I am making flask app, the steps which i followed are

1. made a directory and opened it
2. made a virtual env using the command python -m venv env
3. activated the virtual environment using env\Scripts\Activate.
4. used command set FLASK_APP-new_app.py
5. tried running using command flask run

the app is running well when i tried the demo helloworld, but made some changes in it which goes like this

new_app.py

from flask import *
from flask_sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy

from datetime import datetime

}
app.config['SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI'] = 'postgresql://%(user)s:\
%(pw)s@%(host)s:%(port)s/%(db)s' % POSTGRES
app.debug=True
db= SQLAlchemy(app)


class sms(db.Model):

    matchdate= re.search(r'\d{2}-\d{2}-\d{2}', stringtemp)
    matchtime= re.search(r'\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}', stringtemp)
    finaldate=matchdate.group()
    finaldate=datetime.strptime(finaldate,'%d-%m-%y').strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
    finaltime=matchtime.group()
    finaltime = datetime.strptime(finaltime,'%H:%M:%S').time()

    print(finaldate,finaltime)

    msg= sms(latitude=latitude,longitude=longitude,date_of_fire=finaldate,fire_start_time=finaltime)
    db.session.add(msg)
    db.session.commit()

    return jsonify(smsdata)

An error was thrown which is like this

 * Serving Flask app 'new_app' (lazy loading)
 * Environment: production
   WARNING: This is a development server. Do not use it in a production deployment.

Try 'python -m flask run --help' for help.

Error: While importing 'new_app', an ImportError was raised.

Can someone help me out with this.

CodePudding user response：

You have a simple typo, from the looks of it.

'set FLASK_APP-new_app.py' should be 'set FLASK_APP=new_app.py'.

Try that.
