RuntimeError: working outside of application context

问题

app.py

from flask import Flask, render_template, request,jsonify,json,g
import mysql.connector

app = Flask(__name__)
**class TestMySQL():**
  @app.before_request
  def before_request():
    try:
       g.db = mysql.connector.connect(user='root', password='root', database='mysql')
    except mysql.connector.errors.Error as err:
      resp = jsonify({'status': 500, 'error': "Error:{}".format(err)})
      resp.status_code = 500
      return resp
@app.route('/')
def input_info(self):
    try:     
        cursor = g.db.cursor()
        cursor.execute ('CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS testmysql (id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, name VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL, \
                 email VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL UNIQUE)')
        cursor.close()

test.py

from app import *
class Test(unittest.TestCase):         
 def test_connection1(self):  
   with patch('__main__.mysql.connector.connect') as  mock_mysql_connector_connect:
   object=TestMySQL()
   object.before_request()  """Runtime error on calling this"  

I am importing app into test.py for unit testing.On calling 'before_request' function into test.py ,it is throwing RuntimeError: working outside of application context same is happening on calling 'input_info()'

回答1:

Flask has an Application Context, and it seems like you'll need to do something like:

def test_connection(self):
    with app.app_context():
        #test code

You can probably also shove the app.app_context() call into a test setup method as well. Hope this helps.

I followed @brenns10 's answer when I ran into a similar problem when using pytest.

I followed the suggestion of putting it into test setup, this works:

import pytest
from src.app import app


@pytest.fixture
def app_context():
    with app.app_context():
        yield


def some_test(app_context):
    <test code that needs the app context>
