I have a form that fails the is_valid()
test. I created an identical form that passes the test with the same data input. Not sure why one would pass and one would fail.
Here are the forms:
choices = ( (1,'Yes'),(0,'No'),
)
class ActivitySaveForm(forms.Form):
name = forms.CharField(
label=u'Activity Name',
widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'size': 64})
)
url = forms.URLField(
label=u'URL',
widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'size': 64})
)
desc = forms.CharField(
label=u'Describe it',
widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'size': 250})
)
created = forms.DateField(
label=u'Date Entered',initial=datetime.date.today,
)
priority = forms.CharField(
label=u'priority: 1-5',
widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'size': 1})
)
difficulty = forms.CharField(
label=u'How hard is it? 1-5',
widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'size': 1})
)
done = forms.TypedChoiceField(choices=choices, widget=forms.RadioSelect, coerce=int
)
tags = forms.CharField(
label=u'Tags',required=False,
widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'size': 64})
)
#def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
#super(CircuitForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
#for key in self.fields:
#self.fields[key].required = False
class AcTest(forms.Form):
name = forms.CharField(
label=u'Activity Name',
widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'size': 64})
)
url = forms.URLField(
label=u'URL',
widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'size': 64})
)
desc = forms.CharField(
label=u'Describe it',
widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'size': 250})
)
created = forms.DateField(
label=u'Date Entered',initial=datetime.date.today,
)
priority = forms.CharField(
label=u'priority: 1-5',
widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'size': 1})
)
difficulty = forms.CharField(
label=u'How hard is it? 1-5',
widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'size': 1})
)
done = forms.TypedChoiceField(choices=choices, widget=forms.RadioSelect, coerce=int
)
tags = forms.CharField(
label=u'Tags',required=False,
widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'size': 64})
)
Here is the test and the results for both.
>>> data = {'name':'test',
... 'url': 'www.test.com',
... 'desc':'test desc',
... 'created': '01/01/1900',
... 'priority':1,
... 'difficulty':1,
... 'desc':'test desc',
... 'tags':'test desc'}
>>> f=ActivitySaveForm(data)
>>> f.is_valid()
False
>>> f=AcTest(data)
>>> f.is_valid()
True
Not sure how to further diagnose this error and haven't found a way to make it work. Thanks for your help in this.
I ran your code on and for me, both forms fail to validate. You can just do this: print f.errors
and you will get the HTML for the error messages that were created during the validation.
For this I get:
<ul class="errorlist"><li>done<ul class="errorlist"><li>This field is required.</li></ul></li></ul>
So in other words, you didn't specify a value for the 'done' field, even though it was required. Once you add 'done':1
to the data
dictionary, the form validates.
As to why one form validated and the other not... I you paste all of this into a single, small program, you'll probably find that both of them behave the same way. I can only speculate that for some reason you didn't really pass the same data in both cases. Or that when you ran the test there was a subtle difference in the forms. But I can't be sure.
At any rate, try printing the errors and you should get an insight.
