I have been stuck here for the past two days, I have done steps 1 and 2 correctly but on 3, I keep getting an error that Task 1 no longer passing. I am sure it is something simple that I'm overlooking
from flask import Flask, g, render_template, flash
from flask.ext.login import LoginManager
from forms import SignUpForm
import forms
import models
app = Flask(__name__)
app.secret_key = 'this is our super secret key. do not share it with anyone!'
login_manager = LoginManager()
login_manager.init_app(app)
@app.route('/register', methods=('GET', 'POST'))
def register():
form = forms.SignUpForm()
if form.validate_on_submit():
flash("Thanks for registering!", "success")
models.User.new(email=form.email.data, password=form.password.data)
return render_template('register.html', form=form)
@login_manager.user_loader
def load_user(userid):
try:
return models.User.select().where(
models.User.id == int(userid)
).get()
except models.DoesNotExist:
return None

I think you just need to swap the order of the user creation and the flash message inside your register function.

Python Web Development Techdegree Graduate 21,199 PointsOk, worth a shot,
I just completed the challenge and passed, looking at what I passed with and what you have posted here, the only difference is that i created my register function after all the previous functions, before and after request in particular, and my methods iterable was a list not a tuple.

''' @app.route('/register', methods=['GET', 'POST']) def register(): form = forms.SignUpForm() if form.validate_on_submit(): flash("Thanks for registering!", "success") models.User.new(email=form.email.data, password=form.password.data) return render_template('register.html', form=form) '''
