Import from the main application to plankton

Question

I am writing an application with one plan. My application uses Flask-SQLAlchemy, so my project needs access to the main application db(created by Flask-SQLAlchemy) to create its own models.

However, when I try to get the object dbusing current_app.db, the checkbox causes the following error:

RuntimeError: working outside of application context

Here is my main one __init__.py:

from flask import Flask

from app.uploader import uploader

app = Flask(__name__)

from flask.ext.sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy
db = SQLAlchemy(app)

app.register_blueprint(uploader)

Here __init__.pyfrom my diagram uploader:

from flask import Blueprint

uploader = Blueprint('uploader', __name__,
    template_folder='templates')

from . import views
from .models import *

Here's the views.pydrawing in which the exception occurs:

from flask import (redirect, render_template, request, send_from_directory,
    session, current_app)
from flask.views import View
from werkzeug import secure_filename

print current_app.db # Exception happens here

And here is the stacktrace:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise RuntimeError('working outside of application context')
RuntimeError: working outside of application context

Just an attempted use from .. import dbdoes not work:

  File "runtests.py", line 11, in <module>
    import tests
  File "/home/plasmasheep/project/tests.py", line 14, in <module>

    from app.uploader import uploader

    from . import views
  File "/home/plasmasheep/project/app/uploader/views.py", line 17, in <module>
    from .. import db
ImportError: cannot import name db

Doesn't from app import db:

    import tests
  File "/home/plasmasheep/project/tests.py", line 14, in <module>

    from . import views

    from app import db
ImportError: cannot import name db
