source.Loader("templates", ".")
ldr.load('squares.tpl')

I get:

Code: Select all

<generator>

which I think indicates it has worked.

Fix it!

In example_webapp2.py I made the following change:

Code: Select all

# app = picoweb.WebApp(__name__)
app = picoweb.WebApp(None)

Then when I do at REPL prompt:

Code: Select all

import webapp

and hit /squares I get the correct response.

Great! Thanks for the fix.

@chrisb2 As it's a demo program it might be worth raising an issue.
