Flask: Redirection not working
I ran your code. After fixing the code formatting it works as expected. Proper indentation is very important for python. Your html templates look fine at least I did not get any errors with them. However, you app.py should look like this:
from datetime import datetime
from logging import DEBUG
from flask import Flask, render_template, url_for, request, redirect
app = Flask(__name__)
app.logger.setLevel(DEBUG)
bookmarks = []
def store_bookmarks(url):
bookmarks.append(dict(
url=url,
user="rgen",
date=datetime.utcnow()
))
print('BOOKMARKS: ', bookmarks)
@app.route('/')
@app.route('/index')
def index():
# return "Hello World!"
return render_template('index.html')
@app.route('/add', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def add():
if request.method == "POST":
url = request.form['url']
store_bookmarks(url)
return redirect(url_for('index'))
return render_template('add.html')
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(debug=True)
And not like what you pasted in the question. Just delete everything in your app.py, paste the code I provided above, restart the server and see if it is working.
Also I would recommend you to set the debug option to True during development so that you don't need to restart the server automatically each time you change your code. Probably, you made corrections, but did not restart the server and this is why you thought the changes did not help. To enable debug add this as in my code:
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(debug=True)
Hope this helps.
