POGAE: managing dev and production versions of my app
text
Body
copied!<p>There are a lot of things I need to do before uploading my production app to GAE. Its becoming very tedious and error-prone, and I would like to know some best-practice how to handle following requirements, and if some tools already exist for doing this: </p> <p>Dev and test environment on my local machine: want to use debug versions of my javascript files, Production: want to minify the files and also concatenate them into 1. E.g.: given this code in <code>mytemplate.html</code></p> <pre><code><script src="script1.js"></script> <script src="script2.js"></script> <script src="script3.js"></script> <script src="script4.js"></script> <script src="script5.js"></script> </code></pre> <p>Wanted: some process to automatically minify the files, concatenate them into 1, and edit the code above so that it becomes:</p> <pre><code><script src="mytemplate.js"></script> </code></pre> <p>Dev and test: use a <code>settings.dev.py</code><br> Production: use <code>settings.py</code> </p> <p>Some way to automatically switch to settings.py when pushing to production. i.e., I don't to manually edit all the py files and change all references to settings.dev.py to settings.py. Is a config file the recommended way to do this? I change a setting in my config.py file before pushing to production, and then the rest of the code picks up the right settings.py? Also, in python is the config file a .py file, or is it something else usually - i.e., what is the norm? (in .net we usually use xml for storing configurations)</p>
