Sanic app not working on windows

Moving forward
#1

I am trying to run the basic sanic app on windows 10. But it is just stuck there showing this warning
sanic tried to use loop.add_signal_handler but it is not implemented on this platform

sanic - 19.12.2
python - 3.7.6 (anaconda env)

sanic help

#2

Did you install via?

set SANIC_NO_UVLOOP=true
set SANIC_NO_UJSON=true
pip install sanic

#3

@SpootDev Installed the way you mentioned. Now I am getting this error:

from aiofiles import open as open_async # type: ignore
ImportError: cannot import name 'open' from 'aiofiles' (unknown location)

#4

Update: aiofiles didn’t get installed properly. I copied the files manually to site-packages.
Now my error is:

import hstspreload
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'hstspreload'
#5

I had to manually download and copy aiofiles, hpack, hyperframe,h11, rfc3986, hstspreload to the site-packages folder. But back to the original problem:

sanic tried to use loop.add_signal_handler but it is not implemented on this platform

#6

A number of Windows bugs including this one is fixed in Sanic git master, to be released as 20.3 soon (I hope). I suppose that the fixes will need backporting to 19.12LTS as well but Windows support on that is low priority and I’m afraid it will take much longer.

If you are in a hurry, you can always

pip install git+https://github.com/huge-success/sanic.git

Please let me know ASAP if you find any issues with that so that we might still fix them prior to next release.

Now it’s working.

Also if this helps :-
It runs from anaconda prompt fine, but to run from spyder I had to downdrade to tornado 4.5.3.

I had tornado 6.0.4 installed and got this error while running from spyder:-

if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run(host="127.0.0.1", port=5000)

You cannot use app.run within IPython environment (like in Spyder’s integrated console). Choose in Spyder Run settings to start your app in a stand-alone terminal. Alternatively, you may use something like

await app.create_server(return_asyncio_server=True)

… if you must use ipython/spyder integrated console.
