User Accounts with (Python 2.7 + Webapp2 + Google App Engine + Jinja + NDB + WTForms) - google-app-engine

Question

I have been racking my brain for weeks trying to get this authentication module to work under the webapp2 framework using Jinja, NDB and WTForms. I've looked online everywhere and have reached my breaking point and need to reach out to somebody for help. I've been following this tutorial (which is pretty thorough but I think leaves out some important details, especially for a newbie like me):
User Accounts with Webapp2 + Google App Engine
As far as I know I have everything setup correctly but I continually get a 404 - resources can not be found. What could I be doing wrong? Here is my code...

Answer 1

In your routes.py file, in the RedirectRoute you specify html files, while you should specify paths that are mapped to handler methods and inside them render the html templates.
For example, in your routes.py file you should have something like this:
_routes = [
RedirectRoute('/login', handlers.LoginHandler, name='login'),
RedirectRoute('/logout', handlers.LogoutHandler, name='logout'),
RedirectRoute('/index', handlers.IndexHandler, name='index'),
RedirectRoute('/signup', handlers.SignupHandler, name='signup')
]
You can take a look at Google App Engine Boilerplate for an introduction to Google App Engine development and best practices around it.
Hope this helps!
