Update method raises an error when trying to make flask-session work with pymongo

caio2525 commented 2 years ago

Code example

from dotenv import load_dotenv
import os
from flask import Flask, session
from flask_session import Session
import pymongo

load_dotenv()

app = Flask(__name__)

MONGO_URI = os.environ.get("MONGO_URI")

client = pymongo.MongoClient(MONGO_URI)
neoDB = client.mydb

SESSION_TYPE = os.environ.get("SESSION_TYPE")
app.config['SECRET_KEY'] = 'mysecret'
app.config["SESSION_TYPE"] = SESSION_TYPE
app.config["SESSION_MONGODB"] = client
app.config["SESSION_MONGODB_DB"] = "mydb"
app.config["SESSION_MONGODB_COLLECT"] = "sessions"

sess = Session()
sess.init_app(app)

from User import routes

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(host='127.0.0.1', port=5000, deb

Every time I try to access a route a get the following error:

File "/Documents/Portifólio/authSystem/env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/flask_session/sessions.py", line 456, in save_session self.store.update({'id': store_id}, File "/Documents/Portifólio/authSystem/env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pymongo/collection.py", line 2584, in __call__ raise TypeError("'Collection' object is not callable. If you meant to " TypeError: 'Collection' object is not callable. If you meant to call the 'update' method on a 'Collection' object it is failing because no such method exists.

Somebody pointed out that it is due to the fact that update method was removed from pymongo.collection in version 4.0.
