I have deleted and recreated the workspace 3 times now and I give up, I have copied the code and adjusted for syntax changes but every time I try to run the code after this stage, it won't run. I have no clue why, here's the code:

app.py

Not sure if you're seeing the same error: AttributeError: 'bool' object has no attribute '__call__'

In layout.html, there seems to be an inconsistent use of is_authenticated with and without parens. Removing the parens seemed to clear up the error for me. You may need to add the missing parens, depending on if you system requires them. My setup does not like the trailing parens on is_authenticated

You also need to add Post to the models.initialize function:

 DATABASE.create_tables([User, Post], safe=True)

No, thanks but that didn't work, I tried that before. The error is: peewee.OperationalError: no such table: post

I forgot to include the update to models.initialize

Hi Josh,

In your initialize method, you create a table for users, but not for posts. (In models.py) e.g.

def initialize():
    DATABASE.connect()
    DATABASE.create_tables([User, Post], safe=True)
