I am doing this using Django / GAE / Python environment:

cron:
    #run events every 12 hours

and

def events(request):
    # read all records 
    # Do some processing on a few records

   return http.HTTPResponseGone('Some Records are modified' )

Result in production : Job runs on time with 'failed' message However, it has done the job exactly on the datastore as required No error log entry seen Dev : No errors ; returns the message 'Some Records are modified'

Is it possible to avoid HTTP Response returned ? There is no need for HTTPResponse for me, however, I have kept this as Dev server testing fails in its absence. Can some one help me to make the code clean?

Gone is error 410. You should return 200 Success if the operation succeeds. When you return HttpResponse, the default status is 200.

  • Is it possible to completely remove the return statement. In a cron job, it is not making any sense. I have kept this for the sake of matching with request ? – Sharma Anil Nov 27 '10 at 09:05
  • @Sharma, App Engine cron jobs are just HTTP requests, and every HTTP request needs a HTTP response. – Matthew Flaschen Nov 27 '10 at 09:11
  • Thanks. I understand the change I need to make would be return http.HTTPResponse(). Will give a try and see what happen in production – Sharma Anil Nov 27 '10 at 09:28
