create_challenge

Error msg says Didn't find the challenge he asks me to create, I tried several combinations to fulfill the argument, but not sure what to put for name, language. Steps I assume to put = 1, as told, but what about the other two? Do they need to be created? Not sure if I understand error msg in relation to the problem task.

crud.py 
from models import Challenge

def create_challenge(name, language, steps):
    Challenge.create(name = 'Challenge', language = 'English', steps = 1)

Without all the steps handy, I have to go from memory...

The default "steps=1" is part of the function, not part of the call.

Also, you're going to pass "name", "language", and "steps" via the function. So, you don't need to make them explicit.

I had similar issues but i realize that i did not call the function.

crud.py 
from models import Challenge

def create_challenge(name, language, steps=1):
    Challenge.create(name=name, language=language, steps=steps)

create_challenge("Challenge", "English")
