How to connect cosmosDB using flask-mongoengine

I want to access my azure cosmosDB database using flask-mongoengine library.

I've tried to pass host uri in app.config['MONGODB_HOST'] but it's returning empty list from DB collections.

db= MongoEngine()
app.config['MONGODB_DB'] = 'DB_NAME'
app.config['MONGODB_HOST'] = 'mongodb://<username>:<password>@host:port/?ssl=true&replicaSet=replicaSetName'

db.init_app(app)
app.run(port=4001, debug=True)

While printing UserModel.objects(username=username) it shows empty list.

P.S. My db has UserModel which store username and passwords of the users.

Solution

  • I was able to solve it by passing the database_name in the URI instead of passing it in app.config

    Following worked for me:

    app.config['MONGODB_HOST'] = 'mongodb://<username>:<password>@host:port/DB_NAME?ssl=true&replicaSet=replicaSetName'
