Getting an 'Assertion Error' about the function, pretty confused on how to continue from here code challenge should be linked along with my code.
Many thanks!

Treehouse TeacherHi there, Callum Anderson! First, you are meant to use the parameters user and password not User and string. Secondly, you are always hashing the string 'string' as opposed to whatever string was passed along as an argument.
def set_password(user, password):
user.password = generate_password_hash(password) # set the user's password to the hash of whatever they entered
return user # return the user
Hope this helps!
