ImportError: cannot import name 'escape' from 'jinja2'

[SteffRainville]

pip installed excalbur-py under Python 3.10.4 in Windows 11

Had the configparser error
Upgraded to 5.2.0 as described in issue 151

Now have ImportError: cannot import name 'escape' from 'jinja2' error when trying to "excalibur initdb"

SOLUTION

Upgrade flask 1 to Flask V2

Go to this file
excalibur\venv\Lib\site-packages\excalibur\www\views.py

Change this line

from werkzeug import secure_filename
to
from werkzeug.utils import secure_filename

How do you upgrade to flask v2?

[SteffRainville]

Modify the requirements.txt file
Flask==2.1.1

[alesrosina]

You can also do

pip install flask -U

And that should work.

hi

I applied the suggested changes with and fixed some other issues here in #183

while a was at it, I dockerized the app so we can just
docker compose up --build to start the app

it not perfect but at least can use the app
