File and image uploads broken if using google appengine sdk 1.9.x

Hello,

We have problems uploading images and files if we switch to the 1.9.x appengine sdk versions. The request handling code just does not get any FILES.

I could simulate the same error using sdk 1.8.9 when using the webob 1.1.1 library. Using the webob 0.9 version with the newer sdk does not seem to solve the problem, and is actually not supported by appengine as well.

Please help.

Can you provide any more information on this issue? Its hard to diagnose based on what you've posted so far.

Hi Alex,

We have a webshop working on django / appengine version 1.8.9

One of the models we defined had an image field, and is maintained by the
normal django admin forms.

When we run the site with SDK 1.8.9 it works perfectly, we can upload
images and they are stored correctly.

When we run the site with SDK 1.9.4 the image uploads fail.

I tried to debug, and what I found is that it probably is due to the newer
webob versions which are pushed starting from SDK 1.9.1

When I tried running the site with SDK 1.8.9 and configure webob 1.1, I get
the same problem.

I hope this helps.

I have used django in some projects, but I ain't an expert.

Regards,

Geert

What happens when you run this in production? Does it work? The production appengine service always uses the latest version of the SDK.

Also, do you see an error message or exception when the upload fails?

Adding Samaa.

In production it seems to work.

The error we get, is that we did not supply a file, while we clearly did.

I'm not sure I can provide much help based on those details. If you could provide an exception or trace through the code in some way to find where you think the error is, then I might be able to give you more help.

Also, is this an issue with webob or with djangoappengine?

I might be running into the same issue: request.FILES is an empty dict after POST'ing a form that includes a file upload (SDK 1.9.17). My investigations are ongoing.
