You are not returning when PUT succees, so is always aborting(404). Like in the other HTTP verbs:
def put(self, id):
if checkUser(id):
args = self.reqparse.parse_args()
deleteUser(id) #Deletes user with this id
addUser(User(args['name'], args['email'], args['password'], args['role']))
# Missing return when succees
abort(404) # Always executing
EDIT: I have tested your example (with some extra code to make it work, like imports and removing specific code not implemented). This is my code:
from flask import Flask
from flask.ext.restful import Api, Resource
from flask.ext.restful import reqparse
app = Flask(__name__)
api = Api(app)
class UserAPI(Resource):
def __init__(self):
self.reqparse = reqparse.RequestParser()
self.reqparse.add_argument('name', type = str, required = True, help = "No name provided", location = 'json')
self.reqparse.add_argument('email', type = str, required = True, help = "No email provided", location = 'json')
self.reqparse.add_argument('password', type = str, required = True, help = "No password provided", location = 'json')
super(UserAPI, self).__init__()
def get(self, id):
if True: #Just checks to see if user with that id exists
return {"message": "You have GET me"}
abort(404)
def put(self, id):
if True:
return {"message": "You have PUT me"}
abort(404)
def delete(self, id):
deleteUser(id)
return { 'result': True}
class UserListAPI(Resource):
def __init__(self):
self.reqparse = reqparse.RequestParser()
self.reqparse.add_argument('name', type = str, required = True, help = "No name provided", location = 'json')
self.reqparse.add_argument('email', type = str, required = True, help = "No email provided", location = 'json')
self.reqparse.add_argument('password', type = str, required = True, help = "No password provided", location = 'json')
self.reqparse.add_argument('role', type = bool, default = 0, location = 'json')
super(UserListAPI, self).__init__()
def get(self):
return { 'users': map(lambda u: marshal(u, user_fields), getAllUsers()) }
def post(self):
print self.reqparse.parse_args()
args = self.reqparse.parse_args()
new_user = User(args['name'], args['email'], args['password'], args['role'])
addUser(new_user)
return {'user' : marshal(new_user, user_fields)}, 201
api.add_resource(UserAPI, '/api/user/<int:id>', endpoint = 'user')
api.add_resource(UserListAPI, '/api/users/', endpoint = 'users')
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run(debug=True)
And now I CURL it:
amegian@amegian-Ubuntu:~$ curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X PUT -d '{"name": "test2", "email":"test@test.com", "password":"testpass", "role": 0}' http://127.0.0.1:5000/api/user/2 -v

So I would encourage you to check those methods I have removed... like checkUser(id)
