bear !tell aaronpk I think I found the magic pixie dust to make the travis-ci GAE deploy work
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
scoates and [aaronpk] joined the channel
#
[aaronpk] Oh? I am curious to try it!
#
Loqi [aaronpk]: bear left you a message 7 minutes ago: I think I found the magic pixie dust to make the travis-ci GAE deploy work http://indiewebcamp.com/irc/2015-10-16/line/1445040096785
#
bear [aaronpk] - I wrote up some initial notes here: https://gist.github.com/bear/2990bce3e42f430fd44f
#
snarfed woo!
#
bear it was a rough slog - found the vital clue by figuring out how travis is doing gae, finding that github repo and then reading issues and PRs
#
bear and all that was after a lot of "hmm, what about *this*" attempts
#
aaronpk wow
#
bear and guess which API is not listed in the API list that the dev console shows...
#
bear I bet you can't guess...
#
aaronpk wait...
#
aaronpk wtf
#
aaronpk there are more APIs than what is listed there?!
#
bear oh yea
#
bear 100s
#
aaronpk oh god
#
aaronpk if I had known that I would have searched for "App Engine" a long time ago
#
bear that console only shows the stable ones
#
aaronpk good lord
#
bear yea, right!?! I would have been typing in appengine or app engine or ??? in the search box after a couple attempts
scor joined the channel
#
aaronpk here it goes...
#
bear anyways - I created a test gae python app for this https://github.com/bear/gae-deploy-test
#
bear and I can add you to the gae project if you need to compare things
#
bear and this is the commit that I found the clue we needed -- https://github.com/flowlo/dpl/commit/b3970422633157fb66d4868fc8095803dca7a411
#
bear so this will eventually make it into the docs for travis-ci and gae...
#
aaronpk yeah that seems like a key component to this process that should go in the docs i was reading
#
aaronpk oh great now i'm getting a weird error that appears to be from google
#
bear yuck, that seems to be a php gae specific issue
#
aaronpk it's a problem with this library http://htmlpurifier.org/
#
aaronpk it's like it's trying to copy two files with the same name over to cloud storage
#
bear that would explain the map key error - that's s3-style bucket lingo
tantek joined the channel
#
aaronpk that was my clue
#
bear you would think the composer tool would solve that (that is if composer does what I think it does)
#
aaronpk well it looks like Cloud Storage is doing some weird mappings to handle files with capital letters
#
bear ohhh
#
bear that's always a messy thing
#
aaronpk it might be working now
#
aaronpk it's taking a long time
#
bear yea, that was my first clue it may have worked - gcloud commands are *slow*
#
aaronpk it's unfortunate that it has to push up a whole bunch of files from all the libraries that are never used, like all the tests for all the libraries
#
snarfed aaronpk: you can use a skip_files: clause in app.yaml to prevent that
#
bear you could almost make that a pre-deploy cleanup
#
snarfed e.g. https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/blob/master/app.yaml#L138
#
aaronpk oh
#
bear ah - right - just have it ignore whole dirs
#
aaronpk hmm I wonder if "tests" would work
#
bear chuckles at the RCS in that regex list
minsky joined the channel
#
bear wanders over to see what is for dinner
#
aaronpk i sure hope it doesn't have to do this ever ytime
#
bear it does
#
bear tho maybe it's faster if the files already exist
#
bear i'll pop on later to see how it went
#
bear o/

kevinmarks well, that was some personal nerd-swiping
snarfed joined the channel
#
ben_thatmustbeme You nerd swiped yourself?
#
GWG What is nerd swiping?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "nerd swiping" yet. Would you like to create it? https://indiewebcamp.com/s/1051

[snarfed] sniping
#
finchd-also nerd-swiper no swiping
#
kevinmarks I built a storycard viewer to save having to edit the html by hand
#
aaronpk omg
#
aaronpk i think it deployed
#
aaronpk now i'm confused. it didn't copy any of the "vendor/" folder
#
kevinmarks https://github.com/ampproject/amphtml/issues/657#issuecomment-148875503
#
aaronpk nice
#
kevinmarks heh, that should parse your example
#
kevinmarks though it didn't have a real image or a summary: http://www.unmung.com/storycard?url=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2Faaronpk%2Famphtml%2F5ad9189707f91c034b09ad28c54ac896acd315a5%2Fexamples%2Farticle-metadata%2Fmicroformats.amp.html
#
aaronpk well i'm thoroughly stumped again. appengine previously failed because it was uploading the whole vendor folder and there was some weird stuff in it. now it's failing because it's *not* uploading any of that folder
#
[snarfed] silly q: it's not matching any of the skip_files patterns, right?
#
[snarfed] could it have uploaded, and your php code just can't find it?
#
aaronpk i don't think so
#
aaronpk I did have this uploaded successfully from my laptop
#
aaronpk and all i've changed since then is the app.yml and travis files
#
aaronpk (no skip files are defined)
#
[snarfed] OK
#
aaronpk travis is clearly installing the libraries since the tests are passing
#
[snarfed] you have to tell it about the vendor dir specifically in python: https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/tools/libraries27#vendoring
#
[snarfed] right, OK
strugee joined the channel
#
[snarfed] and if it runs ok in dev_appserver, then yeah it may be the upload
#
aaronpk yeah it runs fine in dev_appserver *and* it runs fine on app engine when I upload from my laptop
#
[snarfed] got it
#
[snarfed] is vendor maybe a symlink on Travis?
#
kylewm kevinmarks++ very neat demo with the microformats cards

#
ben_thatmustbeme huh, my archive section has posts for January 1970
#
ben_thatmustbeme i think the dates are messed up there
#
kevinmarks sounds like unix 0
#
kevinmarks on the mac it used to be 1904
#
ben_thatmustbeme yeah, its stored in mysql which natively stores unix time
#
ben_thatmustbeme it was my mp endpoint, i just checked if 'published' was set, not that it wasn't empty
#
kevinmarks what are storycards?
#

kevinmarks storycards are the 'related articels' previews often shown at the bottom of pages by publishers. They usually conisist of a featured image, a headline and link. Author and published date information may also be shown.
