I've tried, but when run in browser, it does not display graph, what's wrong?

Also not showing anything here... any ideas?
(I've already organized templates and static folder)
UPDATE: for me it does not work in Chrome, but works with Safari

@ ones who can't see the graph:
Once you follow the steps @cgelman described, be sure to update the javascript path in the index.html file <script src="../static/main.js"></script> instead of <script src="../static/js/main.js"></script>
Or else add the js folder to the structure.

About NO SHOWING GRAPH!!!,

there was two problems in my case:

  • First , if you also already include bootstrap CDN, comment that <script></script> block (bottom of index.html), and include that one which is provided in tutorial ( i leave <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.4.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-Vkoo8x4CGsO3+Hhxv8T/Q5PaXtkKtu6ug5TOeNV6gBiFeWPGFN9MuhOf23Q9Ifjh" crossorigin="anonymous"> in <head> tag).
  • Second is height in <div id={{ chartID|safe }}></div> style, change height to maybe 400px, this works for me.
    Python3.7/Flask==1.1.1.

Chart is not getting loaded as mentioned above. Would a JS file loading from external links provided is being blocked? Is there a workaround to fix if js or css files mentioned can be handled correctly?
