I need help in implementing a simple cron job in GAE (python).
According to what I understood from appengine documentation, I made a file
cron.yaml in the application root directory with the following content:
cron:
- description: blah blah
url: /crontask
schedule: every 1 minute
And my app.yaml file has the following content:
application: template-123
version: 1
runtime: python27
api_version: 1
threadsafe: true
handlers:
- url: /.*
script: template-123.app
I made all my application code (cron and other parts) into a single file
"template-123.py". In the code I implement cron in the following way:
class CronTask(Handler):
def post(self):
i=25
number = Birthday(day = i)
number.put()
And I tell the code to use this class for cron by stating: ('/crontask',
CronTask).
However no new entries are uploaded to the datastore (as I believe they
should be). And I know that it isn't a problem with the way I'm accessing
the data store because when I try to do the same thing manually (upload
entries to the data store in my non-cron part of application) it returns
with appropriate results.
So I need some guidance as to what might I be doing wrong or missing? Do
have to make some more changes to the yaml files or add some other
libraries or files (i think i read somewhere about cron.xml file but it
wasn't mentioned in the documentation..) etc?
