App Engine Python Modules and inbound mail service
I am using App Engine Modules in my python project. (https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/modules/#Python_Background_threads)
I am also receiving email in m project: https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/mail/receivingmail
I want to direct the emails to my worker module and not the default module. To that end my worker.yaml has the following settings
worker.yaml
api_version: 1
application: integrate
module: worker
version: 1-0-0
runtime: python27
threadsafe: true
inbound_services:
- mail
builtins:
- deferred: on
handlers:
- url: /admin/.+
script: src.worker.main.app
login: admin
- url: /_ah/mail/.+
script: src.worker.main.app
login: admin
- url: /.*
script: src.worker.main.app
app.yaml
api_version: 1
application: integrate
version: 1-0-0
runtime: python27
threadsafe: true
builtins:
- deferred: on
handlers:
- url: /admin/.+
script: src.default.main.app
login: admin
- url: /.*
script: src.default.main.app
I even tried adding a dispatch.yaml
application: integrate
dispatch:
- url: "*/_ah/mail/.+"
module: worker
But no matter what I do the emails which reach my app are handled by the default module. Any idea what I am missing here? I see the emails coming in but no matter what I do they only go to the default module.
Inbound services could be used only within default module and that is expected behavior. The fact that it works for you locally in devserver is a bug, actually.
Just some additional info for the answer which may help folks in a similar situation.
I noticed in the DevServer log:
"Skipping dispatch.yaml rules because /_ah/mail/[EMAIL_ADDRESS_FOR_APP] is not a dispatchable path."
This is no doubt due to local config, however.
Regardless, the workaround I have now using Tasks is:
