Two route handlers get called












0














I have a simple Flask app which has two routes configured:



app = Flask(__name__)
app.route("/api/v1/foo")(api.bar)

@app.route('/')
@app.route('/<path:path>')
def view(path=None):
print 'BAZ'
return render_template('index.html')


api.bar is defined as



def bar():
return "BAR";


Now, running locally, and visiting http://localhost/api/v1/foo I will get the response I expect (just text BAR), but looking at the console, I see that BAZ was printed as well.



Shouldn't just the first matched route trigger? Or if this is expected, is there a way to specify the behaviour I need?

  • Actually, the order doesn't matter. I just tested it, and whatever the order is, I get the response defined with '/api/v1/foo', but other view also gets executed.

  • According to flask docs, path behaves exactly like string with one difference - it accepts slashes. In your situation (according to stackoverflow.com/questions/17759563/…) Werkzeug/Flask sorts the rules by complexity (amount of variables), taking the simplest routes first. Independent of the order you define the routes in. it should print only BAR. Please attach your logs.
