I'm trying to build a flask app where I can upload a JSON file. I followed the official flask tutorials; this is my code:
import os
from flask import Flask, flash, request, render_template, url_for
from flask_restful import Resource, Api
from flask_uploads import UploadSet, configure_uploads, DATA
app = Flask(__name__)
app.config['UPLOADED_FILES_DEST'] = os.getcwd()
file = UploadSet('SecretKey', DATA)
configure_uploads(app, file)
@app.route('/')
def my_form():
return render_template('upload.html')
@app.route('/checkUpload', methods=['POST'])
def my_form_post():
if request.method == 'POST' and 'file' in request.files:
keyFile = file.save( request.files['keyfile'] )
# ...
My directory structure looks like this: folder - >
app.py
templates - > uploads.html
When I run the application , I get this error:
RuntimeError: no destination for set SecretKey
I understand that I need to set a destination to the file that's being uploaded, but I can't figure out how to properly do that; I can't understand why the way I'm currently setting the destination directory is wrong. Ideally, I don't want to store this file anywhere, I just want to take this file, check some credentials from it and then start a session if the credentials are valid. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you for your time in advance.
P.S: Please ignore the spacing of the code , and I've also looked into some other SO questions related to these:
but they didn't exactly had the same issue as I did, so I'm creating a new thread.
