Flask printing html to console instead of redirecting

Question

I have this flask code in an auth blueprint:

 @auth.route('/login/',methods=['POST','GET'])
 def login():
      email         = request.form.get('email',type=str)
      password      = request.form.get('password',type=str)

      error = None
      if email != None and password != None:
           if verify_user(email,password):
               user = next((item for item in app.config['AUTHORIZED'] if item["email"] == email), None)
               session['name'] = user['name']

               flash("welcome " + session['name'] + '!')
               return redirect(url_for('admin.show'))

           error = "invalid credentials" 

      return render_template('auth/index.html',error=error)

and the following in an admin blueprint, which I am redirecting to from the login:

 @admin.route('/admin/',methods=['GET'])
 def show():
     if not 'name' in session:
         return abort(403)
     return render_template('admin/index.html')

However, when I successfully login, flask merely prints the html from admin/index.html to the javascript console in both Chrome and Firefox.

Since you mention the JS console, you're presumably making this request via Ajax. So your Ajax handler needs to do any redirection.

When you are requesting your form data from html, make sure that your button has the type="submit" instead of type="button". Changing this fixed the issue for me.

<form class="form-logIn" action="/logIn" method="post">
  <label for="email" class="sr-only">Email address</label>
  <input type="email" name="email" id="email" class="form-control" placeholder="Email address" required autofocus>
  <label for="password" class="sr-only">Password</label>
  <input type="password" name="password" id="password" class="form-control" placeholder="Password" required>

  <button id="btnLogIn" class="btn btn-lg btn-secondary btn-block" type="submit">Log In</button>
</form>
