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

SignUpForm Task 1 no longer passing

I correctly created new view and passed task 1, but task 2 asks for a different return which I believe I correctly implemented:

form = forms.SignUpForm() return render_template('register.html', form=form)

However, this causes task 1 (return "register") to fail

How can I get them both to pass? Is this a bug in the checker?

Please advise

lunch.py
from flask import Flask, g
from flask.ext.login import LoginManager

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)


@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


@app.before_request
def before_request():
    g.db = models.DATABASE
    g.db.connect()


@app.after_request
def after_request(response):
    g.db.close()
    return response


@app.route('/register', methods=('GET', 'POST'))
def register():
    return "register"
models.py
import datetime

from flask.ext.bcrypt import generate_password_hash
from flask.ext.login import UserMixin
from peewee import *

DATABASE = SqliteDatabase(':memory:')


class User(Model):
    email = CharField(unique=True)
    password = CharField(max_length=100)
    join_date = DateTimeField(default=datetime.datetime.now)
    bio = CharField(default='')

    class Meta:
        database = DATABASE

    @classmethod
    def new(cls, email, password):
        cls.create(
            email=email,
            password=generate_password_hash(password)
        )


def initialize():
    DATABASE.connect()
    DATABASE.create_tables([User], safe=True)
    DATABASE.close()
forms.py
from flask_wtf import Form
from wtforms import StringField, PasswordField

class SignUpForm(Form):
    email = StringField(validators=[DataRequired(), Email()])
    password = PasswordField(validators=[DataRequired(), Length(min=8)])

Hi Akilah

I think you forgot to import render_template.

Andreas cormack no I didn't...

I imported it, but what's attached to my initial question is the passing "task 1", which didn't require import render_template.

On task 2, I imported it...

and replaced the statement: return "register"

...with...

form = forms.SignUpForm() return render_template('register.html', form=form)

The issue is that the grader is expecting TWO returns: 1) the string "register" 2) the template "register.html"

I'm not sure how or IF this can be done. I think it might be a bug in the grader, but not sure.

Thanks
