Enable debug mode in Flask in production mode

Question

In bottle all i have to do to enable debug mode is:

from bottle import debug

application = Bottle()
app = application
debug(True)

How can i do the same in Flask framework?

Answer 1

To enable the debug mode I would add the following code to the flask app:

app.config['ENV'] = 'development'
app.config['DEBUG'] = True
app.config['TESTING'] = True

I would also sugest setting environment variables for the environment and debug.

$ export FLASK_ENV=development 
$ export FLASK_DEBUG=1
