Tacocat Challenge

I'm getting "Bummer! Try again!" error when I run my code for the Tacocat Challenge. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Here's the code below:

code for tacocat.py:

    password = CharField(max_length=100)
    is_admin = BooleanField(default=False)

    class Meta:
        database = DATABASE

Hey Bryan, Your code seems to missing the main tacocat.py. It looks like models.py was posted twice.

Can you post your tacocat.py code?

This is a relatively complex challenge (compared to other one's on the website), here's a sample tacocat.py:

from flask import (Flask, g, render_template, flash, redirect, url_for)
from flask.ext.bcrypt import check_password_hash
from flask.ext.login import LoginManager, login_user, logout_user, login_required, current_user

import forms
import models

app = Flask(__name__)
app.secret_key = 'auoesh.bouoastuh.43,uoausoehuosth3ououea.auoub!'

login_manager = LoginManager()
login_manager.init_app(app)
login_manager.login_view = 'login'

@login_manager.user_loader
def load_user(userid):
    try:
        return models.User.get(models.User.id == userid)
    except models.DoesNotExist:
        return None

@app.before_request
def before_request():
    """Connect to the database before each request."""
    g.user = current_user

@app.route('/login', methods=('GET', 'POST'))
def login():
    form = forms.LoginForm()
    if form.validate_on_submit():
        try:
            user = models.User.get(models.User.email == form.email.data)
        except models.DoesNotExist:
            flash("Your email or password doesn't match!", "error")
        else:
            if check_password_hash(user.password, form.password.data):
                login_user(user)
                flash("You've been logged in!", "success")
                return redirect(url_for('index'))
            else:
                flash("Your email or password doesn't match!", "error")
    return 'add a new taco<br>log out'

@login_required
@app.route('/logout')
def logout():
  logout_user()
  return redirect(url_for('index'))

@app.route('/register', methods=('GET', 'POST'))
def register():
    form = forms.RegisterForm()
    if form.validate_on_submit():
        flash("Yay, you registered!", "success")
        models.User.create_user(
            username=form.username.data,
            email=form.email.data,
            password=form.password.data
        )
        return redirect(url_for('index'))
    return redirect(url_for('index'))

@app.route('/')
def index():
    return 'add a new taco<br>no tacos yet<br>sign up<br>log in<br>log out'

@app.route('/taco', methods=('GET', 'POST'))
def taco():
    form = forms.TacoForm()
    if form.validate_on_submit():
        flash("Yay, you registered!", "success")
        models.Taco.create_taco(
            protein=form.protein.data,
            shell=form.shell.data,
            extras=form.extras.data,
            user=g.user.id
        )
        return redirect(url_for('index'))
    return redirect(url_for('index'))
