ImportError: cannot import name 'FileStorage' from 'werkzeug'

Question

We are getting:

File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/connexion/decorators/validation.py", line 9, in <module>
    from werkzeug import FileStorage

since we are working with Python 2.7.x upgrading connexion==2.6.0 is not an option.

Python 2.7.x:

Installing Werkzeug==0.16.1 after the connexion installation solved this issue.

Python 3.x:

connexion==2.6.0

I think this will work. But has a oppening issue https://github.com/zalando/connexion/issues/1149 with this problem – Kevin Martins Feb 13 '20 at 00:15

Python 3.7.x can upgrade the connexion version, Python 2.7.x requires the above fix – Amit Talmor Feb 13 '20 at 07:30

Just add Werkzeug==0.16.1 to your requirements.txt. This solved my problem.

Not relevant for OP but for people landing here with a more recent version of Werkzeug (i.e. 2.x) released after May 2021, do:

from werkzeug.datastructures import FileStorage
