🔒 Flask login manager

[worldly hazel]

Hi, in my flask initialization, I instantiate my login manager with py login_manager = LoginManager() login_manager.login_view = "login" login_manager.init_app(app)
with my views blueprint being registered py app.register_blueprint(views, url_prefix="/")
and in my views module, I have py @login_required @views.route("/account") def account(): return render_template("account.html", user=current_user) using the login_required decorator, I expect it to return the user to the login view, which it does not, instead it renders my account.html without the correct data as obviously the user is not authenticated

The docs have got the login_required and .route lines reversed. Not sure if that’s what your problem might be? As it might not actually be checking the login once it’s doing the route

@app.route('/post')
@login_required
def post():
    pass
