I'm not sure why this code is not passing. The only feedback I am getting is "Bummer! Try again!" which isn't helpful at all. Any ideas?
The question is as follows:
Create a new class named User that extends AbstractBaseUser and PermissionsMixin.
Give it three fields: email, dob, and accepted_tos.
- email should be an EmailField and should be unique
- dob should be a DateField
- accepted_tos should be a BooleanField.
- All three fields should be required.
from django.contrib.auth.models import (
PermissionsMixin,
BaseUserManager,
AbstractBaseUser
)
from django.db import models
from django.utils import timezone
class User(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin):
email = models.EmailField(unique=True, required=True)
dob = models.DateField(required=True)
accepted_tos = models.BooleanField(default=False, required=True)

So, adding required=True should be a non-issue. However, the checker doesn't want the required parameter explicitly set. Also, the challenge checker wants a default value for the DateField.
required from field arguments
DateField. timezone.now works.

Make sure you are not adding extra attributes it hasn't explicitly asked for, such as required inside each of your fields. Because the tests are looking for specific things, sometimes adding your own extras can make them fail.
