Python Build a Social Network with Flask Takin' Names Form View

Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing. Why?

What am I missing?

Your code looks like it should pass if you adjust your indents. Your flash should be at the same level as your models.User.new.

Happy coding,
Ken

Thank you. I'm having a really hard time with the indentations in this workspace, and I didn't know the error message "Task 1 is no longer passing" is usually code for "check your indents"...

That error message Task 1 is no longer passing is generally a syntax error, not just indents. In Python since improper indenting is a syntax error, that seems to be a common occurrence.

Happy coding,
