Hello everyone,
I am encountering an issue while deploying a Flask-based chatbot application to Google Cloud. The application runs perfectly fine locally but throws an ImportError when deployed to Google Cloud.
Environment:
- Runtime: Python 3.11 (as specified in app.yaml)
- Framework: Flask 2.3.3
- Deploying to: Google Cloud
Error Log: The error I am encountering is as follows:
2023-08-22 01:53:48 default[20230822t035216] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 500

Attempts to Resolve:
- Checked Python version consistency.
- Updated itsdangerous package.
- Updated Flask.
- Verified dependencies for compatibility.
- Tested locally using the same Python version as in app.yaml.
- Followed Google Cloud documentation for deploying Python applications.
- Rebuilt the virtual environment in Google Cloud with updated dependencies.
Unfortunately, none of the above steps resolved the issue. It seems that neither the dependency nor Python get updated.
Request for Help: I would greatly appreciate any insights or suggestions on how to resolve this ImportError. If anyone has encountered a similar issue or knows what might be causing this problem, please share your thoughts. I´m very new to programming in general so I apologize in advance if this is some very obvious error.
Thank you in advance for your assistance!
