windows install - ModuleNotFound Error when running 'flask'

[b1uebu11]

Wrote this up on stackoverflow - attempted a re-install, still seeing the same error.

^This question on stackoverflow has since closed

Below is what I wrote up on the issue I'm experiencing, still.

I am using this guide to build a FreeTAKServer on a windows machine with Python3. When running this code:

set FLASK_APP=run.py flask run I receive this result and the server won't run:

• Serving Flask app "run.py"
• Environment: production WARNING: This is a development server. Do not use it in a production deployment. Use a production WSGI server instead.
• Debug mode: off Usage: flask run [OPTIONS] Try 'flask run --help' for help.

Error: While importing "FreeTAKServer-UI.run", an ImportError was raised:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "c:\software\python\lib\site-packages\flask\cli.py", line 240, in locate_app import(module_name) File "C:\Software\python\Lib\site-packages\FreeTAKServer-UI\run.py", line 38, in from config import config_dict ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'config'

I've attached screengrabs below of;

1. cli.py - line 240
2. desired result example
3. flask debug results
4. run.py - line 38
5. what I originally posted on stackoverflow

use pip to install Flask. Laso follow the docs for windows https://freetakteam.github.io/FreeTAKServer-User-Docs/Installation/Windows/FreeTAKServer_Windows_Install.html

Hey @borthercorvo, I installed Flask using pip as per the instructions in the guide, however I still can't successfully run the UI. Since my question on stackoverflow was auto-closed, I've edited my original comment above to dump what I raised on stackoverflow.

I'm no programmer or pro at this so I'll appreciate if I've done something 'day 1' like.

Any thoughts?

Cheers

@b1uebu11 It looks like the server is running fine but your UI has a problem.

I had this problem before... follow this to quick fix:

try run in F:\python\Lib\site-packages\FreeTAKServer-UI\app folder

delete ini.py 0kb file in F:\python\Lib\site-packages\FreeTAKServer-UI

then try run in F:\python\Lib\site-packages\FreeTAKServer-UI folder

pip install requests

Afterwards try run the UI again.

Hey @Cale-Torino, I followed your steps, got it running! However, now I'm receiving an internal server error haha, does this mean I have a break in the connection to the database?

I had the same thing happen. When I uncommented

SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = 'sqlite:///:memory:'

Things started "working" but the pages were very slow to load and it didn't seem like it was working (although it was not spitting errors anymore).
