flask_apispec library makes Flask app to crash when use_kwargs decorator is used

I am building a Restful API in Python 3.8 using flask_restful, flask_apispec, and marshmallow. When I enable use_kwargs decorator my app is crushing on a POST with TypeError: post() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

I'd appreciate any help in solving this bug.

Thanks!

I had the same issue. The use_kwargs decorator will try to populate and inject the AwesomeRequestSchema object into the post() method: https://flask-apispec.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api_reference.html#flask_apispec.annotations.use_kwargs

To fix, replace

def post(self):

with

def post(self, populated_request_object):
