3,471 PointsIs there a special way to rendering of add.html?
I only have access to the route, /
, and the def index(name="Anders"):
function.
The route, /add/
, only displays Not Found in browser.
#simple_app.py
from flask import Flask
from flask import render_template
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/')
@app.route('/<name>')
def index(name="Anders"):
return "Hello {}".format(name)
@app.route('/add/<int:num1>/<int:num2>')
@app.route('/add/<float:num1>/<float:num2>')
@app.route('/add/<int:num1>/<float:num2>')
@app.route('/add/<float:num1>/<int:num2>')
def add(num1, num2):
return render_template("add.html")
app.run(debug=True, port=8000, host='0.0.0.0')
#add.html
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Adding!</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Num1 + num2 = Sum-thing!</h1>
</body>
</html>

, going to that URL will not match. By adding this route, the function add()
will be run. But this will bring up another error. Do you see it?
If the function add()
is reached through the route '/add/' then the parameters num1
and num2
will not be defined. One fix would be to add default parameter values for num1 and num2 in the add()
function signature definition.
Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!

3,471 PointsThanks Chris.
My
add
code with concepts from your revision:I see this error,
jinja2.exceptions.TemplateNotFound
, running the code above.The error is unexpected for me, since my code is, seemingly, identical to the one of Kenneth.
Cheers!
