Is anyone getting this error in Initialize Database Create Table?--solved

Edit:

I figured out that what was I doing wrong was not initializing outside of the Challenge class. I now I have another problem.

My error message is "Bummer! CharField/IntergerField has no _meta attribute. What format is the create_tables supposed to be?

Edit: I figured out the last one: Challenge should be part of a list, I did not need to specify the table labels. 

from peewee import * 
db = SqliteDatabase('challenges.db') 
class Challenge(Model):
    name = CharField(max_length=100)
    language = CharField(max_length=100)
    steps = IntegerField(default=1)
    class Meta:
      database = db 

def initialize():
  db.connect()
  db.create_tables((Challenge.name,Challenge.language, Challenge.steps), safe=True)

If your still having an issue with "Bummer! CharField/IntergerField has no _meta attribute" it's because Integer is misspelled. It should be IntegerField
