Django python: Using DateInput --Required argument 'year' (pos 1) not found

Question

I'm trying to use DateInput, but I get the following error Required argument 'year' (pos 1) not found here {{ form.incident_date_time_reported|add_class:"form-control"}} (line 52)

forms.py

from django import forms
import datetime
from functools import partial
DateInput = partial(forms.DateInput, {'class': 'datepicker'})

class IncidentForm(forms.Form):

    incident_date_time_reported = forms.DateField(initial=datetime.date, required=False, widget=forms.DateInput)

    def search(self):

        # cleaning the data
        incident_date_time_reported = self.cleaned_data.get('incident_date_time_reported')

        query = Incident.objects.all()

        if incident_date_time_reported is not None:
            query = query.filter(incident_date_time_reported=incident_date_time_reported)


        return(query)

Answer 1

datetime.date is incorrectly used. It's a function with all the arguments required.

If you are attempting to initially populate with the current day, you should use datetime.date.today().
