I keep receiving the error "didn't find the challenge I asked you to create.

Not sure what I am supposed to do.

I have tried:

challenge = create_challenge('bobo the cat', 'Meow Meow') and also just calling the function as in the code below.

crud.py 
from models import Challenge

def create_challenge(name, language, steps=1):
    Challenge(name, language, steps)

create_challenge('Bobo the cat', 'meow meow')

I was able to find the answer.

Challenge.create(name=name, language=language, steps=steps)

is what the error was asking for. I am not sure if it's available, but having access to the module that is imported would have made the question more understandable to me, as I forgot that the class Challenge is a database.
