flask-tutorial (https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/3.0.x/tutorial/database/)

• activate your virtual environment (within flask-tutorial): . .venv/bin/activate
• start/run the app: flask --app flaskr run --debug
• initialize the db: flask --app flaskr init-db If having trouble running the app (and with stopping and rerunning it):
• lsof -i :5000 (to identify the process(s) using the needed port (5000))
• kill -9 [PID]

Study/Review

• PART 1: CREATE APP (init.py)
• PART 2: CREATE DB (db.py)
• PART 3: CREATE authorization BLUEPRINT (auth.py)
• PART 4: CREATE first VIEW (page) for REGISTRATION (auth.py)
• PART 5: Create view (page) for LOGIN (auth.py)
• PART 6: Create CSS stylesheet.css
• PART 7A: CREATE blog BLUEPRINT (blog.py)
• PART 7B: CREATE THE INDEX (wherre all the blog posts will be shown)
• PART 7C: CREATE AN INDEX.HTML
• PART 8A: CREATE VIEW (similar to the register view, but to create new posts instead of accounts)
• PART 8B: GET VIEW (get post. this function is used for UPDATE and DELETE functions)
• PART 8C: UPDATE VIEW
• PART 8D: DELETE VIEW

Testing with Pytest (terms: fixtures, factory, context)

• note: when running I had to first do 2 things first to fix the directories and let conftest.py find the flaskr module...
• . .venv/bin/activate
• export PYTHONPATH=.
• then run pytest (or pytest -v to get a list of each test function, or coverage report for a simple report)
