Treehouse Moderator 68,425 PointsPlease look at this thread Database is locked even after deleting social.db and restarting app.py. Check the models.py
The User
model should have a classmethod
that uses the transaction
method.
@classmethod
def create_user(cls, username, email, password, admin=False):
try:
with DATABASE.transaction(): # <-- verify this line exists
cls.create(
username=username,
email=email,
password=generate_password_hash(password),
is_admin=admin)
except IntegrityError:
raise ValueError("User already exists")
You may need to delete your database file before restarting.
