ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'False'

Question

Any idea how to fix this issue?

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "manage.py", line 1, in <module>
    from punchstarter import manager
  File "/app/punchstarter/__init__.py", line 29, in <module>
    mail = Mail(app)
  File "/app/.heroku/python/lib/python2.7/site-packages/flask_mail.py",     line 539, in __init__
    self.state = self.init_app(app)
  File "/app/.heroku/python/lib/python2.7/site-packages/flask_mail.py", line 566, in init_app
    state = self.init_mail(app.config, app.debug, app.testing)
  File "/app/.heroku/python/lib/python2.7/site-packages/flask_mail.py", line 552, in init_mail
    int(config.get('MAIL_DEBUG', debug)),
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'False'

from my __init__.py line 29:

mail = Mail(app)

I am running python and I think there is some trouble with the flask_mail configs, but I'm not sure where the problem lies.

We need more code. But as far as I understand this traceback, there is something wrong with your configs. — Montreal, Aug 18 '16 at 04:36
From the trace, the parameter 'MAIL_DEBUG' is set to 'False' in the config file. But it is expected to be integer. — acw1668, Aug 18 '16 at 05:01
Do you know what integer it should be? How do I find that out? — Nathan Windsor, Aug 18 '16 at 05:30
@NathanWindsor From the source code of Flask-Mail, it should be '0' for False and '1' for True. — acw1668, Aug 18 '16 at 06:20
In your config file, you probably have a line like `MAIL_DEBUG = 'False'`. If you remove the quotes it should work. — augurar, Aug 18 '16 at 07:21

Set

app.debug = 0

This worked for me

mail = Mail()  
app.debug = 0  
mail.init_app(app)

Helped me. I have set the debug level as "DEBUG". Which is a string. Still wonder why it works in that way. Need to try keeping DEBUG and MAIL_DEBUG in the configs. May be it'll work. – Hareendra Chamara Philips Jan 03 '19 at 08:06
