Root Cause

Using db.session outside an app context, or the SQLAlchemy extension was never bound to the app via db.init_app(app).

generic

中文

在应用上下文之外使用 db.session，或 SQLAlchemy 扩展从未通过 db.init_app(app) 绑定到应用。

Workarounds

  1. 93% success 
    In factory: db.init_app(app); with app.app_context(): db.create_all()
  2. 90% success 
    Wrap script code: with app.app_context(): db.session.add(obj); db.session.commit()

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 85% fail

    No app context; raises the same error.

  2. 70% fail

    Still requires init_app with the app instance.
