Problem with WerkZeug version

[BiplabG]

The current version of WebShop (Commit: 64fa2a5) uses Flask 2.1.2 which uses WerkZeug library. WerkZeug recently released its new breaking version 3.x. Installation of WebShop installs the latest WerkZeug library which is incompatible with the current code.

How to replicate:

1. Clone the repo.
2. Run setup.sh
3. ./run_dev.sh

Error observed:

(.venv) bgautam@c430:~/webshop/WebShop$ ./run_dev.sh

ImportError: cannot import name 'url_quote' from 'werkzeug.urls' (/home/bgautam/webshop/.venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/werkzeug/urls.py)

QuickFix: Uninstall the WerkZeug and then install WerkZeug version 2.

pip uninstall Werkzeug
pip install Werkzeug==2.2.2
