I faced an error while running the flask backend code in Docker. The error was
importerror: cannot import name url_quote from werkzeug.urls
Solution:
First solution:
I encountered a similar issue stemming from the release of Werkzeug 3.0.0. The problem arises due to Flask not accurately specifying the dependency in its requirements (which currently states Werkzeug>=2.2.0). Consequently, Werkzeug 3.0.0 gets installed, and Flask 2.2.2 isn’t designed to work with Werkzeug 3.0.0.
To resolve this, simply specify a fixed version for Werkzeug in your requirements.txt, like Werkzeug==2.2.2, and the problem should be resolved.
Second solution:
The underlying issue stems from the removal of previously deprecated code in Werkzeug 3.0.0
To address this, it’s essential to update your Flask version, given that Flask 2.2.2 is no longer supported.
If, for any reason, you must continue using a deprecated version of Flask, you should manually set a specific version for Werkzeug. Alternatively, if your code relies on url_quote, consider switching to the built-in urllib module as follows:
from urllib.parse import quote as url_quote
This adjustment ensures compatibility with the changes introduced in Werkzeug 3.0.0 while maintaining functionality in your code.
