Deploying Flask App in AWS Elastic Beanstalk

Question

when I deploy my flask app, it says successful but when I retrieve the logs, I see the error "Flask not found". I have flask in my requirements file. Any help.

Below is my application.py content

from flask import Flask
from myapp import create_app

application = create_app()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    application.run()

Below is the content of my requirements.txt

Click==7.0
-e git+https://github.com/xxxxxx/xxx.git@xxxx#egg=xxx
Flask==1.1.1
itsdangerous==1.1.0
Jinja2==2.10.3

Answer 1

can you try renaming the Flask object that you run to 'application':

from flask import Flask
application = Flask(__name__)
# run the app.
if __name__ == "__main__":
    application.run()

From the Amazon EB Docs:

Using application.py as the filename and providing a callable application object (the Flask object, in this case) allows AWS Elastic Beanstalk to easily find your application's code.

Answer 2

You should have application.py and the requirements.txt at the root of the folder. Your deployed zip file also should contain these two files at the root of the zip file. I have attached the reference shows how to download a deployed application bundle.

hope this helps.
