Non existing path when setting up Flask to have separated configurations for each environment
It took me a while but I finally found it:
Flask doesn't like projects with
__init__.pyat root level, deletemyapp/__init__.py. This is the one located at the root folder:myapp├── __init__.py <--- DELETE...└── myapp ├── __init__.py <--- keep └── myapp.pyUse
$ export FLASK_APP=myapp/myapp.pyThe environment variable specifying the configuration should be the absolut path to it:
export APP_CONFIG_FILE="/home/user/myapp/config/development.py"
Now everything works \o/
