I am attempting to integrate the flask-authentication into my app, as @AnnMarieW demonstrated here I am trying to move all authentication lines of code into their own module including the callback. However, when I run this, I get the following error: An object was provided as `children` instead o…

@anarchocaps Check the layouts in your pages. I dont see anything in the two codes that you posted.

thanks, @jinnyzor . I went back and revised the question so that it has all the modules, including the layouts.

@anarchocaps I just ran your code and it seems like I am logging in and out, with navigation just fine. I installed all the packages afresh as well. What issues are you running into? The update_authentication_status is working fine for me and returning the login / logout respectively.

@anarchocaps , If this doesnt work, maybe try updating / reinstalling the packages.

my process (on windows 11): right click project folder > show more options > Git Bash Here $ python app.py Its the only way I know how… :slight_smile:

How were you running python from the Bash? It could have been an issue with how the path’s were working.
