Flask Shell Commands not working

Question

I\'m new to python and flask and currently working on the Flask Mega-Tutorial, however: I\'m stuck getting flask shell to recognize my custom symbols/commands.

Answer 1

Flask needs to be told how to import it, by setting the

FLASK_APP:(venv) $ export FLASK_APP=microblog.py

If you are using Microsoft Windows, use set instead of export in the command above.
