I have the exact same issue. Downgrading does not help!

Also seeing this issue, anyone found a solution?

[pgrzesik]

@victorstefan13 what version of Flask are you using? Some of them requires werkzeug to be installed separately

[victorstefan13]

Hey @pgrzesik I am using Flask version 2.2.3 but I also have Werkzeug as its own dependency version 2.2.3. I can see the package is in my requirements.txt file which gets generated at the root of my project through poetry. I have also tried older versions, Flask v1.1.4 and Werkzeug v1.0.1 and I was getting the same issue so I am a bit stunned.
