Use this code in models.py:
@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")

12,835 Pointsdelete this: DATABASE = SqliteDatabase('social.db') from model.py?
Andreas cormack

Python Web Development Techdegree Graduate 33,011 PointsHi Jovan

in my models.py file
When I tried to run the app.py file I got this message
"AttributeError: module "models' has no attribute 'initialize'
Andreas cormack
Python Web Development Techdegree Graduate 33,011 PointsHi Vk
Can you post your code for the app.py file. Models don't have a attribute called initialize.

Andreas cormack
Python Web Development Techdegree Graduate 33,011 Pointsdoes your models.py have a function called initialize() ??
def initialize():
DATABASE.connect()
DATABASE.create_tables([User], safe=True)
DATABASE.create_tables([Post], safe=True)
DATABASE.close()

5,237 PointsNo, I will add that code now.
Edit: I had it..but apparently it was deleted when i was copying it from pycharm.
I added it..but it didn't work

import datetime
from flask.ext.bcrypt import generate_password_hash
from flask.ext.login import UserMixin
from peewee import *
DATABASE = SqliteDatabase('social.db')
class User(UserMixin, Model):
username = CharField(unique=True)
email = CharField(unique=True)

joined_at = DateTimeField(default=datetime.datetime.now)
is_admin = BooleanField(default=False)
class Meta:

def get_posts(self):
return Post.select().where(Post.user == self)
def get_stream(self):

@classmethod
def create_user(cls, username, email, password, admin=False):

content = TextField()
class Meta:

def initialize():
DATABASE.connect()
DATABASE.create_tables([User], safe=True)
DATABASE.close()
now when I run app.py I get a NameError: name 'DATABASE' is not defined.

Python Web Development Techdegree Graduate 33,011 Pointsthat's strange. I cannot see anything wrong. I replaced my app.py and models.py code with yours and i dont get any errors!!.
