database not initializing in flask project

I followed the tutorial at https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/2.0.x/tutorial/factory/ and successfully created the project there. I then tried to apply this to my new project and I'm getting hung up right away. The database schema doesn't seem to get read at any point. At other points in the code I tried to print the tables and got an empty list. Here are the relevant chunks in the code where it should happen.

__init__.py:

import os
from flask import Flask

def create_app(test_config=None):
    app = Flask(__name__, instance_relative_config=True)
    app.config.from_mapping(
        SECRET_KEY='dev',
        DATABASE=os.path.join(app.instance_path, 'projectdb.sqlite')
    )

    if test_config is None:
        app.config.from_pyfile('config.py', silent=True)
    else:
        app.config.from_mapping(test_config)

    try:
        os.makedirs(app.instance_path)
    except OSError:
        pass

    from . import db
    db.init_app(app)

    from . import auth
    app.register_blueprint(auth.bp)
    print("App created")
    return app

db.py:

import sqlite3
import click
from flask import current_app, g
from flask.cli import with_appcontext

def get_db():
    if 'db' not in g:
        g.db = sqlite3.connect(
            current_app.config['DATABASE'],
            detect_types=sqlite3.PARSE_DECLTYPES
        )
        g.db.row_factory = sqlite3.Row

    return g.db

def close_db(e=None):
    db = g.pop('db', None)
    if db is not None:
        db.close()

def init_db():
    db = get_db()

    with current_app.open_resource('schema.sql') as f:
        db.executescript(f.read().decode('utf8'))

@click.command('init-db')
@with_appcontext
def init_db_command():
    init_db()
    click.echo('Initialized the database.')

def init_app(app):
    app.teardown_appcontext(close_db)
    app.cli.add_command(init_db_command)

auth.py:

import functools

from flask import (
    Blueprint, flash, g, redirect, render_template, request, session, url_for
)

from werkzeug.security import check_password_hash, generate_password_hash
from ldmt.db import get_db

bp = Blueprint('auth', __name__, url_prefix='/auth')

@bp.route('/login', methods=('GET', 'POST'))
def login():
    if request.method == 'POST':
        username = request.form['username']
        password = request.form['password']
        db = get_db()
        error = None
                                              
        user = db.execute(
            'SELECT * FROM user WHERE username = ?', (username,)
        ).fetchone()

        if user is None:
            error = 'invalid username.'
        elif not check_password_hash(user['password'], password):
            error = 'incorrect password.'

        if error is None:
            session.clear()
            session['user_id'] = user['id']
            return redirect(url_for('index'))

        flash(error)
    return render_template('auth/login.html')

@bp.before_app_request
def load_logged_in_user():
    user_id = session.get('user_id')

    if user_id is None:
        g.user = None
    else:
        g.user = get_db().execute(
            'SELECT * FROM user WHERE id = ?', (user_id,)
        ).fetchone()

@bp.route('/logout')
def logout():
    session.clear()
    return redirect(url_for('auth.login'))

def login_required(view):
    @functools.wraps(view)
    def wrapped_view(**kwargs):
        if g.user is None:
            return redirect(url_for('auth.login'))

        return view(**kwargs)

    return wrapped_view

schema.sql:

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS user;

CREATE TABLE user (
       id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
       username TEXT UNIQUE NOT NULL,
       password TEXT NOT NULL
);

The problem happens when I try to login. Nothing has been added to the database so I expect an error that that user is not found, but the error I get is sqlite3.OperationalError: no such table: user

I can also confirm that the .sqlite file is created but empty.
