尝试在Flask视图中实例化WTForms对象时出现“运行时错误：在应用程序上下文之外工作”

Question

所以我有一个像这样定义的表单：

class NewDashForm(Form):
    tabname = StringField('tabname', validators=[DataRequired(),Length(1,16)])
    title = StringField('title', validators=[DataRequired(),Length(1,128)])

我在我的views.py文件中导入它，但当我尝试像这样实例化它：

form = NewDashForm()

我得到“在应用程序上下文之外工作”错误。应用程序由“工厂”方法生成，如下所示：

def generate_application(config=None):
   application = Flask(__name__)
   application.config.from_object(config)
   application.register_blueprint(cheda.generate_blueprint(application.config,application.db))
   return application

我在最后一段代码片段中遗漏了一些与数据库相关的内容，但是你明白了。根据我的理解，视图中发生的任何事情都应该自动处于应用程序上下文中，但显然我遗漏了一些东西。我在这做错了什么？

您应该只在视图功能中实例化表单，在请求之外这样做是没有意义的。您收到错误是因为它正在尝试从请求中获取数据，而该数据不存在。

如果您确实需要事先实例化它，请将空数据传递给它，以便它不查看请求，或使用请求上下文。

from werkzeug.datastructrues import MultiDict
form = MyForm(MultiDict())

# or

with app.test_request_context():
    form = MyForm()

同样，您永远不应该在您的应用程序中执行此操作，表单仅在请求期间在视图中有用。如果要在单元测试中测试表单，测试请求上下文将非常有用。
