Fix: error request is not defined

Author: Javi-CD.
Date: 2025-09-24


These snippets should be added to automatically import the request function when used so that the error doesn't occur.


Undefined name "request"


Example

  • Error case

    # fsup (Snippet)
      
    from werkzeug.utils import secure_filename
    
    @app.route('/upload', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
    def upload_file():
        if request.method == 'POST':  # -> Error: Undefined name Request
            f = request.files['the_file'] # -> Error: Undefined name Request
            f.save('/path/to/save/' + secure_filename(f.filename))
  • Solution

    # fsup (Snippet)
      
    from flask import request # Solution -> Import request
    from werkzeug.utils import secure_filename
    
    @app.route('/upload', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
    def upload_file():
        if request.method == 'POST':  
            f = request.files['the_file'] 
            f.save('/path/to/save/' + secure_filename(f.filename))

Importance

  • Ensure the snippet works from the start and avoid errors in the future.
  • Maintains integrity.
  • Ensures snippets are consistent

Conclusion

Even though it's a minor error, it can cause some confusion if the user doesn't notice it immediately, so handling it wouldn't be a bad idea.
It's a pleasure to contribute this information to the package. Don't hesitate to contact me if you need me.
