make sure to force refresh

quick scarab Jul 7, 2018, 12:44 AM

#

yeah

#

this is actually driving me insane

#

it's gonna be the smallest detail

#

i've been looking for like an hour now

keen ore Jul 7, 2018, 12:45 AM

#

for me that works on chrome with the !important

quick scarab Jul 7, 2018, 12:45 AM

#

hmm

#

maybe it's something to do with my python??

#

what is the href for your css?

keen ore Jul 7, 2018, 12:46 AM

#

just a local file

#

are yo usure that the path is currect

#

the homepagestyle is in root of static?

#

open the chrome dev console, see if its loading the file

quick scarab Jul 7, 2018, 12:47 AM

#

well the css is in \Desktop\Code\Languages\Website\static and the php script is in \Desktop\Code\Languages\Website\templates

#

does it have to be an html file?

keen ore Jul 7, 2018, 12:47 AM

#

?

#

why is there php?

#

are you using flask?

quick scarab Jul 7, 2018, 12:48 AM

#

uh huh

keen ore Jul 7, 2018, 12:49 AM

#

try

    <div class="container" id="wrapper" style="background-color: #ff6600">
            <p id="loginforminfo"> Login to continue to the site: </p>

    </div>

quick scarab Jul 7, 2018, 12:51 AM

#

yeah that works

#

for some reason it can't load the file

#

it's weird, if i use a local href then it displays the "login to continue etc" text just without styling, while if i use the coded href then it doesn't even display the text

keen ore Jul 7, 2018, 12:54 AM

#

hmm

#

maybe something else tries to override the background color

quick scarab Jul 7, 2018, 12:58 AM

#

it's not finding the file

#

the css

#

if i run the server from the flask script, then what is the root directory of the webpage?? where the flask is ran from?

keen ore Jul 7, 2018, 12:59 AM

#

not sure

quick scarab Jul 7, 2018, 1:12 AM

#

finally got it to work!! thanks so much for your help 😊

#

does django/flask have angular support?

brave mantle Jul 7, 2018, 9:52 PM

#

angular has nothing to do with the server

loud walrus Jul 7, 2018, 9:53 PM

#

but like

brave mantle Jul 7, 2018, 9:53 PM

#

it's client-side javascript

loud walrus Jul 7, 2018, 9:53 PM

#

right

#

if the user presses a button

#

how can I pass that action from angular to flask

#

if that makes sense?

brave mantle Jul 7, 2018, 9:53 PM

#

that's really going to be up to you

#

I don't recommend angular for that though

#

that's massively overkill

loud walrus Jul 7, 2018, 9:53 PM

#

wdym

brave mantle Jul 7, 2018, 9:53 PM

#

you should be able to do it with nothing but javascript itself

loud walrus Jul 7, 2018, 9:53 PM

#

actually come to think of it

#

basically everything I need can be done through js

#

most of it is on a rest api anyways

#

ts file is type script right?

brave mantle Jul 7, 2018, 9:57 PM

#

yep

loud walrus Jul 7, 2018, 9:57 PM

If I use javascript to scroll up and down on a website with selenium, will the website I am scrolling on know that I used javascript to perform those actions?
How do I enable a normal smooth scroll without using javascript?

loud walrus Jul 7, 2018, 10:46 PM

#

why are you concerned about a website knowing you used javescript to scroll?

#

and just so you might know 1. why are you trying to bot a website using js

#

and 2. no they would not know.

ask

Asking good questions will yield a much higher chance of a quick response:

• Don't ask to ask your question, just go ahead and tell us your problem.
• Try to solve the problem on your own first, we're not going to write code for you.
• Show us the code you've tried and any errors or unexpected results it's giving
• Keep your patience while we're helping you.

You can find a much more detailed explanation on our website.

Well i have a problem with hosting my server on a domain, its a VPS with a Namecheap domain.

#

And i dont know how to get it to run on that domain

I want the domain to display in the hotbar and not the ip

buoyant ledge Jul 8, 2018, 2:07 PM

#

So when you visit the domain does it currently bring you to the server but displays the IP and not the name?

native tide Jul 8, 2018, 2:47 PM

its fine now mate fixed it with some Advanced DNS adjustments

sour heath Jul 8, 2018, 11:19 PM

I keep getting this error with this js ```python

a reference on a solution I tried to use is: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38662296/unexpected-in-field-name-when-doing-string-formatting, this could easily be not related to my end goal, if so, I apologize.

Unexpected '{' in field name when doing string formatting

I'm trying to write a small script that will automate some PHP boilerplate that I need to write. It should write a copy of the string code to the output file with the various replacement fields fil...

#

but doing something like doubling up the brackets in the script section above leaves another error

#

jinja2.exceptions.TemplateSyntaxError: unexpected char '$' at 163

#

163 is the second $ in that script

#

I'm not sure how I would fix the first Value Error and it appears that threads solution was improper for my situation, I thank those who have a better solution or know how I could fix such a thing

#

and only making the second set of brackets doubled up returns a similar error: jinja2.exceptions.TemplateSyntaxError: unexpected char '$' at 201

#

char 201 is the third and final $

native tide Jul 9, 2018, 12:41 AM

#

I see no reason that js should toss an error, there are no template strings to escape. check your stack trace again or comment out the js to see what's throwing the error.

sour heath Jul 9, 2018, 1:05 AM

#

it has to be those curly brackedtgs

#

brackets

#

seen as formatting brackets

#

if you mean the $ char issue, I have no idea

sour heath Jul 9, 2018, 1:54 AM

#

I suppose a solution could consist of me making a separate file for the script, but I'm not sure how to do that and I'm also not sure if that will even help

sour heath Jul 9, 2018, 2:32 AM

haHA I got it

had to make an external js file though

hey

how come using vue.js

#

that code

doesnt actually render hello vue

#

📎 unknown.png

#

does brackets realtime not render scripts?

sour heath Jul 9, 2018, 3:33 AM

#

isn't it because when you use double curly brackets, it prevent them from being formattable

#

and that makes message just message

#

I'm not very good at this, but it could be

native tide Jul 9, 2018, 4:52 AM

#

you either need to define new delimiters, square brackets is a good choice, for vue or escape with {% raw %} {{ whatever }} {% endraw %}

loud walrus Jul 9, 2018, 4:53 AM

#

wtf

#

 <div class="login">
    <h3>Sign In</h3>
    <input type="text" v-model="email" placeholder="Email"><br>

<style scoped>  /* "scoped" attribute limit the CSS to this component only */
  .login {

why doesnt that

there is a code, I don't remember what it is that you probably find in those other pages

and in {{ }} that is above the request codes

is jquery still relevant in 2018?

@sour heath simple, usually using a rest api backend

or using a framework like django for a server side interface

#

but

#

if I wree you

#

I would start with the basics

sour heath Jul 10, 2018, 12:49 AM

#

people are saying to use sockets

loud walrus Jul 10, 2018, 12:49 AM

#

ex. instead of a game, start with maybe just something simpler

#

well depends

#

if its like surviv.io or something or like agar.io

#

yes using sockets would make the most sense.

#

if its more simple though, then you can probably get away with a rest api

Hey guys, getting a weird problem when I integrated my celery/flask/rediscloud app to heroku
When I follow my app url, after 30 seconds the request times out and I get an application error on the webpage, however in the background, the celery part of things still completes its process, however the result never gets to the webpage
Any ideas why this might be?
I thought using celery to run the process in the background was going to fix this problem

A little more info, I am using a genetic algorithm to produce a long list based on user input. the GA takes around 3-5 minutes to complete, so I am using celery to run it in the background so I don't get a critical worker timeout error, however even after implementing it all, I still get the error. But my heroku logs show that the worker still completes the GA and successfully gets the result. The result just never makes it to the webpage because as soon as the worker timed out at the beginning, an errorpage is shown.
Here is the heroku log: https://hastebin.com/ifakexilep.vbs

Hi Everyone

#

I'm super green regarding Selenium web automation and wanted to ask a question

#

Is it possible to continue from a certain line? As I don't want to keep spamming the lets say login screen or starting website but just want to continue from a certain point

#

I read about an addon for Sublime Text 3 and I am able to select a couple of lines to continue from

#

But how do I do that within the Selenium module?

brave mantle Jul 10, 2018, 12:33 PM

#

@cobalt vale You would have to build that logic into your application

#

There's no real time warping

#

So you'd need to somehow save all the needed data that you got from the login screen so that you could load it later on

cobalt vale Jul 10, 2018, 12:36 PM

#

Checking how I can paste code in here

#

Can you maybe show me an example or refer me to an example online?

#

I'm not really able to find it @brave mantle

brave mantle Jul 10, 2018, 12:38 PM

#

You won't really find an example for that

#

It's the kind of thing that entirely depends on your application

cobalt vale Jul 10, 2018, 12:38 PM

#

Yeah, true..

brave mantle Jul 10, 2018, 12:38 PM

#

You'll need to be sure you're experienced in python before tackling more than a simple script

cobalt vale Jul 10, 2018, 12:39 PM

#

True, ah well, I'll just start at the beginning of the code again, it is not that big

#

thanks anyway

@brave mantle Can you maybe point me to a deathbycaptcha guide for Selenium?

brave mantle Jul 10, 2018, 1:57 PM

You're looking to solve captchas with selenium?

The only real way to do that is, well, manually

cobalt vale Jul 10, 2018, 1:58 PM

#

via the deathbycaptcha api

brave mantle Jul 10, 2018, 1:58 PM

#

ah, well I've never even heard of that

cobalt vale Jul 10, 2018, 1:58 PM

#

Really? damn..

#

Hmm, ok

brave mantle Jul 10, 2018, 1:58 PM

#

it's worth noting that most sites and captcha providers don't allow users to solve captchas automatically, or even scrape their sites

#

that's kind of the point of a captcha

cobalt vale Jul 10, 2018, 2:03 PM

#

Sure but then I'm not able to do any automations online

#

I'll ask elsewhere, thanks anyway

Welp, here goes

#

Hello, I'm trying to implement an auth/authn flow using oauth2/openid and I am very confused about who plays which part; I'll try to formulate a question that makes sense...

Assume I have a web application WA, an authorisation server AS, and one or more identity providers IDP. I am to develop the AS part.
The goal is for the WA to know who the user is, and whether that user has permission to use the WA. I must:

Ask the user for his email, and find out which IDP he belongs to [black box]
Send the user to the IDP's login page and make him sign in
The AS needs to check if the user is authorised to use the WA
If he is, the WA needs to have his identity and an authorisation to use it; if he isn't, the WA needs neither.

#

What is unclear to me is where oauth2 is used/where openid is used, and if the WA gets an openid ID token (that will verify against the IDP) how does it know where to ask for authorization?

so, i'm trying to create an api, so i'm new to this kinda of stuff and it's my first time doing in python

i'm with a little trouble doing it

#

i'm making like this

from flask_restful import Resource, Api

api = Api(app)

from app.api import tables
api.add_resource(CreateTable, '/CreateTable')

#

the problem i'm getting is that api has no attribute add_resource

#

what's that mean?

#

(i'm using flask btw)

vague seal Jul 11, 2018, 1:43 AM

it looks like u need the flask stuff @native tide

        return {'hello': 'world'}

api.add_resource(HelloWorld, '/')```

What am I doing wrong with crsf tokens here, in the example below the if case throws a missing CRSF token error

{% if disp is defined %}
<input type="hidden" name="csrf_token" value="{{ csrf_token() }}"/>
<h2 class="subs-title text-center">Thank you for subscribing!</h2>
{% else %}
<h2 class="subs-title text-center">Subscribe now!</h2>
<div class="subcription-info text-center">

  <form class="subscribe_form" action="/" method="post">
  <input type="hidden" name="csrf_token" value="{{ csrf_token() }}"/>
    <input required="" value="" placeholder="Enter your email..." class="email" id="email" name="email" type="email">
    <input class="subscribe" name="email" value="Subscribe!" type="submit">
  </form>
  <p class="sub-p">We Promise to never span you.</p>
</div>
{% endif %}

#

after a button click and the post disp gets defined is defined

#

@app.route('/', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def index():
    if request.method == 'POST':
        return render_template('index.html', disp='yes')
    else:
        return render_template('index.html')

what could i be doing wrong? 

im guessing its because of my `get_id()` function in my user class, which returns a string with the id (`1000` in my test case), although im not sure what i could do diferently

native tide Jul 11, 2018, 2:38 PM

#

getattr(user, current_app.login_manager.id_attribute) returns a string but youre calling it as if its a function

#

any particular reason youre doing that? lol

summer dirge Jul 11, 2018, 2:58 PM

#

i personally am never calling getattr(...)

#

its called in \Python37\lib\site-packages\flask_login\utils.py

#

you can see that in the stacktrace

polar wasp Jul 11, 2018, 3:00 PM

#

what is your user object and your login manager object?

#

and are you able to see what current_app.login_manager.id_attribute is?

queen needle Jul 11, 2018, 4:13 PM

@quartz maple Django includes a lot of things for you, it works better if your project is a more traditional website with a database backend, forms, admin pages etc.

Flask gives you nothing but a web server and a templating engine, and is more suited for bottom-up development and light weight websites or APIs; whatever extra you need you can bolt on, it's very well built for that purpose

#

In very simplified terms, to make Django "like Flask" you have to disable a lot of features that Django just assumes about your technology stack
To make Flask "like Django" you would need to add several extension modules like login, database, forms, etc.

do the comments have a class for themselves?

you may want to give them a class for easier styling

marsh canyon Jul 11, 2018, 4:57 PM

those comments r printing from the database

im not worried abt that

my background color is not coming for some reason

no matter which ever color i try

idk that footer(?) seems to get a background color 🤔

marsh canyon Jul 11, 2018, 4:58 PM

the font-weight works

#

footer got its own css

native tide Jul 11, 2018, 4:59 PM

yea, so why shouldn't the comments have their own css (class)

marsh canyon Jul 11, 2018, 4:59 PM

the whole webpage

the eniter white background u see

i want it filled with another color

but its not geting filled

did you already try just background: grey;

?

nah, i mean the rest is already affected, but still worth a shot i guess

the other webpages work with background-color,wondering whats wrong with this one

thorny hill Jul 11, 2018, 5:02 PM

#

is Flask more toward SPA (react angular) ?

compared to django

native tide Jul 11, 2018, 5:02 PM

#

iirc flask is more like express

thorny hill Jul 11, 2018, 5:03 PM

#

flask to build rest ?

#

only the backend ?

#

the front in React or Angular ?

native tide Jul 11, 2018, 5:04 PM

#

pretty much

#

although you can also do the frontend with flask

#

but it's not required

#

@marsh canyon nothing's wrong with background-color, just both background and background-color work

thorny hill Jul 11, 2018, 5:05 PM

#

django its full stack and Flask is backend ?

native tide Jul 11, 2018, 5:06 PM

#

django is full stack out of the box yes

marsh canyon Jul 11, 2018, 5:06 PM

#

@native tide yea but its not working for some reason on that page,just a min code will be updated on github so u can see it there

native tide Jul 11, 2018, 5:06 PM

with flask you'd need to add stuff like a database and frontend template engine

hey, ive got another problem:

i was just working on something else, restart my flask app, and now this happens:

  File "[...]/frontend/app.py", line 4, in <module>
    from user import User
  File "[...]\frontend\user.py", line 4, in <module>
    class User(UserMixin, id):
TypeError: metaclass conflict: the metaclass of a derived class must be a (non-strict) subclass of the metaclasses of all its bases```

so my obvious question is: what happened? it worked, and suddenly when i restart it doesnt? makes no sense to me. all i did was change a method that isnt even used yet

what's in you guys opinion the most optimal way to make your usual user management / data CRUDS app for a customer ?

queen needle Jul 11, 2018, 7:57 PM

#

@summer dirge could the User class be trying to use id as a mixin class?

#

bot.docs['id']

lavish prismBOT Jul 11, 2018, 7:59 PM

#

`id`

id(object)```Return the “identity” of an object. This is an integer which is guaranteed to be unique and constant for this object during its lifetime. Two objects with non-overlapping lifetimes may have the same [`id()`](#id "id") value.

**CPython implementation detail:** This is the address of the object in memory.

that was it

apparently i tried somethin

Sorry I was asking what framework(s) do you guys use for building admin cruds easily lol

queen needle Jul 11, 2018, 9:09 PM

#

Both Django and flask have good admin cruds

quartz maple Jul 11, 2018, 11:47 PM

#

@queen needle that looks to me that Django is better

jagged knot Jul 12, 2018, 12:06 AM

#

I think Django is better for more experience web dev

queen needle Jul 12, 2018, 12:19 AM

#

I must disagree. Flask gives you less for more, in my opinion. Since you have to build from the ground up, nothing is packaged for you and you select only the components you need, which ultimately affects performance positively. Also I've found it more easily extensible than Django

#

However I have some bias because I prefer lightweight frameworks in general

#

And as aways, "right tool for the job". It's overkill to use Django if all you're implementing is a REST api.

quartz maple Jul 12, 2018, 1:15 AM

#

which is easest to learn @queen needle

feral dragon Jul 12, 2018, 5:24 AM

#

Both aren't too bad, but Flask might be easier @quartz maple

deep cave Jul 12, 2018, 5:31 AM

#

Django comes with a number of specific batteries included. this is useful if you are familiar with those batteries and think they're a good fit for your project.

#

but for a beginner, this will almost never be the case.

#

so flask is a better choice.

#

however if you are following along with a good django tutorial (like Corey Schafers) it might be a good sink or swim style intro to lots of web tech

#

you'll learn about ORMs, migrations, class based views..

#

but if you just wanna make a simple website, flask is a great choice.

quartz maple Jul 12, 2018, 5:51 AM

#

@deep cave i want to make a eCommerce Website

#

thats fully custom

#

and

#

it sells digital keys

deep cave Jul 12, 2018, 5:58 AM

#

sounds like a good fifth project

#

what are you gonna do for your first four?

queen needle Jul 12, 2018, 6:05 AM

#

Sounds like a Django project to me

#

(of course this doesn't mean Flask is a bad fit for it)

deep cave Jul 12, 2018, 6:06 AM

#

either framework could handle a project like that - but you really should learn to crawl before you start running the marathon that is making an eCommerce website.

queen needle Jul 12, 2018, 6:08 AM

#

If it's a toy project it can work, there are probably tutorials out there that eventually lead you towards building it step by step while learning

#

But when money is involved, security is the #1 priority so it would really be a bad idea to go live with it

quartz maple Jul 12, 2018, 6:26 AM

#

itd be hosted locally

#

then on a server

queen needle Jul 12, 2018, 6:53 AM

#

Go live = allow people to use it regardless of where it is

#

Lemon and I are saying it is a tough and risky choice for a first project

quartz maple Jul 12, 2018, 6:59 AM

#

people cant touch it locally

#

lol

queen needle Jul 12, 2018, 7:00 AM

#

So it's a toy project

#

Go wild then 😁

#

I'm sure there are tutorials out there. I'd recommend Django in your case

quartz maple Jul 12, 2018, 7:01 AM

#

itd say no one can touch it locally?

#

unless they forced there way in

queen needle Jul 12, 2018, 7:02 AM

#

Well yeah, nobody can touch your website if you're running it locally without exposing it to the world. Including any customers of course.

#

It's just you and your website

quartz maple Jul 12, 2018, 7:03 AM

#

i mean even if i did share the IP

#

itd shut it down

queen needle Jul 12, 2018, 7:04 AM

#

Do you know what a port is?

quartz maple Jul 12, 2018, 7:04 AM

#

yes.....

#

i was just about to say

#

itd bind it to a different one

queen needle Jul 12, 2018, 7:05 AM

#

So unless you forward port 443 from your router to your pc, nobody will have access to your site, even if they have your IP

quartz maple Jul 12, 2018, 7:05 AM

#

or not have it on the default in the first place.

queen needle Jul 12, 2018, 7:07 AM

#

I still don't understand what you mean by "people can't touch it"
As long as you don't NAT from your public IP to your machine, it'll be completely obscured from the outside

brave mantle Jul 12, 2018, 7:07 AM

#

It should be on one of the standard ports

#

Otherwise people will need the port too

queen needle Jul 12, 2018, 7:09 AM

#

As soon as you expose a single port to the outside, regardless of whether your application is hosted on your local machine or amazon or whatever, you're immediately subjected to the bad guys™

#

Which is why I advocated against publishing an e-commerce website as your first project, unless you have someone experienced to help you out with debugging and security

#

especially if you're also managing user identity and PII (hi GDPR)

meager anchor Jul 12, 2018, 1:03 PM

#

you can use middleware i think

#

https://sanic.readthedocs.io/en/latest/sanic/middleware.html

#

i really wouldn't recommend using sanic though

#

just use flask with gevent if you want async flask

where do you guys format time+timezones, on the frontend or backend?

native tide Jul 12, 2018, 4:24 PM

#

it seems I'm supposed to do this on the frontend

deep cave Jul 12, 2018, 6:28 PM

#

Moment.js is quite nice

#

there's a flask extension for it too

#

doing it in the frontend with something like js means they can update in front of your eyes.

#

1 minute ago can turn into 3 minutes ago if you just stay on the page

#

it's quite nice

#

it also handles localizing the time data to whatever is the correct output for that user - like showing MM/DD to americans and DD/MM to europeans or whatever.

#

it can even display stuff like the name of the day in dozens of languages

kind steppe Jul 12, 2018, 6:32 PM

#

timezone format is best on frontend because it can then adapt to local time settings

deep cave Jul 12, 2018, 6:32 PM

#

yep

kind steppe Jul 12, 2018, 6:32 PM

#

on the backend store a timestamp or something and then convert it to a formatted time in client

#

I second the recommendation of moment.js, great library

@deep cave, that seems like a good idea

#

@1dude, I like the minimal approach too, but I'm hoping this project will be enough to get my next job, so want to make sure it looks somewhat 'professional'

#

as for the excess space at the bottom, I'm not yet sure what's up with that

#

it's because of the margin, but the margin-top and margin-bottom have the same % value

Hello everyone

i need help with a task that I have been given to create some kind of Rule Business Engine with UI or bot
which is as follows :

Objective: Build a small Rule Engine based UI (or bot)
Languages: Using node.js or Python or both
 
Business Use Case: Business needs to use the rule engine to communicate certain messages with users interacting with them. Business will configure certain rules from time to time and based on the combination of such rules, appropriate communication to the user should be tailored. Now, the rules are not all evaluated at one time but could even happen after a time-span.
 
Example Business Rules:
1. Check if the user is a repeat visitor or not (To check website visit of user using cookies in the last 7 days)
2. User input is "Good Morning" and local time is < 12noon, then say "Great day it is"
b) User input is "Good Morning" and local time is <> 12noon, then say "Its not a morning. isn't it ?"
c) User input is <> "Good Morning" and local time is < 12noon, then say "Hello, GM ?"
d) User input is <> "Good Morning" and local time is <> 12noon, then say "Hello, how are you ?"
3. If user input is blank, hold session and wait
b) If user input is anything else, close session and say "Thank you"
 
Please note that user input can happen even after few hours or days. Data will to be coming at a time. You need to hold the rules and evaluate.
 
Technical Requirements:
Build a run engine based UI
Provide a configuration for business users to change/edit/add rules with a GUI
Develop and Maintain a Webservice
Based on the rules, whenever the request comes, it should give response and respond needs to be based on previous request
Business users should be able to configure the rules dynamically without restarting the complete service
Note that there will be separate request response cycles and not all responses will be together together
Basic reporting of the user interactions

#

I can create web apps with Node.js/Express.js and Python django with using simple Bootstrap
but in this case I'm not sure that should I output this on a webpage with all the routes/model/controllers defined or bot building is done differently

Hey doods, quick question. Im a little confused on how to setup HTTPS with Django. Do I need an SSL certificate or do I just change the security header and thats it? -- for my senior capstone project

My project is complete except I want to ensure we show "HTTPS" for a live map feed we have for a single device. I would appreciate not showing everyone on the web the exact lat/long of my house going across the internet 😃(edited)

Also: How would I use Django to setup this: In my Security class last semester we were able to setup a "login" so to say on Apache 2 so that you couldn't view the webpage without logging in. Should I just make it so that I myself has to log in on Django using the application layer? I want to block it at the protocol level not the application layer(edited)
Sorry, been a while so I may not be in-tune with terminology, which is why I really cant google it specifically

#

(re-posted from General to be more topic specific to the lurkers here)

shrewd sand Jul 14, 2018, 6:33 AM

#

You generally need a SSL certificate

#

But I have found using cloudflare as a host for your domain just as effective

#

They deal with the SSL certificate for you, give you stats etc

little nexus Jul 14, 2018, 11:18 AM

#

you need a cert
let's encrypt is a service which offers certificates for free (which are actual certificates which means you won't need to import a certidicate into browsers for your https to work)

brave mantle Jul 14, 2018, 11:48 AM

#

Even if you use cloudflare, you should still use a cert @shrewd sand

#

without one, the traffic between cloudflare and your server is still unencrypted

shrewd sand Jul 14, 2018, 11:49 AM

#

@brave mantle it's better than nothing.

brave mantle Jul 14, 2018, 11:49 AM

#

No, it's really not

#

it's arguably worse than nothing

shrewd sand Jul 14, 2018, 11:50 AM

#

how

brave mantle Jul 14, 2018, 11:50 AM

#

because you're telling your user they're secure when they're not

#

brb

shrewd sand Jul 14, 2018, 11:50 AM

#

That's interesting that it even says secure then.

native tide Jul 14, 2018, 11:50 AM

#

"This is definitely secure!" (it's not)

shrewd sand Jul 14, 2018, 11:51 AM

#

I don't want to pay the money tho

#

For a SSL certificate :(

brave mantle Jul 14, 2018, 11:53 AM

#

SSL certs are free

#

use LetsEncrypt

#

although you probably won't be able to on a simple webhost

kind steppe Jul 14, 2018, 11:53 AM

#

sharp think about it this way

#

the user connects the cloudflare, no one between them can alter the request

#

cloudflare connects to your server, anyone along the way can alter things about the request, inject things, see things and do other bad stuff

#

and the user thinks things are all okay because there is an SSL certificate

Anyway to simulate mousemovents in e.g. Selenium that would get picked up by javascript on a website as actual mousemovents, without moving my actual mouse? So I can run multiple scripts at the same time

native tide Jul 14, 2018, 3:10 PM

#

@rugged abyss you mean in javascript?

rugged abyss Jul 14, 2018, 3:12 PM

#

No in python, but which will be picked up by Javascript on a website as being a regular mouse

native tide Jul 14, 2018, 3:12 PM

#

The lib pyautogui

rugged abyss Jul 14, 2018, 3:12 PM

#

I know that Facebook, Reddit etc tracks movement of your mouse

native tide Jul 14, 2018, 3:12 PM

#

Um...

#

and what matters if traks movement?

rugged abyss Jul 14, 2018, 3:13 PM

#

Because I want to scrape random information from public facebook groups, and if I dont simulate mouse movements they will likely throw me

#

And at the same time I want more than one script to be running at the same time as I am scraping information for a fairly large project so it would take forever to do with only one

native tide Jul 14, 2018, 3:13 PM

#

i don't think they will throw you

#

But it is against rules if you scrape random information from public facebook groups?

rugged abyss Jul 14, 2018, 3:14 PM

#

and then I would not be able to finish this project in time

#

Dont think so, as far as I know public data is not illegal to scrape, but they can still ban IPs if they want

#

so I am looking for something that will simulate mouse movements caught by javascript as regular mouse movements

native tide Jul 14, 2018, 3:15 PM

#

I'm sorry but I can't help you at breaking rules

rugged abyss Jul 14, 2018, 3:15 PM

#

but wont actually move my normal mouse so I can have multiple scripts running

native tide Jul 14, 2018, 3:15 PM

There is a easier way to block tracking

I'm not allowed to help you in that case.

rugged abyss Jul 14, 2018, 3:16 PM

#

This is not breaking rules

native tide Jul 14, 2018, 3:16 PM

#

you are scraping random information from public facebook groups

rugged abyss Jul 14, 2018, 3:17 PM

#

To aggregate? What on earth would I do with random peoples personal information, I am interested in average age of various public groups etc and other random metrics for an assignment

native tide Jul 14, 2018, 3:18 PM

#

I don't know if it is or not against rules.

#

@kind steppe what do you think? you know this stuff

kind steppe Jul 14, 2018, 3:19 PM

#

What

native tide Jul 14, 2018, 3:19 PM

#

He needs help with scraping random information from public facebook groups.

#

That's against the rules

kind steppe Jul 14, 2018, 3:19 PM

#

I don't think automating facebook is good with facebooks tos

#

so yeah that probably isn't something one should do

native tide Jul 14, 2018, 3:19 PM

#

Yeah...

#

Should I help him?

kind steppe Jul 14, 2018, 3:20 PM

#

I'm just going to go through the terms

#

doesn't facebook have an API you could use?

kind steppe Jul 14, 2018, 3:20 PM

#

You may not access or collect data from our Products using automated means (without our prior permission) or attempt to access data that you do not have permission to access.

native tide Jul 14, 2018, 3:21 PM

#

Yep. So I will not help him.

kind steppe Jul 14, 2018, 3:21 PM

#

If you collect the data and have a decent privacy policy, the API can be used,

#

collecting data through automation of the browser is not allowed

native tide Jul 14, 2018, 3:21 PM

#

He needs to simulate a fake mouse movement so he will not be tracked

#

That's against the rules.

rugged abyss Jul 14, 2018, 3:26 PM

#

I have also shared my password because I needed him to read a file someone sent me, which as per section 3-1 is also not allowed

#

Not share your password, give access to your Facebook account to others or transfer your account to anyone else (without our permission).

native tide Jul 14, 2018, 3:27 PM

#

What that matters?

rugged abyss Jul 14, 2018, 3:28 PM

#

point is that ToS are broad and does not cover what is legal/illegal, it is a set of terms that they would like you to follow

native tide Jul 14, 2018, 3:28 PM

#

Still not a good idea to break it

rugged abyss Jul 14, 2018, 3:29 PM

#

I highly doubt that anyone will get hurt by me collecting average age and gender information from public groups to use in an assignment for sociology

kind steppe Jul 14, 2018, 3:29 PM

#

We aren't saying you are breaking the law

#

We are saying we will not help you at all

rugged abyss Jul 14, 2018, 3:29 PM

#

That is fine

kind steppe Jul 14, 2018, 3:29 PM

#

because violating the ToS of a company is not something we permit

#

However, if you use the API, we can assist

native tide Jul 14, 2018, 3:29 PM

#

yeah, read the documentation. don't scrape

#

maybe it will be easier

rugged abyss Jul 14, 2018, 3:30 PM

#

No worries guys I'll figure it out on my own

native tide Jul 14, 2018, 3:30 PM

#

okay

#

I can still help you with the mouse tracking part.

#

But this channel is about web developing

rugged abyss Jul 14, 2018, 3:31 PM

#

Yeah sorry for not posting it the right place, just was a little in doubt on where it was fitting

native tide Jul 14, 2018, 3:31 PM

#

You can block the mouse tracking deleting and stopping the js script that is tracking the mouse.

rugged abyss Jul 14, 2018, 3:31 PM

#

Hmm sounds like a nice idea, I dislike the idea of someone tracking random things I do on the internet anyway

Is it possible to have two apps in a Django project working on the same web page?

meager anchor Jul 14, 2018, 5:50 PM

absolutely

#

it's very common to have multiple django apps in the same django project

you usually use the INSTALLED_APPS setting to add dependencies even

anyone know how to profile gunicorn for memory leaks

#

every time a graph operation is done and the memcache needs updating, the memory usage increases by a few percent
but the memory usage of the actual memcached server does not increase

#

memory graph for when cache needs updating and when it doesnt

📎 unknown.png

#

currently my only way of getting memory usage back to normal is restarting gunicorn

#

ok scrap that cache thing

#

the increase seems to be completely unpredicatable

#

after restarting with caching completely disabled (not even imported), this still happens so it can't be a caching issue

📎 unknown.png

meager anchor Jul 14, 2018, 10:16 PM

are you recycling your workers?

little nexus Jul 15, 2018, 9:53 AM

config file

📎 main_config.conf

#

im on the latest 19.9 gunicorn

meager anchor Jul 15, 2018, 12:39 PM

#

I see. You can try using max_requests to recycle workers after a given amount of requests: http://docs.gunicorn.org/en/latest/settings.html#max-requests

little nexus Jul 15, 2018, 12:52 PM

#

hmm is that my only option really?

#

then i would have to redo my logging system, although it wouldnt be too hard
the 100% cpu (on one core per worker) for 20 secs of restarting a worker is a big deal

meager anchor Jul 15, 2018, 1:16 PM

#

20 seconds? when i send TTIN to my master on well, a smaller website, it barely takes two and the cpu is at like 20% at most

#

i use the sync worker though

little nexus Jul 15, 2018, 1:19 PM

#

my server is a potato

#

1.3GHz 4 core arm processor

#

and some HUGE imports

#

aka the whole dash library

#

which is massive

meager anchor Jul 15, 2018, 1:20 PM

#

ah

little nexus Jul 15, 2018, 1:20 PM

#

and 2GB total memory

#

which is why this is such a big probelm XD

meager anchor Jul 15, 2018, 1:21 PM

#

well, mine has a single core and 1 GB of memory, so thinkmon , but I think there's an option to preload the application which should help with worker boot times: http://docs.gunicorn.org/en/stable/settings.html#preload-app

little nexus Jul 15, 2018, 1:21 PM

#

ooh

#

that sounds like that might help

#

By preloading an application you can save some RAM resources as well bonus

#

that helped hugely with cpu time on start

#

it didn't make it much faster

#

but only thrashes one core now

#

big memory savings too

📎 unknown.png

#

only idling at 30% ram now

#

when i set the max requests, what type of request does that account for?

#

for GET and POST?

meager anchor Jul 15, 2018, 1:32 PM

#

that i'm not quite sure about, but i'd guess all requests

little nexus Jul 15, 2018, 1:33 PM

#

damn

#

that's a problem them

#

due to the nature of my website (and it's bad coding), a lot of post requests get sent that are very small and the amount of these depends on things like if a user logs in. the only requests that actually cause the memory leak is the graph request, and so if a user logs in, changes a few things and then closes the tab, that might be enough to trigger a worker reset even if no etrxa ram has been used

#

maybe i can devise some kind of script to send SIGHUP upon high memory usage?

#

the extra memory uysage is by process

Is there a way to make it so that if a person goes to a certain webpage in flask the .ico file shows that specific item, for exmaple
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="{{ url_for('static', filename='{{weapon}}.ico') }}">
I tried this but it doesn't seem to work.

mental chasm Jul 15, 2018, 5:33 PM

#

is weapon defined different for each person?

#

And what didnt work about it?

fossil lotus Jul 15, 2018, 5:34 PM

#

I've put the .ico file in the static folder, and yes weapon does work because the title of the webpage is working

#

I just want it so that if they go to /soma then the .ico will be a soma

mental chasm Jul 15, 2018, 5:37 PM

#

Alright, so what happens instead?

fossil lotus Jul 15, 2018, 5:38 PM

#

I get this https://i.mightylordx.tk/9n9nvmfj.png instead of the ico showing up

mental chasm Jul 15, 2018, 5:41 PM

#

Does it say anything in the console about it not being found?

fossil lotus Jul 15, 2018, 5:41 PM

#

No it's only showing me the GET requests from me refreshing the page

mental chasm Jul 15, 2018, 5:42 PM

#

i meant your browser sorry

fossil lotus Jul 15, 2018, 5:43 PM

#

Console is fine but it doesn't seem to be under sources

mental chasm Jul 15, 2018, 5:44 PM

#

What is the link to the site?

fossil lotus Jul 15, 2018, 5:44 PM

#

It's a locally hosted one rn

mental chasm Jul 15, 2018, 5:45 PM

#

right

fossil lotus Jul 15, 2018, 5:46 PM

#

If there is no way to do that I don't mind making only one ico

mental chasm Jul 15, 2018, 5:47 PM

#

Well i cant really see a reason why it wouldnt work

#

which is why i wanted to see the web inspector

fossil lotus Jul 15, 2018, 5:48 PM

Hey guys how does Jinja2 (FLASK) deal with passing arrays of tuples into JS?

#

does it just turnout as an array with arrays in it, in the JS?

native tide Jul 16, 2018, 12:10 AM

#

Flask fucking dies, so you have to turn tuples into lists

topaz bluff Jul 16, 2018, 1:56 AM

#

hey

brave mantle Jul 16, 2018, 6:37 AM

#

@native tide It doesn't handle passing anything into js

#

You need to convert it to json yourself

native tide Jul 16, 2018, 10:04 AM

#

@brave mantle no you usually dont

#

It has a templating engine called jinja2

#

You can literally pass python values into js values

#

I got it to work by passing a list filled with lists

#

Which gets rendered into an array of arrays in JS

kind steppe Jul 16, 2018, 10:12 AM

#

No you are using jinja2 to render a JavaScript-like variable from python, it is just text, jinja prepares the template and you substitute a value into the JavaScript before it runs, therefore you don’t actually ever touch the JS with jinja

#

Of course flask will die when you pass in a tuple because you JavaScript does not have tuples, you are passing in a string of the python representation of a tuple but JavaScript does not know how to interpret it

#

In fact that shouldn’t even kill flask, it is a front end issue, so that’s probably another error

deep cave Jul 16, 2018, 11:32 AM

#

I don't think you should be using jinja like that. like joseph says, it's just because jinja will generate text that happens to be valid javascript if you make a list of lists and fill it with valuetypes that javascript accepts

#

like yeah, a list of lists full of strings will be fine

#

but most python objects will not

#

what you should do instead is pass a json string to the jinja in the first place.

brave mantle Jul 16, 2018, 11:34 AM

#

it'll work if you convert the object to json before you output it to the template

#

that was the point I was making, yeah

deep cave Jul 16, 2018, 11:34 AM

#

yeah

brave mantle Jul 16, 2018, 11:34 AM

#

things "working" coincidentally aren't really a good model for stability

deep cave Jul 16, 2018, 11:34 AM

#

yep. it's a hack. it's an antipattern.

#

thankfully it's just one extra line of code to pass it in as json

#

and when you convert to json, it'll change those tuples into arrays for you.

#

much more consistent

native tide Jul 16, 2018, 2:04 PM

#

I see fair point, I thought the whole point of a template engine like that in flask was to pass along variables from python to JS etc...

brave mantle Jul 16, 2018, 2:08 PM

Probably the signing authority doesn't exist in your certificate store

Maybe your python is out of date

dry portal Jul 16, 2018, 2:08 PM

dry portal Jul 16, 2018, 2:13 PM

Not afaik

brave mantle Jul 16, 2018, 2:13 PM

#

So it's a paid cert?

dry portal Jul 16, 2018, 2:13 PM

#

Yup

#

I work at the provider's sister company so got it all on the cheap

brave mantle Jul 16, 2018, 2:14 PM

#

Essentially what's happening here

#

Is that the certificate signing authority has a provider cert that should be trusted by default by the OS

#

So the OS can go, hey, they definitely signed this cert, so the cert is good

dry portal Jul 16, 2018, 2:15 PM

#

Right

brave mantle Jul 16, 2018, 2:15 PM

#

It sounds like whatever machine this client script is running on is missing that cert

#

which is weird, because.. comodo

dry portal Jul 16, 2018, 2:16 PM

I had to reset the machine a while ago and regenerate the keyfile and stuff

Could it have something to do with the request type?

brave mantle Jul 16, 2018, 2:18 PM

it's a protocol-level thing

brave mantle Jul 16, 2018, 3:14 PM

cat domain_com.crt domain_com.ca-bundle > ssl-bundle.crt

that should be all you need

then use ssl-bundle.crt as your cert

You need to convert it to json yourself

SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file("/etc/ssl/www.dobbybot.com.key") failed (SSL: error:0B080074:x509 certificate routines:X509_check_private_key:key values mismatch) nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed

#

Has something to do with the CA bundle

#

Reverted to the old CRT and it's working fine

#

Aghhh

#

Aaaaand I fixed it @brave mantle

#

Wanna know what the issue was?

#

Using cat didn't put a line break in where one needed to be

#

So -----END CERTIFICATE----- and -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- were on the same line, which NGINX did not like whatsoever

#

Thanks again for all the help though, appreciate ya

little nexus Jul 16, 2018, 4:39 PM

#

also you can do nginx -t to test config and nginx -s reload to reload

wispy lion Jul 16, 2018, 5:07 PM

Not sure where I should ask this question, but anyways.

I'm aiming to create a website that "sort of" acts like a refined search engine. Pretty much, the user searches for something, and instead of returning URL's, it's job is to provide the data from a number of sites that a normal google search would bring up.

I know I can easily do this with a python program, but I'm not sure where to start as I want to make it into a website, and I believe embedding python into websites etc is not practical.

Any tips of where I should start, what I need to learn etc would be greatly appreciated, Thanks
Please @ me in your reply.

pearl kite Jul 16, 2018, 5:09 PM

#

You could tap into the Google API, to perform the search; then you could pull data from the result sites and generate a page with it using requests and Beautiful Soup, and serve it with Flask.

little nexus Jul 16, 2018, 5:30 PM

#

@wispy lion tagging you as asked, not my response though ^^

buoyant ledge Jul 16, 2018, 6:57 PM

#

Well the problem about creating refined results like you want @wispy lion is that you need to understand what exactly the user is requesting. This requires some type of processing, now you have NLTK and a few others to help, but this is for sure not a very beginner type problem.

#

Assuming I'm understanding correctly, instead of say googling for "who won the lakers game" you want to return like the actual score of the lakers

wispy lion Jul 16, 2018, 10:38 PM

#

@buoyant ledge Yeah pretty much

#

@pearl kite Thanks

#

@buoyant ledge, Not sure how exactly NLTK works, but I was thinking more, the user types whatever they want to search, then the website does the search for them, but instead of providing URL'S, it gets the data within. So (if I'm correct in saying that NLTK is used for understanding human language) instead of that <--. It is more basic and will fetch only what the user clearly searched for. So, if it's worded poorly, like any other google search, then the results will be limited as such.

buoyant ledge Jul 16, 2018, 10:43 PM

#

Fair enough

wispy lion Jul 16, 2018, 10:44 PM

#

@buoyant ledge Like Lord Greywether would you agree Flask is what I'm looking for?

buoyant ledge Jul 16, 2018, 10:45 PM

#

Flask or Django will do fine. The http framework you use probably won’t super matter. The logic behind it is gonna be the key

wispy lion Jul 16, 2018, 10:45 PM

#

Aight, thanks

Hey guys, I'm using VSCode to go through Django tutorial i found and I'm getting errors on line

#

<div class="row pt-3" onclick="window.location='{% url 'detail' product.id %}';" style="cursor: pointer;">

#

';' expected.

code works fine on webpage so i suppose this is some false error detection

any idea how to make VSCode to ignore it?

Hi @pearl kite Ok thanks 😃

Currently trying to figure out the following: trying to automate generating a HTTPS certificate with nginx and certbot. I need to first add the HTTP configuration necessary to serve the challenge, and then I need to add the HTTPS configuration. I see two possibilities: Separating the HTTP and HTTPS configs in two files (e.g. sites-available/http/example.com.conf and sites-available/https/example.com.conf) or first adding a file with only the HTTP config and after getting the certificate replacing it with the fully fledged config. What's better?

#

Or maybe there's a better naming scheme for HTTP and HTTPS vhosts?

#

Also, what are some common practices for naming site configs?

brave mantle Jul 17, 2018, 6:04 PM

#

I have both server blocks in a single file

#

It just works.

meager anchor Jul 17, 2018, 6:19 PM

#

it works, but it doesn't if you dont have your cert yet

#

i want to automate the entire process

#

went with two separated configs

deep cave Jul 17, 2018, 6:20 PM

#

can I ask why?

meager anchor Jul 17, 2018, 6:20 PM

#

don't have anything to do right now :P

deep cave Jul 17, 2018, 6:20 PM

#

certbot already renews them for you. why automate such a trivial thing

meager anchor Jul 17, 2018, 6:20 PM

#

Renewal isn't the issue, but the initial retrieval is

deep cave Jul 17, 2018, 6:20 PM

#

yeah but that's a one-time thing :D

#

anyway okay

#

carry on

meager anchor Jul 17, 2018, 6:20 PM

#

👌

brave mantle Jul 17, 2018, 6:29 PM

#

Works for me @meager anchor

#

Even without the certs

#

Maybe your nginx is out of date

meager anchor Jul 17, 2018, 6:29 PM

#

Pretty sure nginx errors if you give it a cert that isn't present

brave mantle Jul 17, 2018, 6:29 PM

#

Nope, mine doesn't even complain

#

I think it used to, but mine doesn't.

meager anchor Jul 17, 2018, 6:29 PM

#

$ sudo nginx -t

#

Well I'm not at my machine

#

Sec

#

1.14.0

meager anchor Jul 17, 2018, 6:31 PM

#

so you changed the cert path in an enabled vhost and nginx -t doesn't complain?

brave mantle Jul 17, 2018, 6:32 PM

#

I don't reload with nginx -t

#

I reload with systemctl reload nginx

meager anchor Jul 17, 2018, 6:32 PM

#

nginx -t isn't for reloading

brave mantle Jul 17, 2018, 6:32 PM

#

It's for testing, yes

meager anchor Jul 17, 2018, 6:33 PM

#

I guess nginx errors when you visit the HTTPS page then, though?

brave mantle Jul 17, 2018, 6:33 PM

#

Yeah, the test fails, but nginx still reloads

meager anchor Jul 17, 2018, 6:33 PM

#

I see

brave mantle Jul 17, 2018, 6:33 PM

#

It must be working because otherwise I wouldn't be able to get my certs

#

Gotta cook, afk

meager anchor Jul 17, 2018, 6:34 PM

#

👍

#

my nginx doesn't reload with invalid cert paths either

little nexus Jul 17, 2018, 7:02 PM

#

nginx -t does not reload

#

just runs a test on config

#

ngins -s reload reloads

meager anchor Jul 17, 2018, 7:06 PM

#

and where did i imply that it did

#

🤔

#

you didn't

gritty carbon Jul 17, 2018, 8:27 PM

#

what is the best way to deploy your django project on VPS like Digital Ocean?

meager anchor Jul 17, 2018, 8:41 PM

#

Install nginx, set up your app with gunicorn, create a systemd service file for running it through gunicorn (and the yourproject.wsgi) module, and then in nginx, use ```nginx
server {
# ...

location / {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:5000;
}

}

where `5000` is the port that gunicorn listens on

#

alternatively you can use a unix socket

#

digitalocean probably has a guide for this..

deep cave Jul 17, 2018, 9:54 PM

#

seconding this method.

#

excellent way to do it.

native tide Jul 17, 2018, 10:01 PM

#

hey

#

i was wondering, is it possible to decode base64 without saving it to file?

kind steppe Jul 17, 2018, 10:02 PM

#

Python has a base64 module

#

>>> import base64
>>> base64.b64encode(b"Hello world")
b'SGVsbG8gd29ybGQ='
>>> base64.b64decode(b'SGVsbG8gd29ybGQ=')
b'Hello world'

#

You do need to pass in the arguments as bytes instead of str's though though

native tide Jul 17, 2018, 10:03 PM

#

could i then send it as an image?

kind steppe Jul 17, 2018, 10:04 PM

#

Could you explain what you are trying to do?

native tide Jul 17, 2018, 10:04 PM

#

oh nm i've just reallised something

#

im developing a telegram bot

#

it requires a path to be passed through for images

#

i need to save it in order for that to work

kind steppe Jul 17, 2018, 10:04 PM

#

hmm

#

It is probably possible

#

if you could provide me with the documentation for the library I can take a look

#

Also

#

this is not really a web development related subject

native tide Jul 17, 2018, 10:05 PM

#

oh

#

i wasn't really sure where to put it

#

i thought so because of base64 and stuff

#

where would this belong?

debian VM on azure, tried webapp first but that doesnt support python 3.7
i did read something about wsgi but ouldnt really get it up and running

strange thorn Jul 18, 2018, 9:12 AM

#

You could use gunicorn as your wsgi server

#

Or go one step further and use gunicorn + nginx as reverse proxy

#

But gunicorn standalone should be enough

#

It's really not hard

buoyant ledge Jul 18, 2018, 9:14 AM

#

I use nginx and uwsgi for my Django server. It took a bit to setup but there’s a ton of documentation on it

meager anchor Jul 18, 2018, 9:19 AM

#

it's recommended to use gunicorn behind a reverse proxy though

#

and the website itself reads strongly advise you to use nginx.

keen ore Jul 18, 2018, 9:27 AM

#

why should i use reverse proxy?

jade egret Jul 18, 2018, 9:39 AM

#

To try and limit dos attacks I suppose

brave mantle Jul 18, 2018, 9:44 AM

#

It's a separation of both concerns and jobs

#

Nginx is far better at serving static files than your webapp is

#

Also, gunicorn will generally have a pool of workers that nginx will have to load balance over instead of just a single socket

meager anchor Jul 18, 2018, 9:47 AM

#

gunicorn doesn't support http2 either: https://github.com/benoitc/gunicorn/issues/1195

a dumb script doing git pull, pipenv install, pipenv run python manage.py migrate, pipenv run python manage.py collectstatic --noinput and then restarting the gunicorn service would probably do the trick, but that's probably not a good idea

you don't need to restart gunicorn, you can tell it to reload and it will gracefully stop and start new workers, IIRC

potent nebula Jul 19, 2018, 2:35 AM

#

I have a flask script to run it as a service, when I opened the exe, it works manually, but when I start it with the service it does not respond to requests.

#

I use pyinstaller to generate the exe with these parameters --onefile --windowed

rigid turtle Jul 19, 2018, 2:38 AM

#

Windows service?

#

Can you share any code? https://paste.pydis.com

i set pathexe with binary (exe)

rigid turtle Jul 19, 2018, 2:44 AM

#

Where is flask getting started?

#

Is that the "serviceweb.exe"?

potent nebula Jul 19, 2018, 2:44 AM

#

yes

#

i compile the script

rigid turtle Jul 19, 2018, 2:45 AM

#

So it works on it's own when you run it, but it doesn't work when the service starts it?

potent nebula Jul 19, 2018, 2:45 AM

#

I can not install anything, more than a service as executable, I'm limited

ok

potent nebula Jul 19, 2018, 2:46 AM

#

"So it works on it's own when you run it, but it doesn't work when the service starts it?(edited) "

#

exactly

rigid turtle Jul 19, 2018, 2:48 AM

#

So, does the service keep running after main(self) returns?

#

If it doesn't, then the flask server would also stop running

#

Also, have you made sure serviceweb.exe is getting started and is running?

#

(Look in task manager maybe)

potent nebula Jul 19, 2018, 2:50 AM

#

Yes, I do, but it's not there

#

I've done it before, but not with flask, maybe it's the output generated by flask when starting?

potent nebula Jul 19, 2018, 3:13 AM

#

will the visit be from the browser?

granite wigeon Jul 19, 2018, 3:14 AM

#

yea i do not want people sitting on that page if they visit it from there, i want to redirect them back to the index

im fine with api calls from clients, just dont need anyone visiting the page since there isnt anything there

@potent nebula for your pyinstaller question are you sure the service is finding and starting the .exe correctly?

@queen needle i tried to do that but it was ignored

#

i made a view just for redirecting anyone that lands on the api page but maybe i missed something

queen needle Jul 19, 2018, 2:29 PM

#

url_for?

granite wigeon Jul 19, 2018, 2:30 PM

#

def redirectapi():
    return redirect(url_for('views.index'))```
@queen needle

#

the route would be http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/key/keycodeishere

queen needle Jul 19, 2018, 2:59 PM

#

That looks like it should work... But I'm also just coming back home and I'm tired 😅

#

What does it return anyway? Is the raw source completely blank or what does it do?

granite wigeon Jul 19, 2018, 3:04 PM

#

returns json info if i have the api unprotected

queen needle Jul 19, 2018, 3:07 PM

#

So not a Flask error

#

Tbh that endpoint looks so simple that I can't find a hole. It should return a 302 towards the url for views.index

#

However, if that's an api endpoint and not a web page, whatever you're using as a client should also handle that 302

granite wigeon Jul 19, 2018, 3:13 PM

#

yea its an api endpoint

#

so i should return a 302 via the api when the content type is text/html?

queen needle Jul 19, 2018, 3:15 PM

#

Um, if the content type is text/html (aka you're displaying an html page to a browser) then return redirect is how it's done

#

If you're trying to redirect a REST client with application/json, then the http response code should be 302 and your json should include the url... I dunno what the standard is in that case though

#

So you should return jsonify({stuff including the redirect url}), 302 I think

ill give that a try real quick

However: redirects in REST api do no make much sense usually

granite wigeon Jul 19, 2018, 3:20 PM

#

i just didnt want people visiting the rest api endpoint from the browser and sitting on the page, id if i have to redirect from something like ngix or if i should just get over it

queen needle Jul 19, 2018, 3:20 PM

#

I cannot really find a standard for this. The Q&As I've found usually tell that you should configure your web server to rewrite the url

granite wigeon Jul 19, 2018, 3:21 PM

#

yea i couldnt find much for it either

queen needle Jul 19, 2018, 3:22 PM

#

I think you should just ignore it

#

There is nothing preventing a user from doing a GET on a rest api

granite wigeon Jul 19, 2018, 3:23 PM

#

yea ill do that for now and once i get the actual server up and running and not the flask server ill look into it again maybe

#

thanks for the help

#

Normally if you have some kind of authorisation for that api, you won't have to worry

granite wigeon Jul 19, 2018, 3:27 PM

#

yea i will set up one with jwt tokens

queen needle Jul 19, 2018, 3:28 PM

#

@granite wigeon you can do something by checking user-agent and http_x_requested_with maybe...

#

But all that stuff can be spoofed

#

It's pointless imho, if a user wants to call your rest api with a browser they should be allowed to

#

If you have oauth2 you'll be fine anyway

granite wigeon Jul 19, 2018, 3:29 PM

#

yea i agree it was just a minor thing that i got distracted with last night

keen ore Jul 19, 2018, 3:29 PM

#

does this

{{form.developer.label(class_="btn details btn-primary") {{form.developer}} }}

output something like

<label class="btn details btn-primary" style="margin-left:1px;margin-right:1px;">Developer
            <input type="checkbox">
</label>

Hehe I understand, it's good to be curious about it anyway. Flask can do a lot of things once you start using your own response/request classes

#

@keen ore if that's jinja, I don't think you can nest tags

keen ore Jul 19, 2018, 3:30 PM

#

hmm

queen needle Jul 19, 2018, 3:30 PM

#

But the answer is to try

#

😁

#

If you'd allow me a comment, though

#

Why not use <label for="your_input">?

#

#

You needn't nest input inside your label

keen ore Jul 19, 2018, 3:33 PM

#

the label is used more to make the

#

those are checkboxes

#

well the checkbox is invisible as the label is used to make the look

queen needle Jul 19, 2018, 3:34 PM

#

I see, a button-group?

keen ore Jul 19, 2018, 3:35 PM

#

?

queen needle Jul 19, 2018, 3:35 PM

#

Are you using bootstrap?

keen ore Jul 19, 2018, 3:35 PM

#

yes

queen needle Jul 19, 2018, 3:36 PM

#

Ye I was checking it and it's indeed putting the input inside labels

#

Honestly I'd just type out the label tags

#

You can access the label title from the field attribute

#

I'm trying to look whether there's a way you can do it...

keen ore Jul 19, 2018, 3:39 PM

#

im making this in a way that i need to touch the html as little as possible after launching so that all text can be edited on configs

queen needle Jul 19, 2018, 3:39 PM

You could write a jinja2 macro that does it for you
