Type error on calling validate in wtforms

Question

I have TypeError in line where I call 'validate()' on my form.

The error is:

   Traceback (most recent call last):

TypeError: __init__() takes at most 2 arguments (3 given)

My code:

@app.route("/process_field", methods=['POST'])
def process_field():
    file = request.files['upload']
    filled_form = FieldFootball(request.form)
    if filled_form.validate():
        filename = secure_filename(file.filename)
        file.save(os.path.join(app.config['UPLOADS_FOLDER'], filename))
        doc = {"organization": filled_form.org_name.data, "address": filled_form.address.data,
               "filename": filename, "price": filled_form.price.data, "phone": filled_form.phone.data,
               "phone1": filled_form.phone1.data, "phone2": filled_form.phone2.data, "user_id": current_user.dic['_id']}
        field = Field(doc)
        field.save()
        return redirect(url_for('field_profile', id=field.id))
    else:
        return render_template("add_field.html", form=filled_form)

class FieldFootball(Form):
    org_name = TextField(u'Название организации', [validators.Required])
    address = TextAreaField(u'Полный адрес футбольного поля',[validators.Required])
    upload = FileField(u'Фотографии футбольного поля', validators=[
        FileRequired(),
        FileAllowed(['jpg', 'png'], u'Только фотографии!')
    ])
    price = TextField(u'Цена', [validators.Required, validators.NumberRange])
    phone = TextField(u'Телефоны', [validators.Required])
    phone1 = TextField(u'')
    phone2 = TextField(u'')
    my_choices = [('1', u'Трава'), ('2', u'Крытый'), ('3', u'Трибуны')]
    list_tags = MultiCheckboxField(choices = my_choices)

It is a bit weird because I used it in previous controller, and it goes without any argument.

Please help me solve it.

You need to instantiate your validators:

org_name = TextField(u'Название организации', [validators.Required()])

Note the () after Required; this applies to all your validators. The instance is then called again to validate the input.
