Hi,
I want to upload some of the images programmatically from file system, when
initializing the database. Not the actual file though, just normal upload
so that file stays in file system but it's accessible via database for
every user.
I tried something like this:
db.define_table('image',
Field('name'),
Field('file', 'upload')
)
FILES = [
['apple', 'apple.png'],
['dog', 'gog-image.png'],
...
]
if db(db.image.id>0).count() == 0:
for file in FILES:
filename = URL('static','images/files/{}'.format(file[1]))
stream = open(filename, 'rb')
db.image.insert(name=file[0], file=stream)
I'll get an error:
* <type 'exceptions.IOError'> [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'/example/static/images/files/apple.png'*
It looks like my path is broken and I should use os.path.join etc. to get
the whole path. But I couldn't make this work.
What is the correct way to set that path? For example, how it is done by
web2py since everything works normally if I upload those images via admin
interface? I'm working on Windows environment.
