I have a flask application, in one of its script commands I want to know what's the args passed to the Manager (not the command itself), how can I do that?
$ cat manage.py
#!/usr/bin/env python
from flask import Flask
from flask_script import Manager
app = Flask(__name__)
manager = Manager(app)
manager.add_option("-d", "--debug", dest="debug", action="store_true")
@manager.option('-n', '--name', dest='name', default='joe')
def hello(name):
# how can I know whether "-d|--debug" is passed in command line
print("hello", name)
if __name__ == "__main__":
manager.run()
If I run:
$ python manage.py --debug hello
I want to detect whether '--debug' is passed via command line args within the func of hello. I can't just change
manager.add_option("-d", "--debug", dest="debug", action="store_true")
to the decorator verion of:
@manager.option('-d', '--debug', action='store_true', dest='debug')
@manager.option('-n', '--name', dest='name', default='joe')
def hello(name, debug=False):
because '-d|--debug' is shared by many commands.
Global options are passed not to command, but to app-creating function.
See add-option docs.
For this to work, the manager must be initialized with a factory function rather than a Flask instance. Otherwise any options you set will be ignored.
So you need to do something like
app = Flask(__name__)
def init_manager(debug):
app.debug = debug
return app
manager = Manager(init_manager)
And then access app.debug
