You see 'social.db' that has created when you run app.py on the directory. Just delete the file. Then, you run app.py again: (python app.py). It will go through.

Kenneth Love answers this under the Macros video. Once you add the line "with DATABASE.transaction():" The error should go away.

@classmethod def create_user(cls, username, email, password, admin=False): try: with DATABASE.transaction(): cls.create( username=username, email=email, password=generate_password_hash(password), is_admin=admin) except IntegrityError: raise ValueError("User already exists")
