Error while creating databricks custom app

[Shivaprasad]

I am trying to create a simple databricks custom app but I am getting Error: Could not import 'app'. error.

app.yaml file

env:

 - name: FLASK_APP

   value: '/Workspace/Users/sam@xxx.com/databricks_apps/hello-world_2025_11_13-16_19/Gaap_commentry/app'

command: [

  "flask",

  "app.py",

  "run"

]

Looks like it's not able to locate the app. How I can fix the import error

Seems like you are combining a file path for FLASK_APP with running a file using command. When FLASK_APP is set to a full path, Flask expects that path to point to a Python file (e.g., app.py) or package that contains the application instance.

​Correct FLASK_APP and command

​Adjust your app.yaml file to only point FLASK_APP to the directory containing your main Python file (app.py), and then set the command to run the file directly

Thanks, I have modified the yaml file but still getting Error: Could not import 'app'   error

env:

  - name: FLASK_APP

    value: '/Workspace/Users/xxx@zzz.com/databricks_apps/hello-world_2025_11_13-16_19/Gaap_commentry'

command: [

  "flask",

  "--app",

  "app.py",

  "run"

  ]
