No valid settings.py found

[Bridouz]

Hi again,

Assuming I created a virtualenv for Olm and that I want to create a Blog inside Blog

Blog directory looks like this :

. Blog/
├── src
│   ├── articles
├── theme
│   ├── static
│      ├── css
│      ├── js
│   ├── templates
│settings.py

(Olm)  Olm • olm Blog/
2018-04-10 17:12:26 [olm] Beginning static site generation
2018-04-10 17:12:26 [olm] No valid settings.py file found

settings.py

BASE_FOLDER = "Blog"
SOURCE_FOLDER = "{{BASE_FOLDER}}/src"
STATIC_FOLDER = "{{BASE_FOLDER}}/theme/static"
TEMPLATES_FOLDER = "{{BASE_FOLDER}}/theme/temmplates"
CSS_FOLDER = "{{BASE_FOLDER}}/theme/static/css"
JS_FOLDER = "{{BASE_FOLDER}}/theme/static/js"

The path parameter you pass to the olm command is where it will look for the settings.py so in your case it is looking at Blog/settings.py when your settings file is actually just at settings.py.

If you move the settings file into the Blog directory and then run olm Blog/ then it should pick it up.

Thanks for being the guinea pig on this :P

Haha, this is why there should be the quickstart command. And the documentation is not clear on this so I will fix that too.

The settings need to be in a dictionary called SETTINGS. So in your case:

SETTINGS = {
BASE_FOLDER:  "Blog",
SOURCE_FOLDER: "{{BASE_FOLDER}}/src",
STATIC_FOLDER: "{{BASE_FOLDER}}/theme/static",
TEMPLATES_FOLDER: "{{BASE_FOLDER}}/theme/temmplates",
CSS_FOLDER: "{{BASE_FOLDER}}/theme/static/css",
JS_FOLDER: "{{BASE_FOLDER}}/theme/static/js"
}

Sorry, this is my error again.

Because it is a python dictionary the keys need to be strings too. So:

SETTINGS = {
"BASE_FOLDER":  "Blog",
"SOURCE_FOLDER": "{{BASE_FOLDER}}/src",
"STATIC_FOLDER": "{{BASE_FOLDER}}/theme/static",
"TEMPLATES_FOLDER": "{{BASE_FOLDER}}/theme/temmplates",
"CSS_FOLDER": "{{BASE_FOLDER}}/theme/static/css",
"JS_FOLDER": "{{BASE_FOLDER}}/theme/static/js"
}
