Bummer: Didn't get a 200 at '/register'.

I keep getting this error. I am 120% sure my code is correct. WIth correct indentation

lunch.py
from flask import Flask, g, render_template, flash
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

    g.db.close()
    return response

@app.route('/register', methods=('GET','PUT'))
def register():
    form = forms.SignUpForm()
    if form.validate_on_submit():
        flash("Thanks for registering!")
        models.User.new(

Hi Cameron,

The instructions tell you:

It should accept both GET and POST methods

Your code is not correct. You accept PUT but not POST.

Cheers
