Replit Deployment Guide is not working anymore

Description

I followed the Replit deployment guide but it didn't work out.

Code example to reproduce the issue:

https://flet.dev/docs/guides/python/deploying-web-app/hosting-providers/replit

Describe the results you received:

When I finally try to run the application the console it gives me the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 1, in <module>
    import flet as ft
  File "/home/runner/TestFlet/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/flet/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    from flet.flet import FLET_APP, FLET_APP_HIDDEN, WEB_BROWSER, app, app_async
  File "/home/runner/TestFlet/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/flet/flet.py", line 4, in <module>
    import flet_js
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'flet_js'

Describe the results you expected:

The website should run without errors.

Issue with replit was raised recently. #1189

As mentioned in the thread, @FeodorFitsner will certainly have a look at it sometime soon.

[FeodorFitsner]

@TheM0zart Are you running it in Replit phone app as well?

[TheM0zart]

@TheM0zart Are you running it in Replit phone app as well?

No, I ran it via Chrome browser (Win10).

[TheM0zart]

I tried again with the newest flet version 0.5.0 but it still doesn't work.
Now there is no error message, no output at all. It seems to load forever.

I am wonder if this issue affects everyone or seems to be specific to me and a few other users?

[FeodorFitsner]

Will be looking into that.

So, I'm trying Replit for a simple Flet app and I clearly don't understand what's going on.

1. I'm creating a new replit from Python template, go to "Packages" and install "flet" package. All nice,pyproject.toml looks good, nothing unusual:

2. Typing a minimal Flet program:

3. Hit "Run" and a wonder happens - out of nowhere it's installing flet-pyodide package:

4. Obviously, it won't work as flet-pyodide is intended to work in the browser:

5. pyproject.toml has this:

Does it looks like a Replit issue?

[FeodorFitsner]

Reported a bug on Replit: https://ask.replit.com/t/python-repl-loads-an-incorrect-package/20069

[FeodorFitsner]

OK, the solution is disabling "package auto-guessing" feature in .replit file.

1. Create new repl from Python template.

2. Enable hidden files in "Files" pane:

3. Set packager.features.guessImports to false (more info):

4. Go to "Packages" and install flet package.

5. Type your program. Run. Enjoy!

Finally, thank you so much! I replicated the steps in the updated guide and can confirm it works now! 😃

I have set the file of . replit with

[packager]
language = "python3"

[packager.features]
enabledForHosting = false
packageSearch = true
guessImports = false

But when I run, It still execute “--> poetry add flet-pyodide....“, and report the error "No module named flet_js"
