11,223 Pointsadd new editor to "Editors" group.
I have looked over this several times and it still will not pass. I'm not sure what is wrong with this code.
from django.contrib.auth.models import (
PermissionsMixin,
BaseUserManager,
AbstractBaseUser,
Permission,
Group
)
from django.db import models
from django.utils import timezone
class UserManager(BaseUserManager):
def create_user(self, email, dob, accepted_tos=None, password=None):
if not accepted_tos:
raise ValueError("Users must accept the terms of service")
user = self.model(
email=self.normalize_email(email),
dob=dob,
accepted_tos=True
)
user.set_password(password)
user.save()
return user
def create_superuser(self, email, dob, password):
user = self.create_user(
email,
dob,
accepted_tos=True,
password=password
)
user.is_staff = True
user.is_superuser = True
user.save()
return user
def create_editor(self, email, dob, password):
user = self.create_user(
email,
dob,
accepted_tos=True,
password=password
)
try:
editors = Group.objects.get(name__iexact="Editors")
user.groups.add(editors)
user.save()
except Group.DoesNotExist:
editors = Group.objects.create(name="Editors")
editors.permissions.add(Permission.objects.get(codename="can_give_discount"))
user.groups.add(editors)
user.save()
return user
class User(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin):
email = models.EmailField(unique=True)
dob = models.DateField()
accepted_tos = models.BooleanField()
is_staff = models.BooleanField(default=False)
joined_at = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now)
objects = UserManager()
USERNAME_FIELD = "email"
REQUIRED_FIELDS = ["dob"]
