I don't know how to replace the pass in your method with a cls.create() call, using the provided email and a hash of the

I tried multiple solutions to pass this challenge, but none of them work. Could you please tell me why it's not working and the code to fix it, Thanks.

models.py 
import datetime

from flask.ext.bcrypt import generate_password_hash
from flask.ext.login import UserMixin
from peewee import *

database = SqliteDatabase(':memory:')

class User(Model):
    email = CharField(unique=True)
    password = CharField(max_length=100)
    join_date = DateTimeField(default=datetime.datetime.now)
    bio = CharField(default='')

    class Meta:
        database = database   

    @classmethod
    def new(cls, email, password):
        pass

Well, your code passes the first challenge.

If you are on the second challenge; I should ask "Did you even try?" sine you didn't replace the pass with what the second task is asking for.

If you are on the first task and you are not passing; try refreshing the page. Your code seems to pass for me.

I tried to do the second challeng by adding...

@classmethod
def new(cls, email, password):
    pass
cls.create(email, password)

You need to replace the pass with the code.

@classmethod
def new(cls, email, password):
    cls.create(email, password)

I hope this helps. ~Alex

This is the error I get... Bummer! create() takes 1 positional argument but 3 were given

import datetime

from flask.ext.bcrypt import generate_password_hash
from flask.ext.login import UserMixin
from peewee import *

database = SqliteDatabase(':memory:')

class User(Model):
    email = CharField(unique=True)
    password = CharField(max_length=100)
    join_date = DateTimeField(default=datetime.datetime.now)
    bio = CharField(default='')

    class Meta:
        database = database   

    @classmethod
    def new(cls, email, password):
        cls.create(email, password)

Oh I'm sorry I posted an incorrect answer. I found that this works:

import datetime

from flask.ext.bcrypt import generate_password_hash
from flask.ext.login import UserMixin
from peewee import *

database = SqliteDatabase(':memory:')

class User(Model):
    email = CharField(unique=True)
    password = CharField(max_length=100)
    join_date = DateTimeField(default=datetime.datetime.now)
    bio = CharField(default='')

    class Meta:
        database = database   

    @classmethod
    def new(cls, email, password):
        cls.create(email=email, password=generate_password_hash(password))

GOod luck. ~ALex
