x has 1 features, but linearregression is expecting 5 features as input in python

This error occurs when the number of input features in the training set does not match the number of input features in the test set. Here are some steps you can follow to solve the issue:

1. Check the number of input features in your training set.
2. Check the number of input features in your test set.
3. Check if you have performed the necessary preprocessing on your test data.
4. Check if you have trained your model with the correct number of input features.
5. If you are using scikit-learn, you can use the fit_transform() method to simultaneously apply the same transformation to training and test data.

By using the fit_transform() method, your problem could be solved as follows:

main.py
from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler
from sklearn.linear_model import LinearRegression

# Assuming you have a DataFrame called 'X_train'
sc = StandardScaler()
X_train_scaled = sc.fit_transform(X_train)

# Assuming you have a DataFrame called 'X_test'
X_test_scaled = sc.transform(X_test)

# Assuming you are creating a LinearRegression model
reg = LinearRegression()
reg.fit(X_train_scaled, y_train)
y_pred = reg.predict(X_test_scaled)

This ensures that the same scaling is applied to both the training and test data, which will handle the issue of mismatching feature numbers.
