Create User (Flask Rest APi)

Question

Im annoyed, and I have been troubled by this challenge for a while and I do not know what to do. They are giving me this response "Couldn't create a user with a valid password"

Challenge Task 2 of 2

Now, inside of UserList.post, check that the "password" and "confirm_password" args are equal to each other. If they're not, raise an Exception. If they are equivalent, go ahead and create the user and send it back.

This is my response:

@marshal_with(user_fields)
def post(self):
    args = self.reqparse.parse_args()
    if args.get('password') == args.get('confirm_password'):
        user = models.User.create_user(**args)
        return marshal(user, user_fields), 201
    return make_response(json.dumps({'error':'Password and confirmation do not match'})), 400

Hi Innocent,

you are doing great and you only have to change the line:

user = models.User.create_user(**args)

to

user = models.User.create(**args)

 @marshal_with(user_fields)
    def post(self):
        args = self.reqparse.parse_args()
        if args.get('password') == args.get('confirm_password'):
            user = models.User.create(**args)
            return marshal(user, user_fields), 201
        return make_response(json.dumps({'error': 'Password and confirm_password do not match'}), 400)

I wonder if someone at Treehouse could modify the wording on that question to make that clearer? That method could be named anything, (in the previous video, Kenneth named it create_user) and it would take some guesswork or coming here to realize it was simply called create. The name of an unseen method that isn't a standard issue default should preferably be explicitly given, not merely hinted at.
