My app is working on my main PC. I tried to clone the app to my laptop (I tried to initialize it on PC in a different directory and the problem was the same so the problem isn't with the laptop) and when initializing the db with flask db init I got the following error:
sqlalchemy.exc.OperationalError: (sqlite3.OperationalError) no such table: race [SQL: 'SELECT race.id AS race_id, race.name AS race_name \nFROM race'] (Background on this error at: http://sqlalche.me/e/e3q8)
What I'm trying to do is in one of my forms to include a wtforms RadioField with choices based on the race table in db. So for every row in that table I want one choice in the selection. The important part of the form looks like this:
class RegistrationForm(FlaskForm):
race = RadioField('Race', validators=[InputRequired('Choose a race.')],
choices=races, coerce=int)
And the races variable is outside the form like this (before the form itself):
with create_app().app_context():
races = [(race.id, race.name.capitalize()) for race in Race.query.all()]
I figured that this last line is the problem from the call stack:

So the problem is that I don't have the db initialized when I'm running the flask db init command and that one line needs the db to exist. This probably doesn't have a solution so I'm not asking how to correct this implementation, but how to do it correctly to have form based on rows from the db. I don't have hundreds of races so I could hardcode them in but I wanted to do it this way.
