I feel stupid to ask this here

I am getting this error in flask
view didn't return a valid response error. The function either returned None or ended without a return statement.

I'd check out the browser's development tools and see what request is it performing. The only way I see where a view might be returning None would be if the request method of /result wasn't a GET.

@ethernetzero it is GET
I checked that

@Ganofins Now, if your view only accepts GET requests, why checking for the request method inside of it? It should be GET or 405 Method Not Allowed all the time.

@ethernetzero does that really matter right now?

@Ganofins Removing the if would at least remove a branching path in your view that can result in it not returning anything. It's a start.

@ethernetzero actually before that I had both POST and GET in the methods argument, that's why it's there

@rooter yeah I am on debug mode and /result?junk=pony didn't help

1. Remove request type checking. Thats pointless as @ethernetzero.

2. Does browser redirects you to /result?

3. Try returning just "hello". Does it simply prints? I don't know flask. Just want to check if returning a value works like you expected.

4. Try request.args.get("junk")

@hack yes the browser redirects me to result

yes it prints hello

and args worked

Thanks :)

@Ganofins no problem :) just to clarify, a quick search revealed request.form is used for POST data and request.args is used for GET data. Just keep that in mind :)

@hack Thanks
