Flask Redirect only works upon refreshing page
1
flask redirect is not redirecting to the new page. In my index function, upon logging in the redirect does not redirect to the user's homepage; however, it does redirect to the user's homepage upon refreshing the page and checking current_user.authenticated. I have the same exact redirect code in both if statements. Why is it not redirecting right after I login the user?
@login.user_loader
def load_user(user_id):
user = User()
username = user.get_username(str(user_id))
user = User(username = username, id = user_id)
return user
@app.route("/", methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def index():
if current_user.is_authenticated:
print('this redirect works')
return redirect(url_for('home', username = str(current_user.username)))
else:
username = str(request.form.get('user'))
password = str(request.form.get('password'))
user = User(username = username)
my_hash = user.get_password(username)
if user.check_password(my_hash, password):
my_id = user.get_user_id(username)
user = User(username = username, id = my_id)
login_user(user, remember=True)
print('this redirect doesnt work')
return redirect(url_for('home', username = str(current_user.username)))
return render_template('index.html')
@app.route("/<username>", methods=['GET', 'POST'])
@login_required
def home(username):
print('here')
if (str(request.form.get('signout')) == 'true'):
print('logout')
logout_user()
return redirect(url_for('index'))
return render_template('home.html')
Here is the console upon logging in a user 'a'
