How do I load .pyhtml templates?

[William04A]

This may sound like a silly question - and it probably is, because I should have been able to get this to work by now.

I want/need to include a .pyhtml file in the application I am making. I looked in the source code, and the PyHTML extension should automatically send and render the template when I go to a page with the name of my PyHTML and .pyhtml in the end, correct?

So, if I have a file named "page.pyhtml", I should simply be able to visit /page.pyhtml? Because, that gives me a 404 error.

I have initialized the PyHTML addon and I have enabled debugging, but I did not get any output from the debugger.

Hello @William04A, For your first question, yes, it's right, you can try that in the demo. If you have the 404 not found error, it's because the server doesn't found the pyhtml file on physical path. Can you try the demo and check if the ...../test.pyhtml works please? (files must be in www folder by default).

[William04A]

I didn't realize the www folder... of course! But, I put two files in that folder: -page.pyhtml and -test.html

192.168.4.1/test.html - Returns 200 192.168.4.1/page.pyhtml - Returns 404

So I think that the path is no longer the issue.

[jczic]

Hello, Could you send me your code (main and page.pythml)? It's maybe a root path problem.

[William04A]

I am using your server for a product and cannot, therefore, disclose any code.

[jczic]

Ok, I understand and I thank you for that. But just, could you try the demo on your platform and check the test.pyhtml page who must be works because if the module is loaded, I don't understand why you got a not found error for the pyhtml file only...

I've been getting some similar (but different) difficulties while trying to use pyhtml templates.

When RootPath is set to 'www', using a pyhtml template as the NotFoundUrl causes any request without a route to return a 403 Forbidden error, rather than redirecting to the pyhtml file. Only attempting the route /www/ will return the redirect.

Using a pyhtml file in AddDefaultPage also seems to cause 403 Forbidden on requests without a route.

Here's my code (/www/index.pyhtml exists on the device):

from MicroWebSrv2 import *
mws2 = MicroWebSrv2()
mws2.SetEmbeddedConfig()
pyhtmlTemplateMod = MicroWebSrv2.LoadModule('PyhtmlTemplate')
pyhtmlTemplateMod.ShowDebug = True
mws2.RootPath = "www"
mws2.NotFoundURL = "index.pyhtml"
mws2.StartManaged()

Here's the results of requests:

192.168.4.1/ -> 403 Forbidden 192.168.4.1/www/ -> 307 Temporary Redirect (to 192.168.4.1/index.pyhtml) 192.168.4.1/index.pyhtml -> 200 OK (loads properly)

If I try to use AddDefaultPage instead of NotFoundURL:

from MicroWebSrv2 import *
mws2 = MicroWebSrv2()
mws2.SetEmbeddedConfig()
pyhtmlTemplateMod = MicroWebSrv2.LoadModule('PyhtmlTemplate')
pyhtmlTemplateMod.ShowDebug = True
mws2.RootPath = "www"
mws2.AddDefaultPage('index.pyhtml')
mws2.StartManaged()

192.168.4.1/ -> 403 Forbidden 192.168.4.1/www/ -> 404 Not Found 192.168.4.1/index.pyhtml -> 200 OK (loads properly)

If I use an html file (test.html so as to not be caught by default configs) instead of a pyhtml file, then both NotFoundURL and AddDefaultPage work as expected where:

192.168.4.1/ -> 200 OK 192.168.4.1/www/ -> 307 temporary redirect (if using NotFoundURL, else 404) 192.168.4.1/test.html -> 200 OK

[jczic]

Hello @echolocation, Ok your results are normal because modules (like pyhtml) are not called for a default page :

• RootPath is the physical root path, so 192.168.4.1/www doesn't exists and is redirected if NotFoundURL is present.
• 192.168.4.1/ is the root directory and 403 is returned if no html default page is present. If you really want that '/' processes a .pythml file, you must to handle '/' route and return a redirect to the .pythml file yourself. In effect, modules are processed before http routes and are not called for a specific file extension but when the request starts.

[bareynol]

That explains a lot, thank you!

Absolutely, I am doing that and getting back ASAP.

Running the demo and visiting /test.pyhtml gives me a 307 Temporary Redirect to the index page. I assume that is not expected...?

The example seems to 307 everything for me...

[jczic]

Ok I see and I don't understand why the first /style.css returns OK. Could you try to test files manually with the os.stat function like :

from os import stat
print(stat('/'))
print(stat('/www'))
print(stat('/www/style.css'))
print(stat('/www/pdf.png'))

There seems to be a problem reading the file size in the returned tuple. Thank you for your help to solve it :)

I could not get to pdf.png for some reason, but it is under www/pdf.png on my device.

I am using a PyCom WiPy.

If I can help out with anything, tell me and I'll provide what you need.

[jczic]

Hmm, it seem that you have a problem with files... Do you have FTP access to check all files and folders? Maybe a chmod (right) problem? Note: style.css is a text file but no pdf.png. I have a WiPy too without this type of bug. Ensure that all files are correctly copied... You must have the same error if you enter stat("www/blabla.bla") right?

I am looking for some help trying to get the .pyhtml templates to load. I have read over everything I could find with no luck. With this configuration, it will 'download' the file to my machine '[200] OK' but won't render. What am I doing wrong?

I am trying to get the /testpy.pyhtml to load:

######################################## @WebRoute(GET, '/test') def RequestTest(microWebSrv2, request) : request.Response.ReturnOkJSON({ 'ClientAddr' : request.UserAddress, 'Accept' : request.Accept, 'UserAgent' : request.UserAgent })

@WebRoute(GET, '/testpy') def OnRequest(microWebSrv2, request) : request.Response.ReturnFile('/test.pyhtml') pass

mws2 = MicroWebSrv2() mws2.SetEmbeddedConfig() pyhtmlTemplateMod = MicroWebSrv2.LoadModule('PyhtmlTemplate') pyhtmlTemplateMod.ShowDebug = True mws2.RootPath = "/"

mws2.ConnQueueCapacity = 8

mws2._slotsCount = 4

mws2.BufferSlotsCount = 10

mws2.BufferSlotSize = 1024 mws2.KeepAllocBufferSlots = True mws2.MaxRequestContentLength = 16*1024 mws2.StartManaged()

Main program loop until keyboard interrupt,

try : while True : sleep(1) except KeyboardInterrupt : mws2.Stop()

[interconnectix]

Ok I got it figured out for anyone else that might come across this problem...

@WebRoute(GET, '/testpy') def OnRequest(microWebSrv2, request) : request.Response.ReturnRedirect('/test.pyhtml') pass

mws2 = MicroWebSrv2() mws2.SetEmbeddedConfig() pyhtmlTemplateMod = MicroWebSrv2.LoadModule('PyhtmlTemplate') pyhtmlTemplateMod.ShowDebug = True mws2.RootPath = "/"

mws2.ConnQueueCapacity = 8

mws2._slotsCount = 4

mws2.BufferSlotsCount = 10

mws2.BufferSlotSize = 1024 mws2.KeepAllocBufferSlots = True mws2.MaxRequestContentLength = 16*1024 mws2.StartManaged()

try : while True : sleep(1) except KeyboardInterrupt : mws2.Stop()

[jczic]

Hi @interconnectix, indeed, ReturnFile(...) returns a file as a response but not a page to process. The .pyhtml files are processed automatically when they correspond directly to a route. If you want to manually return a .pyhtml file yourself, you would have to directly call the function of the module that processes the file to transcribe it into content and then return that content.

[interconnectix]

Hi @jczic, what would you recommend then for code to call the function directly? I am currently using a redirect using routes.

[jczic]

And using the routes is the normal and easiest way :) Only if you have special needs it can be useful to process the pyhtml content directly.
