appengine: NewContext passed an unknown http.Request about golang-samples HOT 7 CLOSED

I get the error appengine: NewContext passed an unknown http.Request and the app crashes when I pass in a new *http.Request into log.Errorf (where log is from the package google.golang.org/appengine/log.

In some functions, the request variable isn't available, so when I want to log something with the appengine/log.log function the entire app fails. This even happens in production (not just on the local server).

BTW this is happening on Standard Environment.

Please help fix this soon! And thanks in advance.

appengine.NewContext isn't necessary for App Engine flexible.

I suggest using: r.Context() instead. This gives you a context scoped to the request. That is, it's cancelled if the client goes away or the connection drops.

Use context.Background() for anything else.

That said, that function call shouldn't panic, it's a bug. I'll file it over at https://github.com/golang/appengine.

You're the real MVP. Many thanks

@dchenk can you paste some code?

specifically, your import paths (the relevant ones at least), your call to log.Errorf and the relevant lines around it.

@dchenk the issue you're describing was just reported here golang/appengine#85
We'll track this issue there.
Thanks for your report.

I am seeing the issue while trying to get appengine context for using memcache as memcache requires appengine context.
