Django formset doesn't validate
- by tsoporan
Hello,
I am trying to save a formset but it seems to be bypassing is_valid() even though there are required fields.
To test this I have a simple form:
class AlbumForm(forms.Form):
name = forms.CharField(required=True)
The view:
@login_required
def add_album(request, artist):
artist = Artist.objects.get(slug__iexact=artist)
AlbumFormSet = formset_factory(AlbumForm)
if request.method == 'POST':
formset = AlbumFormSet(request.POST, request.FILES)
if formset.is_valid():
return HttpResponse('worked')
else:
formset = AlbumFormSet()
return render_to_response('submissions/addalbum.html', {
'artist': artist,
'formset': formset,
}, context_instance=RequestContext(request))
And the template:
<form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">{% csrf_token %}
{{ formset.management_form }}
{% for form in formset.forms %}
<ul class="addalbumlist">
{% for field in form %}
<li>
{{ field.label_tag }}
{{ field }}
{{ field.errors }}
</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% endfor %}
<div class="inpwrap">
<input type="button" value="add another">
<input type="submit" value="add">
</div>
</form>
What ends up happening is I hit "add" without entering a name then HttpResponse('worked') get's called seemingly assuming it's a valid form.
I might be missing something here, but I can't see what's wrong. What I want to happen is, just like any other form if the field is required to spit out an error if its not filled in. Any ideas?
