Debug

Known issues

breakingInvenio-Base dropped support for Python 3.6 and earlier. Requires Python >=3.7.

fix

Upgrade Python to 3.7+ or pin to invenio-base<2.0.0 if stuck on Python 2.7/3.6.

affects: >=2.0.0

breakingInvenio-Base 2.0.0 removed the deprecated invenio_base.helpers module. Code depending on helpers must be updated.

fix

Remove imports from invenio_base.helpers; use standard library or Flask helpers instead.

affects: >=2.0.0

gotchaThe create_app function requires an InvenioBase subclass, not an instance. Passing an instance will raise a TypeError.

fix

Ensure you pass the class (not an instance) to create_app.

affects: all
