I have read quite a bit of documentation and I can't see what is wrong with these lines
update_this = User.query.filter_by(email=email).first()
update_this.emailconfirmed = True
db.session.commit()
...and yet when I deploy the boolean column 'emailconfirmed' never is update to True. I have confirmed with print statements that update_this.emailconfirmed
is False at the exact point in the code shown above... I just can't seem to update that value. Does anybody know what tests I can do, what imports I should check etc. etc.
Right now this is the top of my main .py file where the above code appears
from flask import Flask, render_template, request, session, redirect, url_for, make_response
# the following line imports from models.py
from models import db, User
# the following line imports SignupForm from forms.py
from forms import SignupForm, LoginForm
from flask_mail import Mail, Message
from itsdangerous import URLSafeTimedSerializer
# Production (causes Heroku to redirect to SSL)
from flask_sslify import SSLify
from flask_sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy
import os
app = Flask(__name__)
sslify = SSLify(app)
sslify = SSLify(app, subdomains=True)
app.config.from_pyfile('config_file.cfg')
app.config['SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI'] = os.environ['DATABASE_URL']
db = SQLAlchemy(app)
mail = Mail(app)
ts = URLSafeTimedSerializer(app.config['SECRET_KEY'], salt=app.config['SALT'])
and this is my models.py file
from flask_sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy
from werkzeug import generate_password_hash, check_password_hash
db = SQLAlchemy()
class User(db.Model):
__tablename__ = 'users'
id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
firstname = db.Column(db.String(100))
lastname = db.Column(db.String(100))
role = db.Column(db.String(20))
roleapproved = db.Column(db.Boolean)
school = db.Column(db.String(100))
email = db.Column(db.String(120), unique=True)
emailconfirmed = db.Column(db.Boolean)
pwdhash = db.Column(db.String(100))
def __init__(self, firstname, lastname, role, school, email, password):
self.firstname = firstname.title()
self.lastname = lastname.title()
self.role = role.lower()
if role.lower() == 'student':
self.roleapproved = True
if role.lower() == 'teacher':
self.roleapproved = False
self.school = school.title()
self.email = email.lower()
self.set_password(password)
self.emailconfirmed = False
def set_password(self, password):
self.pwdhash = generate_password_hash(password)
def check_password(self, password):
return check_password_hash(self.pwdhash, password)
def __repr__(self):
return '<User {0}>'.format(self.email)
Any help on doing the update I mentioned above would be greatly appreciated!!
Ideally you want to maintain a single session throughout your application lifecycle. This way it makes it easy to reason about and you avoid binding sessions to individual models.
Thanks @Ilja Everila
In main.py
instead of initializing SQLAlchemy
you should write,
db.init_app(app)
Define a save
instance method for your User model.
def save(self): """Saves model object instance """ db.session.add(self) db.session.commit()
You can call this method to save the instance as
update_this.save()
Another way to update the entity is to get the specific object session before committing
from sqlachemy.orm import session ... session = session.object_session(update_this) session.commit()
