Run App Engine development server with modules in PyCharm

Since the latest release of the Google App Engine Python SDK, it's possible to use modules. I have a Python application with a default module and another module. To start the module in the development server, the development server has to be run like this:

dev_appserver.py app.yaml othermodule.yaml

When I add app.yaml othermodule.yaml to "Additional options" in the Run/Debug configuration of PyCharm and then run the development server, I get the following error message:

google.appengine.tools.devappserver2.errors.InvalidAppConfigError: "." is a directory and a yaml configuration file is required

This is because PyCharm adds a dot at the end of the command to run the development server, like this:

dev_appserver.py app.yaml othermodule.yaml .

Is it possible to remove the dot, or do I have to wait until this is fixed in PyCharm? Before there were modules, there was no need for this.

You can go around this for the time being by just creating a new Run Configuration. Chose Python configuration, then fill like this:

  • script: /path/to/your/dev_appserver.py
  • script parameters: dispatch.yaml module1.yaml module2.yaml
  • working directory: /path/to/your/appengine/project

It works just fine like this for me. The dispatcher is launching properly and I've got all the logs like before in PyCharm.
