Python flask session not getting stored in generator function
1
I am streaming output to the frontend using a generator in one of my flask routes and storing a value in a session variable like this:
@bp.route('/stream', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
@login_required
def stream():
def generate():
if request.method == "POST":
...
...
# trying to store a variable to use in another function
session['testing'] = "testing"
return Response(stream_with_context(generate()), mimetype='text/html')
I want to use this variable in another function like this:
@bp.route('/other_func', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def other_func():
...
...
# trying to recieve it here
testing = session.get('testing')
print(testing) # this value is 'None'
Any variable I store in the generator function results to None.
How can I get around this?

Do you have secret key set in your flask app config ?

@DinkoPehar yes, it's in myinit.py, this used to work before, after adding the generator function it stopped working, does the generator function somehow affect the session from being stored?

Are you sure that generate function is executing that part in if statement ? Part request.method == 'POST' ?

@DinkoPehar I think that's what it is too, since the generator doesn't store the values and just iterates through it once, I believe my session is getting cleared out after the function is done. Trying to think of a way around this...
