Flask app wont run, error 98

Hi Folks,

New to creating snaps and I am having a bit of difficulty getting this up and running.

I am running into OSError: [Errno 98] Address already in use

when I run my snap, which runs a flask app.

Thanks for all your help and assistance!

Here is the output of the run:

That error sounds like another process is listening on the same port. You should try checking if any other process is listening on that port (whatever it is) with sudo lsof -i :$PORT_NUMBER.

Thanks for that tip!

after some CSI work, I found that as soon as I installed my snap, that port would already be taken up!

I didn’t actually had to run my snap, it runs automatically!

Thanks!
