Flask view return error “View function did not return a response”

Question

I have a view that calls a function to get the response. However, it gives the error View function did not return a response. How do I fix this?

Answer 1

The following does not return a response:

@app.route('/hello', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def hello():
    hello_world()

You mean to say...

@app.route('/hello', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def hello():
    return hello_world()

Note the addition of return in this fixed function.
