I have exhausted searching the web for this task --> Properly terminate flask web app running in a thread
I have even written a smaller version of my original code but cant seem to terminate flask thread,
when I have this code, all threads start then gracefully exit:
def thrdCode1(arg):
for i in range(arg):
print("running")
sleep(1)
if __name__ == "__main__":
ngrokSetup()
thrdH = Thread(target=thrdCode1, args=(2,))
thrdH.deman = True
thrdH.start()
print("1---")
thrdH.join()
print("thread finished...exiting")
However when thread is with flask app.run, my thread starts but it never exits I even tried exit(-1)
def thrdCode2(arg):
app.secret_key = 'my Top Secret'
app.run(use_reloader=False)
if __name__ == "__main__":
ngrokSetup()
thrdH = Thread(target=thrdCode1, args=(2,))
thrdH.deman = True
thrdH.start()
print("1---")
thrdH.join()
print("thread finished...exiting")
I even tried exit(-1) at end
