Flask cannot add objects to the session

I am learning the book flask web development, I want to prepare objects to be written to the database (add them to the session), but when I run db.session.add(admin_role), an error occurs. Could anyone help me solve this issue?

This is the code:

class Role(db.Model):
    __tablename__ = 'roles'
    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
    name = db.Column(db.String(64), unique=True)
    users = db.relationship('User', backref='role')

    def __repr__(self):
        return '<Role %r>' % self.name


class User(db.Model):
    __tablename__ = 'users'
    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
    username = db.Column(db.String(64), unique=True, index=True)
    role_id = db.Column(db.Integer, db.ForeignKey('roles.id'))

    def __repr__(self):
        return '<User %r>' % self.username

Inserting Rows

>>> from hello import Role, User
>>> admin_role = Role(name='Admin')
>>> mod_role = Role(name='Moderator')
>>> user_role = Role(name='User')
>>> user_john = User(username='john', role=admin_role)
>>> user_susan = User(username='susan', role=user_role)
>>> user_david = User(username='david', role=user_role)

>>> db.session.add(admin_role)

This line is incorrect because app.config is a dict and setdefault is a function.

track_modifications = app.config.setdefault['SQLALCHEMY_TRACK_MODIFICATIONS']

It should be:

track_modifications = app.config.setdefault('SQLALCHEMY_TRACK_MODIFICATIONS', None)

Or even:

track_modifications = app.config['SQLALCHEMY_TRACK_MODIFICATIONS']

Do you have the latest versions of all your dependencies?
