Hi Elliott,
I have been able to narrow down the problem. There is a mismatch
between the app URL with a defined service name and the cron job "host"
used.
I can explain it as follows:
if you have an app.yaml file such as this:
runtime: python38
handlers:
# This configures Google App Engine to serve the files in the app's static
# directory.
- url: /static
static_dir: static/
# This handler routes all requests not caught above to your main app. It is
# required when static routes are defined, but can be omitted (along with
# the entire handlers section) when there are no static files defined.
- url: /.*
script: auto
#END OF APP.YAML
-------------------------
and a cron.yaml file that looks like this:
cron:
- description: "Example cron job"
url: /myjob/
schedule: every 2 minutes
#END OF CRON.YAML
The App Engine cron job will make a request to the "resource": "/myjob/"
and "host": "projectid.ew.r.appspot.com"
as seen in the protoPayLoad in the log file for the app on the App Engine.
This works fine as the app url is "projectid.ew.r.appspot.com"
If you give the app a service name such as service1 in the app.yaml file by
adding:
service: service1
and then target that service in the cron.yaml file which looks like this:
cron:
- description: "Example cron job"
url: /myjob/
schedule: every 2 minutes
target: service1
Then, the app is deployed to service1-dot-projectid.ew.r.appspot.com
But the cron job uses a "resource":/myjob/ and "host": "
service1.projectid.ew.r.appspot.com"
There is a mismatch between the app url and the host the cron job uses. The
app has -dot- between the service and the project name
while the cron looks for service1.projectid.ew.r.appspot.com with just "."
instead of "-dot-"
What is the best way to ensure the cron job uses the right "host" URL?
Preferably "-dot-".
Regards
David
