I’ve completed all of the steps for the Tourist Attractions project. Everything is working except for adding a new location. I keep getting the following error:
_too many values to unpack (expected 1)
It points to line 19 in app.py assigning [(name, action)] = request.form.items()
Here is my code for app.py:
from flask import Flask, render_template, request, redirect, url_for
from locations import Locations
from forms import AddLocationForm
app = Flask(__name__)
app.config['SECRET_KEY'] = 'SECRET_PROJECT'
visit = Locations()
categories = {"recommended": "Recommended", "tovisit": "Places To Go", "visited": "Visited!!!", }
UP_ACTION = "\u2197"
DEL_ACTION = "X"
@app.route("/<category>", methods=["GET", "POST"])
def locations(category):
locations = visit.get_list_by_category(category)
## Check the request for form data and process
if request.method == "POST":
[(name, action)] = request.form.items()
if action == UP_ACTION:
visit.moveup(name)
elif action == DEL_ACTION:
visit.delete(name)
## Return the main template with variables
return render_template("locations.html", category=category, categories=categories, locations=locations, add_location=AddLocationForm())
@app.route("/add_location", methods=["POST"])
def add_location():
## Validate and collect the form data
add_form = AddLocationForm()
category = add_form.category.data
if add_form.validate_on_submit():
name=add_form.name.data
description=add_form.description.data
category=add_form.category.data
visit.add(name, description, category)
## Redirect to locations route function
return redirect(url_for("locations", category=category, _external=True, _scheme='https'))
@app.route("/")
def index():
## Redirect to locations route function
return redirect(url_for("locations", category="recommended", _external=True, _scheme='https'))
I’ve tried debugging locally and get HTTPStatus.BAD_REQUEST
If I navigate back to the “Recommended” page by typing the URL in my browser, it does in fact show that the location has been added.
