I've built a Python/Flask based REST API using the connexion module. This working well as defining the REST API with with swagger.yml file works very well. The application is running, but when I navigate to <my-app-url>/ui
all I get in my browser is this:
I haven't disabled the UI, so I'm not sure what's going on and why the UI isn't being displayed. My application doesn't have a /static folder (it's only an API), so the app isn't serving any static files, not sure if that's related to the problem or not.
What am I doing wrong?
Here is a simplified example of my code:
# 3rd party libraries
from flask_cors import CORS
import connexion
def create_app(config_key, instance_config=None):
# create the connexion instance
connex_app = connexion.FlaskApp(__name__, specification_dir='./files/swagger/')
connex_app.server = 'gevent'
# get the Flask app instance
app = connex_app.app
# configure the application
app.config.from_object(config_key)
# add CORS support to application
CORS(app)
# define the API with the SWAGGER API definition YAML file
connex_app.add_api('line_controller_api.yml',
base_path='{url_prefix}'.format(url_prefix=app.config.get('URL_PREFIX', '/')),
resolver=AppResolver())
return connex_app
def production_app(instance_config=None):
app = create_app('api_config.ProductionConfig', instance_config)
return app
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = create_app('api_config.DevelopmentConfig')
port = 5001
logger.info('Line Controller API running on port %s', port)
app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=port)
I had the same problem. I solved it with
