I just updated my Wooey install to today's new version and immediately hit a problem. Any script I try to run returns an error (with live updating, which is wonderful!) and in the Celery worker window I get the following message:

I tried downgrading my Celery install from 3.1.23, first to 3.1.15 then to 3.1.12 (which is what I had before the Wooey upgrade) to no avail. Do you have any suggestions?

Installing latest wooey on Python 3.4.3 on Win7 65bit, without previous install of django, installed django 1.9. Running wooify -p test caused this error:

Installing django 1.8 (pip install django==1.8) fixed it (albeit giving a different error, I'll look into it and open a different issue if needed).

Hi ,

I still have problem with WOOEY_JOB_EXPIRATION parameter. I set this to:

user_job_expire=timedelta(hours=1) anonymous_job_expire=timedelta(minutes=10)

WOOEY_JOB_EXPIRATION = {'user':user_job_expire,'anonymous':anonymous_job_expire}

But no success. Please help me to fix

How can I import my custom files?
I need to use my files inside the script.
print(os.path.dirname(sys.argv[0])) gives me /opt/DO_wooey/media/wooey_scripts, I decided to put my custom files in this directory, but it does not work, the script still gives me this error: OSError: SavedModel file does not exist at: test_build/{saved_model.pbtxt|saved_model.pb}.

This addresses an issue raised in #43. It creates a new scheme for script urls and versions and adds in a dropdown box for the user to select older scripts.

Running wooify -p test produces:

To begin process of adding working i18n these files add base translations from the current strings. They are machine translated using Google's service (https://translate.google.com/toolkit/) and so likely broken.

The NL looks vaguely right to my limited knowledge but I will check them all with native speakers.

I want to custom the templates, so I add the string "os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')," into the DIRS list of settings.TEMPLATES, then I copy the templates directory to my project. I can custom the templates successfully, but get the following errors when I execute the task: 10:54:49 web.1 | Internal Server Error: /scripts/violinplot/ 10:54:49 web.1 | Traceback (most recent call last): 10:54:49 web.1 | File "/home/xujm/soft/Anaconda/anaconda3/envs/wooey/lib/python3.5/site-packages/django/utils/datastructures.py", line 83, in getitem 10:54:49 web.1 | list_ = super(MultiValueDict, self).getitem(key) 10:54:49 web.1 | KeyError: 'wooey_type' 10:54:49 web.1 | 10:54:49 web.1 | During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: 10:54:49 web.1 | 10:54:49 web.1 | Traceback (most recent call last): 10:54:49 web.1 | File "/home/xujm/soft/Anaconda/anaconda3/envs/wooey/lib/python3.5/site-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 149, in get_response 10:54:49 web.1 | response = self.process_exception_by_middleware(e, request) 10:54:49 web.1 | File "/home/xujm/soft/Anaconda/anaconda3/envs/wooey/lib/python3.5/site-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 147, in get_response 10:54:49 web.1 | response = wrapped_callback(request, *callback_args, **callback_kwargs) 10:54:49 web.1 | File "/home/xujm/soft/Anaconda/anaconda3/envs/wooey/lib/python3.5/site-packages/django/views/generic/base.py", line 68, in view 10:54:49 web.1 | return self.dispatch(request, *args, **kwargs) 10:54:49 web.1 | File "/home/xujm/soft/Anaconda/anaconda3/envs/wooey/lib/python3.5/site-packages/django/views/generic/base.py", line 88, in dispatch 10:54:49 web.1 | return handler(request, *args, **kwargs) 10:54:49 web.1 | File "/home/xujm/soft/Anaconda/anaconda3/envs/wooey/lib/python3.5/site-packages/wooey/views/views.py", line 160, in post 10:54:49 web.1 | data = super(WooeyScriptView, self).post(*args, **kwargs) 10:54:49 web.1 | File "/home/xujm/soft/Anaconda/anaconda3/envs/wooey/lib/python3.5/site-packages/wooey/views/views.py", line 91, in post 10:54:49 web.1 | form = utils.get_master_form(pk=post['wooey_type']) 10:54:49 web.1 | File "/home/xujm/soft/Anaconda/anaconda3/envs/wooey/lib/python3.5/site-packages/django/utils/datastructures.py", line 85, in getitem 10:54:49 web.1 | raise MultiValueDictKeyError(repr(key)) 10:54:49 web.1 | django.utils.datastructures.MultiValueDictKeyError: "'wooey_type'"

Hey guys, I have an argument that looks like this:

main_options_group.add_argument('--my_optional_arg', default=False, action='store_true')

This is correctly stored as a ScriptParameters object when I tick the checkbox in the Wooey interface. However when Celery executes the command it does not include --my_optional_arg in the command that is executed.

Looking at the source, it seems that param.get_subprocess_value() does not return a "value" for the param, causing the condition in the "if" statement on line 79 of utils.py to fail and ultimately preventing the param from being output correctly.

See my pdb log below. You can see that after executing line 78 "subproc_value" is None, despite param.value being True

(Pdb) l
 73             if subproc_dict is None:
 74                 continue
 75             subproc_param = subproc_dict['parameter']
 76             if subproc_param not in param_dict:
 77                 param_dict[subproc_param] = []
 78  ->         subproc_value = subproc_dict.get('value', None)
 79             if subproc_value:
 80                 param_dict[subproc_param].append(subproc_value)
 81         for param, values in param_dict.items():
 82             for value in values:
 83                 if param:
(Pdb) n
> .../wooey/backend/utils.py(79)get_job_commands()
-> if subproc_value:
(Pdb) subproc_value
(Pdb) param._value
u'true'
(Pdb) param.value
True
(Pdb) param.get_subprocess_value()
{u'parameter': u'--my_optional_arg'}

Please, show working example of useing it. How must I set my settings for the realtime update of the script output? I see only one result after end of my script.

Hi, as someone new to Django I've been trying to use Wooey as a front end to several testing scripts. Unfortunately, running them without Celery seems to block everything and crash and I can't manage to get Celery running. As per the documentation (I'm on Windows), I've been running

python manage.py celery beat
python manage.py celery worker -c 1 -l info
python manage.py runserver

but the celery worker process never really starts. The relevant error seems to be:

[2016-06-22 13:53:35,522: INFO/Worker-1] child process 7068 calling self.run()
[2016-06-22 13:53:35,663: ERROR/Worker-1] Process Worker-1
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\{path}\Programs\Python\Python35-32\lib\site-packages\kombu\utils\__init__.py", line 323, in __get__
    return obj.__dict__[self.__name__]
KeyError: 'backend'

Then a series of cascading errors, then something like Process 'Worker-14' pid:4992 exited with 'exitcode 1'. I have spent a lot of time trying to google the source of the problem, but I am too new to Django and Celery to figure this out. Is there something I should have done, that is so basic it isn't in the docs?

Alternately, the scripts we are trying to run with Wooey seem to work perfectly fine with Celery flagged as false, as long as we take the threading out of them (which is used to send and receive data through a serial port). Will getting Celery running solve this problem or is this too far away from the intended usage of Wooey?

I ran into some questions not covered in the documentation. Through the issues here and, trial and error I managed to figure it out. My plan was to add some information to the docs for other users. However, it seems that the docs on readthedocs are not the same as here on Github and I also can´t build the docs myself through Sphinx. Is there perhaps an issue with the setup of the docs?

Dear developper

I have a problem. I was using wooey on ubuntu 20.04 and python3.8 and it was working perfectly. However, last week i update ubuntu and python and now it is not working anymore. the problem is that i get error in the wooey web server but i can not find out any information about the error to try to debug.

can you please help me?

cheers Luigi

Was glad to see Wooey available on docker. https://hub.docker.com/u/wooey I downloaded the latest image and ran it , but it only executes the tests and then exists. What am i missing ?

I want to add some of my Scrapy based projects Wooey. As I can see only single script based project can be added in Wooey, so I want to know, is there any way to add Scrapy like project which have a file structure with multiple scripts?

A parser with a mutually exclusive argument group behaves pretty strangely. I've noted two problems:

• The arguments always end up as optional, even if the group is marked as required.
  • This is really the larger issue for me
• You can enter input for both and don't get an error until the script actually runs

Here's a small script recreating both issues:

import argparse
import sys

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(
    description="Parser with required mutually exclusive group."
)
parser.add_argument("--arg", type=str, required=True)

mutex_grp = parser.add_mutually_exclusive_group(required=True)
mutex_grp.add_argument("--first", action="store_true")
mutex_grp.add_argument("--second", action="store_true")


def main():
    args = parser.parse_args()
    print(args)
    return 0


if __name__ == "__main__":
    sys.exit(main())

I think Gooey has support for mutex groups, so maybe inspiration can be taken from there?

I've got a non-technical employee that needs access to Python scripts that we need to use to conduct our business. I've gotten Wooey working but one of the scripts breaks. I love this concept - my employee doesn't understand Python, Linux, or any other myriad of aspects involved with running this script. So, if I can get this working, it'll be awesome.

The script is called dnstwist.py (https://github.com/elceef/dnstwist/blob/master/dnstwist.py). In the Wooey console, it generates the following errors:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/ubuntu/twisty/twisty/user_uploads/wooey_scripts/dnstwist.py", line 1009, in main() File "/home/ubuntu/twisty/twisty/user_uploads/wooey_scripts/dnstwist.py", line 1003, in main p_cli(generate_cli(domains)) File "/home/ubuntu/twisty/twisty/user_uploads/wooey_scripts/dnstwist.py", line 120, in p_cli sys.stdout.write(data) UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 3628-3629: ordinal not in range(128)

I'm pretty sure it has to do with how the data is formatted in 3 columns in the output but I don't know how to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
