Python Version: 3.6
Flask Version: 1.1.1
Pymongo Version: 3.8.0
Flask-PyMongo version: 2.3.0
I'm receiving an unauthenticated message when I attempt any operation in Flask and it appears flask_pymongo is not authenticating.
Error message:
pymongo.errors.OperationFailure: Authentication failed.
I'm storing the URI in a .env file that is used by both Flask and when I try and connect via the Pymongo MongoClient. I've tried authenticating against both the admin and application db's and I've created the db user in both:
> use items_db
switched to db items_db
> db.getUsers()
[
{
"_id" : "items_db.items_db",
"user" : "items_user",
"db" : "items_db",
"roles" : [
{
"role" : "readWrite",
"db" : "items_db"
}
]
}
]
My .env file URI is:
MONGO_URI=mongodb://items_user:PASS@127.0.0.1:27017/items_db
I've also changed the auth source in the URI to this:
MONGO_URI=mongodb://items_user:PASS@127.0.0.1:27017/items_db?authSource=admin
It still works okay using MongoClient but not in flask_pymongo.
I tried authenicating just using the Pymongo Client with exactly the same URI without any problems. I also have created the db user in both the admin and application db's.
In my app/__init__.py file:
from app.extensions import mongo
def create_app(config_class=Config):
app = Flask(__name__)
# set app configs
app.config.from_object(config_class)
# initial flask extensions
mongo.init_app(app)
return app
In my app/main/views.py
# app/main/views.py
from app import mongo
def create_item(public_id, request):
app.logger.info(mongo.db)
uri = app.config['MONGO_URI']
client = MongoClient(uri)
app.logger.info(client)
Log Files:

As you can see the connect keyword shows True vs False. I'm using the application factory pattern. Would this cause this issue? I don't receive any out of context errors or similar.
I've also tried some of the other suggested solutions but none of them describe the exact problem I'm having.
Any help much appreciated.
