Python API - Config file where the RAPP Platform IP was declared missing form devel branch about rapp-api

[athallas]

Additionally, when the ip address is replaced with a random, system just deadlocks and connection failure is not returned.

@klpanagi is this done? Where is the configuration file stored?

[etsardou]

Found it. Change rapp_platform_python_api folder to rapp_platform which already exists. Furthermore do we have to create the folder by hand or you have changed the setup scripts? Finally, a configuration file sample / template must exist somewhere.

You investigate this behavior because of the network configuration of the machine executing the calls. This is not an issue of the API implementation. TCP packets do not arrive at destination address (RAPP-Platform) thus no responses are ever received. You can explicitly tell to stop waiting for a response after a given number of seconds with the timeout parameter in RappPlatformService constructor (look here).

It has not been documented yet.
The rapp_platform_python_api directory was selected because rapp-platform-python-api is a client tool/library for accessing rapp-platform resources and those can be installed on different machines (also for package distribution purposes). Though i can prepare a patch for the configuration file to be placed under ~/.config/rapp_platform/.
Regarding the creation of the respective path and default configuration file, i will prepare a patch.
