Well you are in fact asking to setup a fake request (as you want tg.request) and that's exactly what `/_test_vars` is for.
The fact that you rely on WebTest to trigger such endpoint is just for convenience, as far as you have access to a turbogears application you can tell the application to preserve a context (WebTest just wraps the Application). TurboGears provides a context manager that provides a fake context whenever you are inside it http://turbogears.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/classes.html#tg.util.webtest.test_context but for the same convenience reasons it depends on WebTest. By the way you don't need to create TestApp every time, you can set it up once and just get the `/_test_vars` whenever you need a turbogears context in current thread. I can easily modify test_context to not need WebTest if that's a major issue, but it will still require an app for which to setup the context as it's pretty hard to setup the context for an application without an application :D On Fri, Jan 20, 2017 at 1:22 PM, Ítalo Rossi <[email protected]> wrote: > +1 > > I also want to know how to accomplish this outside the request/response > life cycle. > > We have a few daemons that use ours util/libs/models and we had the same > problem with i18n. > > > > > > On Fri, Jan 20, 2017 at 8:55 AM, damien accorsi < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> Hi Alessandro, hi all, >> >> I come to you about an issue I'm facing on tracim development. >> Tracim is based on turbogears for all web stuff, it also includes wsgidav >> running through cherrypy in some daemon threads. >> >> The problem I'm facing is that I need to access tg context from requests >> managed by wsgidav (so the code is executed in threads managed by cherrypy, >> running on a daemon thread) >> >> I get the same error as explained on the documentation about gearbox >> command line operations : http://turbogears.readthedocs. >> io/en/latest/turbogears/gearbox.html?highlight=context# >> running-scripts-from-command-line >> >> TypeError: No object (name: context) has been registered for this thread >> >> >> I get exactly the same error.
