Courses Plus Student 3,040 PointsAdding publish_date as DateTimeField fails, but failure message too vague to figure out what I did wrong
I added the publish_date field as seen in the code, but the failure message just says "Bummer: Try again!" Not very helpful at all!
The question says to add a DateTimeField called publish_date with no arguments. I can't figure out any other syntax based on what we've done in the course so far. I thought the syntax was:
<name> = models.<data type>(<arguments>)
Can anyone understand what this test is looking for that is different than what I have?
from django.db import models
# Create your models here
class Article(models.Model):
headline = models.CharField(max_length=255)
publish_date = models.DateTimeField()

4,335 PointsI came across this post looking for an answer to the same problem. I'm sure you're far past this issue now but I found that the code is double tabbed which is causing it to fail. Hope it helps someone else.
