Google App Engine Launcher takes forever to start when launched behind a proxy server

up vote 9 down vote favorite 6

I've been tinkering with the GAE and I enjoy the ease of use of the GAE Launcher that is available with the Windows SDK. My problem is that when I start the application, it takes it a long time to become responsive. I assume that this is because the program first checks for updates before starting the app. This causes it to hang, while it's waiting for a response. This is a problem because my primary dev machine is behind a proxy server. Is there a way that I can disable the check for updates to the GAE when I start the launcher? Maybe a command that I can pass to the underlying executable through my shortcut? Thanks in advance. python  windows  google-app-engine share | improve this question edited Nov 20 '12 at 16:44 asked  Jun 24 '11 at 13:04 RLH 4,514 4 43 92

Try clearing your development datastore (if that's feasible in your case). –   Kevin P  Jun 24 '11 at 15:53  My datastore is clear. To be sure, the hanging takes place when I double-click on the launcher application icon-- not when I try to start a project. –   RLH  Jun 24 '11 at 17:03 add a comment

Google App Engine (GAE) use the python urllib2 library to check for updates. This library gets the proxy settings from *_proxy environment variables, instead of the windows registry. By default, ProxyHandler uses the environment variables named <scheme>_proxy, where <scheme> is the URL scheme involved. For example, the http_proxy environment variable is read to obtain the HTTP proxy’s URL. If you need to use a proxy and don't have this variable properly defined, your GAE Launcher will lock until a connection timeout, delaying the start of the program. If you create a new environment variable called http_proxy with host_or_ip:port, GAE Launcher will start in a blink of an eye. To define an environment variable, go to: Control Panel -> System and Security -> System -> Advanced system settings -> Advanced Tab -> Environment Variables... share | improve this answer edited Nov 7 '13 at 16:18 answered  Mar 30 '12 at 14:03 KurzedMetal 4,530 9 25

Aha, Brilliant! This worked exactly as you stated. This has been annoying me for years. –   RLH  Mar 30 '12 at 14:13 Haha, i'm glad i helped :D, actually surlac's solution worked for me, but i didn't like changing the source code, besides, my solution will fix other python applications and self-written code. –   KurzedMetal  Mar 30 '12 at 14:21 add a comment

Make sure all your GAE-java/python processes are shutted down before you fork new ones. It's very often that they stuck and consume processor time and memory after you hit CTRL+C. [EDIT] To disable updates run the server with --disable_update_check option. Usage: <dev-appserver> [options] <war directory> [EDIT] Open dev_appserver.cmd script from GAE SDK with your favorite text processor and manually add --disable_update_check option right after DevAppServerMain definition. java -cp "%~dp0\..\lib\appengine-tools-api.jar" ^ com.google.appengine.tools.KickStart ^ com.google.appengine.tools.development.DevAppServerMain --disable_update_check %* Next time you'll run an application from the GAE Launcher, it will start with "--disable_update_check" option automatically. [EDIT] For Python: open python source code at [GAE_SDK_PY]/google/appengine/tools/dev_appserver_main.py with your favorite text processor, find a 227-th line, it looks like ARG_SKIP_SDK_UPDATE_CHECK: False, and overwrite it with following: ARG_SKIP_SDK_UPDATE_CHECK: True, Hope this helps. share | improve this answer edited Jun 27 '11 at 20:09 answered  Jun 25 '11 at 20:25 Ruslan Sharifullin 1,435 9 14

That would work if I was running the server from a console window. Passing the --disable_update_check option to the App Engine Launcher does not help. There may not be a way to fix this problem. I can accept that, however, this issue is a bit annoying. –   RLH  Jun 27 '11 at 12:28 To work around this issue you need to manually edit "dev_appserver.cmd" script as described in the answer. –  Ruslan Sharifullin  Jun 27 '11 at 16:15 Ah, I see. Is there a python equivalent? –   RLH  Jun 27 '11 at 16:29 You need to update dev_appserver_main.py according to my answer. –   Ruslan Sharifullin  Jun 27 '11 at 20:10 Thanks for your response. That has fixed the dev server, but the launcher still hangs when I start it. I'm marking this response as the answer because I'm assuming that the real problem must come from another issue. Thanks for your help. –   RLH  Jun 27 '11 at 20:52 show 1 more comment
