Troubleshooting

If you encounter

ImportError: cannot import name 'safe_str_cmp' from 'werkzeug.security' (.../FlyingFox-Capstone/.venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/werkzeug/security.py)

some code must be added to import 'safe_str_cmp' using hmac due to the deprecation of 'safe_str_cmp'. Please find a working snippet here that can be added to the end of security.py

hmac 'safe_str_cmp' code

def safe_str_cmp(a: str, b: str) -> bool:
   """This function compares strings in somewhat constant time. This
   requires that the length of at least one string is known in advance.

   Returns `True` if the two strings are equal, or `False` if they are not.
   """

   if isinstance(a, str):
      a = a.encode("utf-8")  # type: ignore

   if isinstance(b, str):
      b = b.encode("utf-8")  # type: ignore

   return hmac.compare_digest(a, b)

 ```
