Getting an Attribute Error: '_AppCtxGlobals' object has no attribute 'user_get_current_object' when I try to save a post

I'm not seeing why this error keeps popping up.

Hi there, Keenan Smith! Just a tiny typo :smiley: You forgot a . in the middle.

You wrote:

models.Post.create(user=g.user_get_current_object(),

But you meant:

models.Post.create(user=g.user._get_current_object(),

There should be a . between "user" and "_get_current_object()".

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
