Bug Report: py4web Dashboard API Error – Undefined make_safe Function

[Hafiz IAM]

Hi all,

I encountered an issue in the _dashboard app after updating to the latest py4web commit. The py4web dashboard was throwing a NameError when accessing the REST API endpoint, specifically when trying to view database information through the dashboard interface.

Issue Summary

After pulling commit , the py4web dashboard REST API began throwing a NameError when accessing the database tables endpoint.

Error Traceback NameError: name 'make_safe' is not defined File "py4web/apps/_dashboard/__init__.py", line 393, in tables make_safe(db) Root Cause

The tables() function in __init__.py:393 was calling an undefined function make_safe(db). This function was not defined anywhere in the codebase, causing the API endpoint to fail when attempting to process database table information.

Solution

I removed the undefined make_safe(db) call from the tables() function within the api() REST endpoint handler. This function was not necessary for the table-listing functionality, and its removal resolved the error without impacting the dashboard’s ability to display database information.

Environment

• py4web version: 1.20251212.1

Thank you. 
Best Regards,

Hafiz

Thank you, Hafiz.

I've just made a PR to fix it (#1014 Dashboard app: fix errors from utils and no.css ).
