Why do I keep getting a plain "Try again!" error on my clean_honeypot code challenge?

I have double checked for typos, and the code I used matches up with the code from the challenge. Am I missing something simple here?

myproject/forms.py 
from django import forms

class LeadShareForm(forms.Form):
    email = forms.EmailField()
    link = forms.URLField()
    honeypot = forms.CharField(required=False, widget=forms.HiddenInput)

    def clean_honeypot(self):
        honeypot = self.cleaned_data['honeypot']
        if len(honeypot):
            raise forms.ValidationError("*angry beeping noises*")
        return honeypot

Ok, I just used the exact same code that has been getting an error for the last ten minutes (aka, exactly what's above) and passed both challenges, when before it was passing the first only. I don't know what was wrong hahaha

I entered your code for task1 & it works. If you are using this code for task2 then it will get an error as you need to add the rest of the code.
