Root Cause

Session is accessed outside of a request context or before it's initialized.

generic

中文

在请求上下文之外或初始化之前访问会话。

Workarounds

  1. 90% success Ensure request context is active 
    with app.test_request_context():
    session['key'] = 'value'
    print(session['key'])
  2. 95% success Initialize session in route 
    @app.route('/login')
def login():
    session['user'] = 'Alice'
    return 'Logged in'

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Setting secret_key after session access 75% fail

    Secret key must be set before first session use.

  2. Using flask.session without import 60% fail

    Session object not available without import.
