I'm very much a beginner at developing a flask app. I've been following the tutorial at http://blog.pythonanywhere.com/121/, as I am developing this app on PythonAnywhere. I don't get an error, but when I submit info on the add_lesson page, it redirects to my home page. When I check my mysql table, it's empty.
Here's the code:
from flask import Flask, redirect, render_template, request, url_for
from flask_sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy
app = Flask(__name__)
app.config["DEBUG"] = True
SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = "mysql+mysqlconnector://{username}:{password}@{hostname}/{databasename}".format(username="[MYUSERNAME]", password="[PASSWORD]",
hostname="cobbmic.mysql.pythonanywhere-services.com", databasename="cobbmic$JimBSite",)
app.config["SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI"] = SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI
app.config["SQLALCHEMY_POOL_RECYCLE"] = 299
db = SQLAlchemy(app)
class Lessons(db.Model):
__tablename__ = "lessons"
id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
url = db.Column(db.String(150))
title = db.Column(db.String(80))
series = db.Column(db.String(80))
date = db.Column(db.Date())
desc = db.Column(db.String(4096))
@app.route('/', methods=["GET","POST"])
def index():
return render_template("index.html")
...
@app.route('/add_lesson', methods=["GET","POST"])
def add_lesson():
if request.method == "GET":
return render_template("add_lesson.html")
lesson = Lessons(url=request.form["inputURL"], title=request.form["inputTitle"], series=request.form["inputSeries"], date=request.form["inputDate"], desc=request.form["inputDesc"])
db.session.add(lesson)
db.session.commit()
return redirect(url_for('add_lesson'))
Anyone know what mistake I've made?
