Pset9 Register function not working

Question

Working through Pset9 and every time I try testing my register function I get back an image of a grumpy cat and a 403: Invalid username and/or password message.

This is my code for the register function:

@app.route("/register", methods=["GET", "POST"])
def register():
    """Register user"""

    if request.method == "GET":
        return render_template("register.html")

    # Validate submission
    if request.method == "POST":

        name = request.form.get("username")
        password= request.form.get("password")
        confirmation = request.form.get("confirmation")

        if name == None:
            return apology("TODO")

        if password == None:
            return apology("TODO")

        if password != confirmation:
            return apology("TODO")

        # TODO return apology if username already taken

        hash = werkzeug.generate_password_hash(password, method='pbkdf2:sha256', salt_length=8)

        db.execute("INSERT INTO finance (username, password, hash) VALUES(?, ?)", username, password, hash)

        return redirect("/")

And this is the code I created at register.html:

{% extends "layout.html" %}

{% block title %}
    Register
{% endblock %}

{% block main %}
    <form action="/login" method="post">
        <div class="mb-3">
            <input autocomplete="off" autofocus class="form-control mx-auto w-auto" id="username" name="username" placeholder="Username" type="text">
        </div>
        <div class="mb-3">
            <input class="form-control mx-auto w-auto" id="password" name="password" placeholder="Password" type="password">
        </div>
        <div class="mb-3">
            <input class="form-control mx-auto w-auto" id="confirmation" name="confirmation" placeholder="Password" type="password">
        </div>
        <button class="btn btn-primary" type="submit">Register</button>
    </form>
{% endblock %}

Can anyone see where I'm going wrong?

Answer 1

register does not give the message "Invalid username and/or password". login gives that message. Check the form action attribute in register.html.
