python - Sending Data from html to Flask -

so i'm trying send data html form python flask framework. here's example of html code i'm using

<form method=post action=/test> <input name=name value=austin type=hidden><input type=submit value="add notification"> 

and here's python flask i'm working with

 @app.route('/test', methods=('get', 'post') def test_page():     v = request.values.get('name')     return v 

i've tried many different request methods , can't seem work , 405 error. i'm not familiar flask web development or using post requests. if point me in correct direction that'd great!

you're posting endpoint, app.route default enables get. change app.route('/test') app.route('/test', methods=('get', 'post')), , you'll able access endpoint.

that 405 response you're getting method not allowed.

(unrelated issue, request.values.get['name'] should request.values.get('name').)
