Form sending error, Flask


As @Blubber points out, the issue is that Flask raises an HTTP error when it fails to find a key in the args and form dictionaries. What Flask assumes by default is that if you are asking for a particular key and it's not there then something got left out of the request and the entire request is invalid.

There are two other good ways to deal with your situation:

  1. Use request.form's .get method:

    if request.form.get('add', None) == "Like":    # Like happenedelif request.form.get('remove', None) == "Dislike":    # Dislike happened
  2. Use the same name attribute for both submit elements:

    <input type="submit" name="action" value="Like"><input type="submit" name="action" value="Dislike"># and in your codeif request.form["action"] == "Like":    # etc.


You should be checking whether or not the 'add' and 'remove' keys are in the request.form dict.

if request.method == 'POST':    if 'add' in request.form:        return redirect(url_for('index'))    elif 'remove' in request.form:        return redirect(url_for('index'))

When you click Like it doesn't fail because the first condition is met, and hence the second is never checked. But if the Dislike button is clicked, that first condition will thrown a KeyError exception because request.form doesn't contain a key named 'add'.


Instead of <input type="submit"> Use <button type="submit">. I have the same error as you and tried soo many solution but none of that work
