When I click "Create" on the user page, the app crashes. This happens on both localhost and PythonAnywhere.com

Python version 2.7 (I used Python 3.5 on PythonAnywhere, same issue)

Operating system Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS

The error message in the browser UndefinedError: 'flask_admin.contrib.sqla.form.UserForm object' has no attribute 'name'

The error message that is logged on the command line UndefinedError: 'flask_admin.contrib.sqla.form.UserForm object' has no attribute 'name'

I spent a bit of time trying to figure out how the Read the Docs are generated so that I could make a PR. The system requirements for Ubuntu list a package that does not exist. sqlite-dev does not exist. I used this command to search for possible packages. apt-cache search sqlite

This might be the correct package sudo apt install libsqlite3-dev

Taking the quickstart for a spin with Python 3 and hitting this issue -- possibly related to #15.

From the generated etc/conf/dev.conf:

SECRET_KEY = ""H\xf9\xc7\xb9\xe6\xcb\xd3\xd7?\x19\xde\xd3Ry\xe9wI6\xcc'q2\xc3N"

The issue is in bin/flask-diamond:

    secret_str = repr(os.urandom(24).replace(b"\"", b"#").replace(b"%", b"#"))[1:-1]

Looking at the repr result in Python 2, so the [1:-1] slice makes sense:

>>> repr(os.urandom(24).replace(b"\"", b"#").replace(b"%", b"#"))
"'\\xcc\\xc5\\x14\\xe6\\xfc7Q\\xf8\\x98\\x83\\xa3\\xf0sk\\xd5\\xfd\\xac\\xce\\\\\\x8f\\xf0\\xb4\\x93\\xd4'"

Using the slice method Python 3 we see that it would need to be [2:-1]:

>>> repr(os.urandom(24).replace(b"\"", b"#").replace(b"%", b"#"))
'b"\\x89\\xd95\\xe3\\xc2\\x00\\xd2\\xfb>R\\x91\\xec\\xd2\'\\x87\\x94\\xd5\\x92F\\xfc@J\\xf1r"'

But rather than setting up a conditional for the slice, maybe it would be better if we got away from byte conversion and did something like:

import string
import random

chars = string.ascii_letters + string.digits + string.punctuation
secret_str = ''.join([random.choice(chars) for x in range(24)])

Fixed with on #26 to develop (w/ bump #25 ) or #27 to master

When generating random secrets, these sometimes contain escape characters that cause mr.bob quoting to be off-by-one.

• One solution is to ensure proper escaping
• another solution is to completely remove escape characters from keys
• other solutions might exist too

There is an issue whereby modules that depend on a non-module file within the project's directory hierarchy, doesn't respect the relative path to access it.

My fix so far has been, inside of every module that loads a file, you dynamically declare the module path, and then os.path.join it with the filepath:

    MODULE_PATH = os.path.split(os.path.realpath(__file__))[0]
    ...
    f = open(os.path.join(MODULE_PATH, "my_directory/myfile.txt", "r")

Maybe we can find or create a solution that works all the time without this boilerplate?

I'm having issues calling models.CRUDMixin.update() because of this:

I've also confirmed and fixed this bug in Dodecahedron: updated update method and test code

This library is quite dead as it uses a lot of old deprecated/removed features and throws a lot of errors on usage.

Are there any plans to revive this? I would love to help bring it back to life, but my experience with python and flask is quite limited so I may not be the best person to restructure/update this old library.

Getting this error when: following installation instructions, scaffolding a new flask-diamond application, logging in as [email protected]

Hi. This is my first try with Flask-Diamond. After setting up (following the tutorial) while testing, I get the following error message when accessing the page Admin -> User -> Create tab:

jinja2.exceptions.UndefinedError UndefinedError: 'flask_admin.contrib.sqla.form.UserForm object' has no attribute 'name'.

It appears that python 3.6 eliminates socketserver.ForkingMixIn on platforms like windows which do not support the forking model. There is a fix for this in version 0.11.15. I am using werkzeug version 0.12.2 and it seems ok with python 3.6.1 on windows 10 pro.

Hello, I am new to flask, flask-sqlalchemy, and flask-diamond. My use case is that I would like to use flask-diamond to setup flask and sqlalchemy so that I can use my sqlalchemy database both as part of a web application and from my library and script codes outside of the web application.

In the flask-alchemy documentation, it sounds like one needs to initialize sqlAlchemy's init_app and then create an application context (http://flask-sqlalchemy.pocoo.org/2.1/contexts/). It is not clear to me how much of this is already being done for me in flask-diamond. Can you clarify?

Here is a template, assuming my flask-diamond application is myapplication. It appears to work, so I am guessing that I already have a context to work with.

Can you clarify?

Update

I've traced back through the Diamond code and it looks like, I had things wrong before. To set up to access my flask-diamond database from an outside library or script, I need to do:

# if flask-diamond has scaffolded out a new custom app called myapplication
# SETTINGS needs to be already set either in the environment (or via os.environ['SETTINGS'])
import myapplication
app = myapplication.create_app()

with app.app_context():
    do_stuff_with_app

If others agree this is correct, I can write this up as documentation if there is a place for recipies or how to information.

For example:

• flask-admin==1.1.0 (Current: 1.4.2)
• wtforms==1.0.5 (Current: 2.1)

I understand locking these in your own dev environments perhaps, but does your code REALLY not work with libraries as much as a full major version more recent?

That seems like a flask-diamond problem that scares me.

Thoughts?
