I have been following a pretty standard intro to python and flask, I'm new to flask but have a few months coding python.
The error I get is:
File "C:/Users/danny/PycharmProjects/learning_flask/venv/hello.py", line 26, in login session['username'] = request.form.get['username'] TypeError: 'method' object is not subscriptable 127.0.0.1 - - [11/May/2019 16:45:43] "POST /login HTTP/1.1" 500 -
I had this working, I think I made some changes to the templates and thats when it stopped working. I've looked through stacktrace and other sources for errors, itseemsto be saying there is a problem in the login @app.route (but not helped by course where code and templates work every time! If only the showed you some of the errors, if theres a site that does great - would love url).
import os
from flask import Flask, render_template, request, redirect, url_for, flash, make_response, session
app=Flask(__name__)
app.secret_key = "SuperSecretKey"
@app.route('/login', methods=['GET','POST'])
def login():
error = None
if request.method == 'POST':
if valid_login(request.form['username'], request.form['password']):
flash('Sucessfully logged in')
session['username'] = request.form.get['username']
return redirect(url_for('welcome'))
# return redirect(url_for('help'))
else:
error = "There was an error with either the username or password"
return render_template('login.html', error=error)
@app.route('/logout')
def logout():
session.pop('username', None)
return redirect(url_for('login'))
@app.route('/')
def welcome():
if username in session:
return render_template('welcome.html',
username=session['username'])
else:
return redirect(url_for('login'))
def valid_login(username, password):
if username == password:
return True
else:
return False
if __name__ == ('__main__'):
app.run()
app.debug=True
should load login page, but get server not found, and if successful allow me to get to welcome page, templates below I think they are ok tho'
