No entrypoint file found && failed to create new program: No such project

[serdarakyol]

Hello, I just discovered DETA. I was trying to follow the FastAPI documentation. Created an account, installed deta cli, and login successfully. But I failed on the deta new command. I had 2 situation

First situation

I have the folder structure as below

When I run deta new, I got No entrypoint file found in '/path/sabiduria-tool'. Please, provide a name or path to create a new micro elsewhere. See "deta new --help".' error.

Second situation

Changed folder structure as below

And got this error: Error: failed to create new program: No such project

Here is my main file

from fastapi import FastAPI

from sabiduria_tool_api.core.config import API_PREFIX, APP_NAME, APP_VERSION, IS_DEBUG
from sabiduria_tool_api.core.event_handler import start_app_handler, stop_app_handler
from sabiduria_tool_api.api.routes.router_sabiduria_tool import router

def get_app() -> FastAPI:
    fast_app = FastAPI(title=APP_NAME, version=APP_VERSION, debug=IS_DEBUG)
    fast_app.include_router(router, prefix=API_PREFIX)

    fast_app.add_event_handler("startup", start_app_handler(fast_app))
    fast_app.add_event_handler("shutdown", stop_app_handler(fast_app))

    return fast_app


app = get_app()

I used the app variable as the documentation mentioned. Can anyone tell me what is wrong here, please?

If path is not an empty directory and does not have an entrypoint file (either main.py or index.js) a name must be provided, under which deta will create a micro with a starter app.

So your first situation showed No entrypoint file found in '/path/sabiduria-tool'. Please, provide a name or path to create a new micro elsewhere. See "deta new --help".' cause it's missing the entrypoint file (main.py) in the root /path/sabiduria-tool/ path. In your case you need to run deta new in the /path/sabiduria-tool/sabiduria_tool_api directory.

And for the second situation iirc new users need to create their first project at deta dashboard after creating an account.

I have tested that before. When I run deta new inside the /path/sabiduria-tool/sabiduria_tool_api, I am getting Error: failed to create new program: No such project error.
When I run inside /path/sabiduria-tool, then I am getting No entrypoint file found in '/path/sabiduria-tool'. Please, provide a name or path to create a new micro elsewhere. See "deta new --help".'

As I said before;

And for the second situation iirc new users need to create their first project at deta dashboard after creating an account.

Can you try this once and check if your first project is created or not.

Oh my bad. You were right. I thought deta new will create that automatically.
