Question

I have all static files same directory as my app.yaml

Now, I have to specific the static files one by one in my app.yaml

application: xxx
version: 1
runtime: python
api_version: 1

handlers:
- url: /
  static_files: index.html
  upload: index.html

- url: /style.css
  static_files: style.css
  upload: style.css

- url: /android.png
  static_files: android.png
  upload: android.png

- url: /logo.png
  static_files: logo.png
  upload: logo.png

- url: /helloworld.py
  script: helloworld.py

Is there any easier way for me to specific all my static files? (Provide they are same directory level as app.yaml)

I try

- url: /
  static_files: index.html
  static_dir: \.
  upload: index.html

It won’t work.

Fatal error when loading application configuration:
Unexpected attribute "static_dir" for mapping type static_files.
  in "C:\Projects\xxx-website\app.yaml", line 12, column 1

Answer 1

As others suggested you can put your files in the static folder and have an app.yaml that looks like this (so you don’t have to enter manually every file):

You can also specific handlers at the top like:

- url: /counter
  script: counter.app

- url: /(.*\.rar)
  script: download.app
