Dear community,
I have a strange problem reading in request.args .
I was trying to implement the mechanism from the web2py book, chapter 29,
SQLFORM.grid where it says:
def manage():
table = request.args(0)
if not table in db.tables(): redirect(URL('error'))
grid = SQLFORM.grid(db[table],args=request.args[:1])
return locals()
and put that into controller remote.
I am always getting an error:
TypeError: 'in <string>' requires string as left operand, not NoneType
in the line
if not table in db.tables(): redirect(URL('error'))
because table was not assigned a value because request.args is always empty.
My URL looks like this:
https://hostname:3001/remote/manage/myarg
so I would expect table to get the value 'myarg'.
When I look into the full request, args is definitely empty. I only have
slashes and letters in my URL after the port number, no spaces, special
characters, nothing. Can anyone please help me and let me know what I am
doing wrong? I downloaded the stable version today, so it should all be in
order.
I have the following in routes.py to remove the app name:
routers = dict(
BASE=dict(
default_application='myapp',
root_static='favicon.ico'
),
)
logging = 'debug'
Thanks a lot and cheers,
Torben
