Ways to fix

Arguments and keyword arguments should not be passed at the same time to jsonify.

How to reproduce:

from flask import Flask, jsonify

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/")
def index():
    return jsonify("text", i="test")

app.run()

Code with fix

from flask import Flask, jsonify

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/")
def index():
    return jsonify(j="text", i="test") #<-- pass only arg or kwarg, not both

app.run()
