[tito]

The current dependency for Flask-SuperAdmin is Flask-WTF>=0.9 which itself install wtforms >= 1.0.4.

As for today, version for Flask-WTF is 0.11, and wtforms is 2.0.2.

The following model crash:

class Agenda(Document):
    image = ImageField()

Here is the crash:

But flask-superadmin is hiding the original error with a custom raise. After just changing the source code, the original exception is:

TypeError: Must provide one of _form or _meta

Which look like something new from the wforms in 2.0: "Class Meta paradigm allows customization of many aspects of WTForms".

See http://wtforms.readthedocs.org/en/latest/meta.html

I tried to debug it, but got lost into all the layers of abstraction in flask superadmin. The current fix is to downgrade wtforms to a version before 2.0, like 1.0.5.

Ie: pip install --upgrade wtforms==1.0.5
