This code used to work and has since become deprecated.

It is now giving an error" "jinja2.exceptions.UndefinedError: 'forms.SignupForm object' has no attribute 'hidden_tag'".

I have been researching and can't seem to identify what has changed. Can anyone help?

**forms.py**
from flask_wtf import Form
from wtforms import StringField, PasswordField, SubmitField
from wtforms.validators import DataRequired, Email, Length

class SignupForm(Form):
  first_name = StringField('First name', validators=[DataRequired("Please enter your first name.")])
  last_name = StringField('Last name', validators=[DataRequired("Please enter your last name.")])
  email = StringField('Email', validators=[DataRequired("Please enter your email address."), Email("Please enter your email address.")])
  password = PasswordField('Password', validators=[DataRequired("Please enter a password."), Length(min=6, message="Passwords must be 6 characters or more.")])
  submit = SubmitField('Sign up')

class LoginForm(Form):
  email = StringField('Email', validators=[DataRequired("Please enter your email address."), Email("Please enter your email address.")])
  password = PasswordField('Password', validators=[DataRequired("Please enter a password.")])
  submit = SubmitField("Sign in")

class AddressForm(Form):
  address = StringField('Address', validators=[DataRequired("Please enter an address.")])
  submit = SubmitField("Search")

I tried a few of the fixes on stackoverflow. None have worked.

CodePudding user response：

You code looks fine except for the Form Object, try to change the import line to:

from flask_wtf import FlaskForm

in you form classes inherit from FaskForm instead of the Form class. In order to generate the csrf token, you must have a secret key, this is usually the same as your Flask app secret key. If you want to use another secret key, config it:
