AppEngine Team, I just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate a couple things you did:
1) I updated my app.yaml to skip some files by copying the skip rules from another project I have. In that other project, I skip .txt files, but in this project I use .txt files. When I ran in the dev environment, I suddenly started getting errors like: TemplateDoesNotExist: meetingNotice.txt But the file was there. YOU CLEVER DOGS put in logic to ignore files in the skip_files list when running in the dev environment. Brilliant! 2) I had to upgrade my schema in a big way. The site is a town government open meeting posting service. Each board, meeting, location, etc., was associated with a "Town". Then, it turned out that some external agencies needed to post their meetings to multiple towns at the same time. That means that all the models that had a "town" attribute needed a "towns" attribute. Having been through schema changes in SQL, I dreaded having to change every GQL query from an "=" to an "IN", but it turns out that I didn't need to. I just added a List attribute "towns" to replace the old "town" attribute. And the syntax for IN is "="! Weird, but great. Refactoring an attribute from being a single to being a list is really easy in GAE. Much easier than I expected, anyway. -Joshua -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
