Return custom error code

[royassis]

Hey

I'm trying to return a custom error code as shown here:
https://flask-restful.readthedocs.io/en/latest/extending.html?highlight=errors#define-custom-error-messages
At the bottom of at the page.

Here is a snippet from my code:

from flask import Flask, Response
from flask_restful import Resource, Api, reqparse, abort

class SamplesNotFound(HTTPException):
    pass

error_dict = {
        "SamplesNotFound": {
        'message': "No samples found for these features.",
        'status': 522,
    }
}

class Index(Resource):
   def get(self):
      abort(522)

app = Flask(__name__)
api = Api(app, errors=errors.error_dict)

api.add_resource(Index, '/index')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=5000, debug=False)

I get a 500 error code on the response instead of 522.
+
I want to get a json in the response and I get a string.

Please help

Best,
Roy

Use raise SamplesNotFound() in place of abort(522).

P.S. Make sure you're passing errors_dict to the Api constructor. Your snippet has it written as errors.error_dict, which doesn't exist.
