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.

Answer 1

Python 2.7.x:

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

Python 3.x:

connexion==2.6.0

Answer 2

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