Gotchas

There are a number of "gotchas" to keep in mind on the willet-referrals platform.

App Configuration

There are a few notes regarding app configuration.

App YAML

app.yaml

With Google App Engine (GAE), the basic information to control your app is stored in the app.yaml file in the base of the repository. Because the app.yaml specifies the GAE "Application Name" that you will push to when you deploy your code, each developer usually wants to maintain their own app.yaml file. As such, app.yaml is included in the .gitignore.

For a basic app.yaml please see README in the base of the repository.

App Consts

util/consts.py

This file contains all the application constants, such as API keys or debug flags.

Development App Consts

util/local_consts.py

Because a developer may want to test some local settings (such as setting the DOMAIN to be their development environment) but we don't want them changing util/consts.py and accidentally deploying their development settings, we recommend you create util/local_consts.py in your local branch. It will be automatically included by util/consts.py
