Django user creation return "Key 'username' not found in 'CustomUserForm'" for custom user [closed]

Question

I have created a custom user for my django project. When I try to create a new user using the admin I ca not access the form and I get an error: "Key 'username' not found in 'CustomUserForm'"

My code is as follows:

models.py

from django.core import validators
from django.db import models
from django.utils import timezone
from django.utils.http import urlquote
from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _
from django.core.mail import send_mail

from .managers import CustomUserManager

class CustomUser(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin):

    email = models.EmailField(_('email address'), max_length=254, unique=True)
    first_name = models.CharField(_('first name'), max_length=30, blank=True)
    last_name = models.CharField(_('last name'), max_length=30, blank=True)
    is_staff = models.BooleanField(_('staff status'), default=False,
        help_text=_('Designates whether the user can log into this admin '
                    'site.'))
    is_active = models.BooleanField(_('active'), default=True,
        help_text=_('Designates whether this user should be treated as '
                    'active. Unselect this instead of deleting accounts.'))
    date_joined = models.DateTimeField(_('date joined'), default=timezone.now)

    objects = CustomUserManager()

    USERNAME_FIELD = 'email'
    REQUIRED_FIELDS = []

    class Meta:
        verbose_name = _('user')
        verbose_name_plural = _('users')

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.email

    def get_absolute_url(self):
        return "/users/%s/" % urlquote(self.email)


    def get_full_name(self):
        """
        Returns the first_name and the last name
        with a space between them.
        """
        full_name = '%s %s' % (self.first_name, self.last_name)
        return full_name.strip()

    def get_short_name(self):
        "Returns a short name for the user."
        return self.first_name

    def email_user(self, subject, message, from_email=None):
        "Sends an email to the user."
        send_mail(subject, message, from_email, [self.email])

        if not email:
            raise ValueError(_(u'The given username must be set'))
        email = self.normalize_email(email)
        user = self.model(email=email,

        user.set_password(password)

        return user

        fields = '__all__'

admin.py

from django.contrib import admin
from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin
from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _

from .models import CustomUser
from .forms import CustomUserChangeForm, CustomUserCreationForm

    fieldsets = (
        (None, {'fields': ( 'email', 'password')}),
        (_('Personal info'), {'fields': ('first_name', 'last_name')}),
        (_('Permissions'), {'fields': ('is_active', 'is_staff', 'is_superuser',
                                       'groups', 'user_permissions')}),

    )
    add_filedsets = (
        (None, {
            'classes': ('wide',),
            'fields': ('email', 'password', 'password2')}
        ),
    )
    form = CustomUserChangeForm
    add_form = CustomUserCreationForm
    list_display = ('email', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'is_staff')
    search_fields = ('email', 'first_name', 'last_name')
    ordering = ('email',)

admin.site.register(CustomUser, CustomUserAdmin)

I cannot find any file containing CustomUserForm in the code. Is there anything about my set up that is wrong or something I could look at to deal with this issue?

Edit: Here is the full traceback http://pastebin.com/YcZeM7yD

It seems that Django is looking for a form named (custom_user_model_name)Form in this instance CustomUserForm.

Answer 1

The issue was a typo add_filedsetsshould be add_fieldsets.
