It is returning this Bummer: IngredientList.get()
should return a string; Ingredient.get()
should accept an id
and return a string

20,372 PointsI think you are over complicating this. The Challenge is just asking you to define the Resource class and get methods.
from flask.ext.restful import Resource
import models
class IngredientList(Resource):
def get(self):
return 'Got Ingredients?'
class Ingredient(Resource):
def get(self, id):
return 'Got Milk?'
