I am trying to follow this tutorial. When I try to submit the contact form, which should trigger the email, I get an internal server error. The error log says:
RuntimeError: The curent application was not configured with Flask-Mail
The instructions say to use from flask.ext.mail to import but I've seen that it might be from flask_mail now. I've also tried changing the mail port from 465 to 587. Neither of these changes have been fixed the problem. My most up to date code is:
from flask import Flask, render_template, request, flash
from forms import ContactForm
from flask_mail import Mail, Message
mail = Mail()
app = Flask(__name__)
app.secret_key = 'development key'
app.config["MAIL_SERVER"] = "smtp.gmail.com"
app.config["MAIL_PORT"] = 587
app.config["MAIL_USE_SSL"] = True
app.config["MAIL_USERNAME"] = 'contact_email@gmail.com' ## CHANGE THIS
app.config["MAIL_PASSWORD"] = 'password'
mail.init_app(app)
app = Flask(__name__)
app.secret_key = 'Oh Wow This Is A Super Secret Development Key'
@app.route('/')
def home():
return render_template('home.html')
@app.route('/about')
def about():
return render_template('about.html')
@app.route('/contact', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def contact():
form = ContactForm()
if request.method == 'POST':
if form.validate() == False:
flash('All fields are required.')
return render_template('contact.html', form=form)
else:
msg = Message(form.subject.data, sender='contact_email@gmail.com', recipients=['recipient@gmail.com'])
msg.body = """
From: %s <%s>
%s
""" % (form.name.data, form.email.data, form.message.data)
mail.send(msg)
return render_template('contact.html', success=True)
elif request.method == 'GET':
return render_template('contact.html', form=form)
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(debug=True)
