I have a Flask service built with connexion. The service is initialized in a function create_app() that is defined in the script src/group/application/my_service/api/app.py :
# app.py
def create_app():
arguments = {"url": "0.0.0.0"}
app = connexion.App(__name__, options={"swagger_ui": True})
app.add_api("openapi-spec.yml", arguments=arguments, strict_validation=True)
app.run(port=8080, debug=True)
In src/group/application/my_service/__main__.py, I import create_app and execute it:
# __main__.py
from group.application.my_service.api.app import create_app
create_app()
With this in place, I can successfully open the service with python :
python -m src.group.application.my_service
I would like now to use gunicorn instead. I am trying the following command
gunicorn -w 1 -b 0.0.0.0:8080 'src.group.application.my_service.api.app:create_app()'
but I am getting the following error message :

How can I successfully open the service with Gunicorn, and without having the warning message about the fact that I am in a development service (which is the root cause why I want to use gunicorn) ?
It turns out that the function creat_app() should return app instead of calling app.run()
I am running the 32-bit build of Ubuntu 18.04 and attempting to build a 32-bit Jenkins from the source.
It fails in the last stage (see below) because it cannot find a Linux x86 build of Nodejs. They don't make 32-bit versions for Linux anymore. I'm fine with that - I have downloaded the 14.15.4 Nodejs sources and built my own 32-bit version. How can I override the Jenkins maven build that is attempting to download a non-existent package directly from the Nodejs distribution site?
I have tried prepositioning my home-built node-14.15.4-linux-x86.tar.gz in the appropriate location, but the build is getting killed because the package does not exist on the website it is attempting to download from (404 - Not Found). If I could stop it trying to download or tell it to pull the .tar.gz package from the local filesystem, I think that should fix the problem. I haven't found anything online and maven configurations are completely foreign to me.

What I am missing ?
Update: 0115:
If you deploy the python app to web app for windows, you can install the python extension as below: Go to azure portal -> your app service -> Extensions -> Add -> choose extensions:
How do you deploy your flask app?
You can refer to the official doc for the deployment. I followed the doc, and can work well in azure with the site https://xxx.azurewebsites.net/home .
my code:
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)
#app.route("/home")
def home():
return "Hello World a nice day!"
after deploy to azure, the site works well:
I have the same tests, the same selenium-server-standalone (2.43.1) and chromedriver (2.10).
I have only functional tests (no unit tests).
My Chrome is at version 37. My OSX is at version 10.9.5. Java version is 1.7.0_51 (Java 7 update 67).
When I run tests a new Chrome instance is opened with an empty tab:
With intern 1.7.0 tests start in less then 10 seconds.
With intern 2.1.1 tests start in 55-60 seconds.
Selenium logs look like this (when run by intern 2.1.1):

I tried to use Selenium 2.42.2 with chromedriver 2.10 and chromedriver 2.9 but the results are similar.
Update 1
The same problem persist with OSX 10.10, Java 1.7.0_51 (Java 7 update 71), chromedriver 2.11 and Chrome 38.0.2125.104.
Update 2
I started looking at why there is such a big delay between HttpContext and ServletHandler startup. Debug shows that New random session seed takes that long time (5 sec). It seems that all errors that take longer time have time that is multiple of 5 (5 sec, 10 sec and 25 sec).
On other Unix systems this problem was solved by replacing /dev/random by /dev/urandom but on OSX there should be no difference between them. I tried feeding /dev/random with data while selenium was running but it didn't help.
Running with sudo gives the same result.
Specifying -Djava.security.egd=file:///dev/urandom gives the same result.
Update 3
On a new machine problem disappeared. And as I have no more the old machine - the answer will remain a mystery.
The only thing that I think could be different between these machines is JDK.
I ran into this issue on macOS Sierra when using selenium-standalone-server 2.42.2 and chromedriver 2.25. I tried several version combinations of the two while using java version 1.8.0_91 to no avail.
The issue was resolved by reverting to a previous version of java, java version 1.8.0_45. Not the best solution, so I'm using http://www.jenv.be/ to go back and forth when I need to. This does not identify the issue's root cause but I hope this workaround helps someone, took me a while to find it.
