I'm trying to use appcfg.py to upload to localhost/Google App Engine. I've basically been following these instructions word for word, but now I'm having trouble.
Here is the command I'm trying:
appcfg.py upload_data --app-id=appname --config_file="path\to\ItemLoader.py" --filename="path\to\data.csv" --kind=Item --url=http://localhost:8080/remote_api <path\to\app>
I get back:
The syntax of this command is incorrect.
What am I doing wrong?
UPDATE: Looks like I'm not actually supposed to include the < > chars around the path to the app. Now I'm getting an error:
appcfg.py: error: no such option: --app-id
UPDATE 2: I took out the --app-id parameter, and now another error:
appcfg.py: error: Expected <directory> argument
So... I do need the brackets?
UPDATE 3: Ok, it accepts the commands with quotes instead of brackets. But the development console at http://localhost:8080/_ah/admin/datastore shows that the Datastore is still empty. The following error was reported:
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: `path\\to\\google\\SDK\\bulkloader-log-20100301.200921'
UPDATE 4: It appears that it was a permissions error with my file system. I granted a bunch of permissions, and now it is complaining about the referenced scripts instead.
