I am trying to import and call a function from my refactor file into my init file. However, when I attempt to call the function in one of the routes, I get this error in the terminal, "TypeError: show_state_locations() missing 1 required positional argument: 'test_code'"
Here is my code and how I am importing everything:
refactor
import requests
from privateinfo import key
def test_code(state, API_BASE_URL):
url = f'https://covid-19-testing.github.io/locations/{state.lower()}/complete.json'
res = requests.get(url)
testing_data = res.json()
latsLngs = {}
for obj in testing_data:
if obj["physical_address"]:
for o in obj["physical_address"]:
addy = o["address_1"]
city = o["city"]
phone = obj["phones"][0]["number"]
location = f'{addy} {city}'
res2 = requests.get(API_BASE_URL,
params={'key': key, 'location': location})
location_coordinates = res2.json()
lat = location_coordinates["results"][0]["locations"][0]["latLng"]["lat"]
lng = location_coordinates["results"][0]["locations"][0]["latLng"]["lng"]
latsLngs[location] = {'lat': lat, 'lng': lng, 'place': location, 'phone': phone}
init
from .refactor import test_code
@app.route('/location')
def show_state_locations(test_code):
"""Return selected state from drop down menu"""
state = request.args.get('state')
test_code(state, API_BASE_URL)
return render_template('location.html', latsLngs=latsLngs)
You are assuming that a name is persisted from one function call to its outer scope:
def f():
x = 1
f()
print(x)
NameError: name x is not defined
You need to return the value and assign the name to x in the calling scope for this to work
def f():
return 1
x = f()
x
1
Note that return x doesn't work either, because it's the value that's being returned, not the name:
def f():
x = 1
return x
f()
x
# NameError!
x = f()
x
1
The same is happening to latLng:
def test_code():
latLng = {}
test_code()
latLng = latLng
#NameError!
Change it to
def test_code():
latLng = {}
...
return latLng
latLng = test_code()
latLng = latLng
# no error
