View Function Did Not Return A Response

I want to send a query to mysql and fetch an array. But however I do it I cannot make it work. Here's my code: @app.route('/auth',methods=['GET','POST']) def auth(): username

Solution 1:

Flask throws this exception because your auth view didn't return anything. Return a response from your auth view:

return'Some response'

To return the MySQL results, perhaps join the rows together into one string:

cur.execute("SELECT * FROM tbl_user WHERE username = '%s' " % username)
return'\n'.join([', '.join(r) for r in cur])

or define a template and return the rendered template.

Note that you really do not want to use string interpolation for your username parameter, especially in a web application. Use SQL parameters instead:

cur.execute("SELECT * FROM tbl_user WHERE username = %s", (username,))

Now the database client will do the quoting for you and prevent SQL injection attacks. If you use string interpolation, this will happen.

(If this was a decent database (e.g. not MySQL) the database could take the now-generic SQL statement and create a query plan for it, then reuse the plan again and again as you execute that query multiple times; using string interpolation you'd prevent that.)
