Answer 1

Looks like you are not returning a instance of HttpResponse from your view. could you paste a code snippet? also, please try to unfold a highlighted exception (it's coloured with a dark grey background) and see what's the value of 'response' variable.

Answer 2

Yes, @toudi is right. I am in such situation and now I do:

from django.http.response import JsonResponse

return JsonResponse({'success':False, 'errorMsg':errorMsg})

When you process the json part in jQuery, do:

$.ajax({
    ...
    dataType: 'json',
    success: function(returned, status, xhr) {
        var result = returned['success']; // this will be translated into 'true' in JS, not 'True' as string
        if (result) { 
            ...
        else {
            ...
        }
    }
});
