If you need to specify a different action attribute in your form you can’t use the next parameter provided by Flask-Login. I’d recommend anyways to put the endpoint instead of the url into the url parameter since it is easier to validate. Here’s some code from the application I’m working on, maybe this can help … Read more
The problem is different request contexts. In your normal Flask application, each request creates a new context which will be reused through the whole chain until creating the final response and sending it back to the browser. When you create and run Flask tests and execute a request (e.g. self.client.post(…)) the context is discarded after … Read more
If following does not work: from flask.ext.login import LoginManager try the following: from flask_login import LoginManager This is the new convention. To find the flask-login version, you can run the following command in terminal. Just change the name to know the version of other packages. pip show flask-login

I’m surprised no on has answered this question. It seems like there should be some type of config variable SESSION_PERMANENT = True. But unfortunately there isn’t. As you mentioned this is the best way to do it. @app.before_request def make_session_permanent(): session.permanent = True
This is very simple in flask: from flask_login import current_user @app.route(…) def main_route(): if current_user.is_authenticated: return render_template(“main_for_user.html”) else: return render_template(“main_for_anonymous.html”) See the documentation on anonymous users.
g is a thread local and is per-request (See A Note On Proxies). The session is also a thread local, but in the default context is persisted to a MAC-signed cookie and sent to the client. The problem that you are running into is that session is rebuilt on each request (since it is sent … Read more
Flask-login doesn’t actually have a user backend, it just handles the session machinery to help you login and logout users. You have to tell it (by decorating methods), what represents a user and it is also up to you to figure out how to know if a user is “active” or not (since being “active” … Read more
