I have an issue with app factories in Flask. This is my tree: . ├── Pipfile ├── app │ ├── Dockerfile │ ├── __init__.py │ ├── blueprints │ │ ├── __init__.py │ │ ├── auth │ │ │ └── __init__.py │ │ └── accounts │ │ ├── __init__.py │ │ ├── models.py │ ├── config.py │ ├── enums.py │ ├── extensions.py │ ├── helpers │ │ ├── __init__.py │ │ ├── auth.py │ ├── repositories │ │ ├── __init__.py │ │ ├── accounts.py ├── client_secrets.json ├── instance │ ├── app.db ├── requirements.txt └── run.py in app.py/__init__.py I have this: from flask import Flask from .config import Config from .blueprints import register_blueprints from .extensions import register_extensions import app.config def create_app(config_object=config.ProdConfig): app = Flask(__name__) app.config.from_object(config_object) with app.app_context(): register_extensions(app) register_blueprints(app) return app Inside my accounts blueprint I imported a Class called AccountRepository (an interface ontop of the accounts model, to make CRUD operations), like so: from app.repositories.accounts import AccountRepository So when people access the create endpoint for e.g, I do AccountRepository.create_account(x,y,z) However, I get an out of context error, because some values are coming from the config as defaults: def create_account(name, max_plays=current_app.config["DEFAULT_MAX_PLAY"]): RuntimeError: Working outside of application context. This typically means that you attempted to use functionality that needed the current application. To solve this, set up an application context with app.app_context(). See the documentation for more information. Just to make things clear: the error happens when I try accessing the config from the repository file.. App factory registers the accounts BP -> Account BP imports the account repo -> account repo tries reading from app config (ERROR) Why does it happen? I'm registering BPs using app context and I'm referencing it using current_app.. Thx! Continue reading...
