flask-login

I have a sample web application (flask with flask-login running on heroku) at this URL: http://twittaclone.herokuapp.com . When I run it on my localhost the login functionality works fine. When I push to heroku it freaks out and does not allow users to login (it does allow user registration). Database modifications are being made. Why would flask login not work on heroku? app = Flask(__name__) mysql = MySQL() app.config['MYSQL_DATABASE_HOST'] = os.environ['MYSQL_DATABASE_HOST'] if 'MYSQL_DATABASE_HOST' in os.environ else config.MYSQL_DATABASE_HOST app.config['MYSQL_DATABASE_PORT'] = os.environ

I am trying to build a super simple web app for my own use. I'll be the only user, so I don't feel the need to involve a database for user management. I'm trying to use flask-login, but even though my call to login_user succeeds, I'm still met with a 401-Unauthorized page after the redirect to a page with @login_required . Here is the entirety of my app: from flask import Flask, render_template, request, flash, redirect, url_for from flask.ext.login import LoginManager, login_user, logout_user, current_user, login_required, UserMixin app = Flask(__name__, static_url_path="") app.secret_key = "

By default, Flask uses volatile sessions, which means the session cookie is set to expire when browser closes. In order to use permanent sessions, which will use a cookie with a defined expiration date, one should set session.permanent = True , as is mentioned in this question. , and the expiration date will be set based on config['PERMANENT_SESSION_LIFETIME'] . I am surprised that session lifetime is defined in config file, yet it is not possible to request the use of permanent sessions through configuration, such as a config['USE_PERMANENT_SESSION'] = True . But so be it. My question is: if

I'm using flask to do register and login: from flask.ext.security.views import register, login class Register(Resource): def post(self): return register() class Login(Resource): def post(self): return login() api.add_resource(Login, '/login') api.add_resource(Register, '/register') then I use py.test to test the class: class TestAPI: def test_survey(self, app): client = app.test_client() data = {'email': 'test@test', 'password': 'password'} rv = client.post('/2014-10-17/register', data=json.dumps(data)) ... when I ran the test, the error occurred as follow: AssertionError: Popped wrong request

I have 2 Flask apps (different projects) that work together . One implements some API which uses tokens for auth. The second one consumes the API and makes a web interface for it. Now I have a login function that sends the username and password to the API, and if correct, gets the auth token in return. Once I have the token, I save it to the session of the user and the user should now be considered as logged in/ autheticated. How can I implement the login_required decorator for such a case. Here is my login function - def login(self): response = make_request(BASE_URL + 'login/', clean_data
