Splunk ImportError while installing Web Framework Tookit to create a bubble chart in app

[koshyk]

Hi
I was following instructions as per "Web Framework Tookit" instructions to create a bubble chart into one of my app. When I follow the instructions, I'm getting error as below when I open "Web Framework Tookit"

Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: No module named mySampleApp

The instructions were to:

When the toolkit is installed:
reference components in the toolkit

When the Web Framework Toolkit is
installed on the same Splunk instance
as your app, you can reference the
toolkit components from your app by
loading the component libraries
directly from the toolkit. Just
require the component library using a
relative path such as
"splunk_wftoolkit/components/component_name/component_name".
And, be sure to verify that the latest
version of the toolkit is deployed on
the server.

Any ideas how to fix the error?
Also how to access the newly generated views in mySampleApp?

Hi,

First, you should try to create your own view following the instructions when the Web Framework Toolkit is installed in your Splunk instance, this is easier to start and will prevent you from running in this issue. (you probably forgot something when importing components, check step by step and compare with the Web framework toolkit)

Then, when your view will work, you'll follow these instructions to incorporate the components within your App.

Have you prepared your App for django ?

http://dev.splunk.com/view/web-framework/SP-CAAAER6

From the section "The Web Framework from zero to 60
"

In your App directory already exist (a standard App), what i do is moving temporarily the App to any temp location, creating the App following this guide, then moving the django directory in my original app, deleting the one created by these instructions and moving back the normal app to its original place with now django dir included

Django views you will created in your apps will be accessible like:

http://myserver:8000/dj/en-us/myapp/mydjview/

I think I found the error. As you mentioned, the app needs to be created via framework. A normal app would cause error. Cheers
