Im attempting to create a website in flask. To do that, I need use sessions and therefore I am required to use a secret key. I did all of that, and yet it still returns a long error log with
nameerror: name ‘session’ is not defined
at then end
I tried everything and moved the thing that sets the secret key everywhere, but it always had the same issue. Here is my code currently:
from flask import Flask
import os
app = Flask(__name__)
app.secret_key = os.urandom(24)
usernumber = 0
@app.route('/')
def homepage():
global usernumber
session['usernumber'] = usernumber
usernumber = usernumber + 1
Usernumberstring = session['usernumber']
return f"Welcome {Usernumberstring}"
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(use_reloader=True, debug=False, host="0.0.0.0")

You are not importing session;
from flask import Flask, session
