6,385 Pointslocked database - Build a Social Network with Flask
It is quite frustrating that you made a teacher's note some time ago regarding the issue of the locked database but you never bothered to fix it in your code in any of the workspaces for the course. So now if I have some troubling issue that I can't seem to track down and wind up restarting my workspace, then I have to go back and fix the damn database issue overtime.
:( Here is the code fix from the teacher's notes on the lesson titled 'Macros'
Note
If you're constantly getting a locked database, change your User.create_user method to the following:
@classmethod
def create_user(cls, username, email, password, admin=False):
try:
with DATABASE.transaction():
cls.create(
username=username,
email=email,
password=generate_password_hash(password),
is_admin=admin)
except IntegrityError:
raise ValueError("User already exists")

Kenneth Love, is Wes' locked database issue still a problem in the workspaces?

6,385 PointsChris,
that's the issue I was frustrated with. There was a teacher's note in one of the lessons of Build a Social Network with Flask regarding a locked database and a code fix to it. However, in none of the following lessons was the associated workspace for that lesson amended with the code fix for the locked database. So every time I loaded a fresh workspace from the lesson I was on, I would have to go back four or five or ten lessons trying to find the code to fix the locked database. I can't remember where it was to be honest and have had to find it too many times already.
Sorry, was just getting very frustrated with that Track that day and especially with Kenneth for never updating all the workspace files with the fixed code.
