How do I fix the error of my django form not having cleaned_data attribute?

Time:04-18

I have this form

class RegisterForm(UserCreationForm):
    email = forms.EmailField()

    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = ["username", "email", "password1",
                  "pass"]

and this view

def register(req):
    if req.method == 'POST':
        form = RegisterForm(req.POST)
        print('yaml')
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
        return redirect("/home")
    else:
        form = RegisterForm()
        form.save()
        return render(req, "users/register.html", {"form":form})

but when I visit the url

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('', include("main.urls")),
    path('register/', userViews.register, name="register"),
    path('', include("django.contrib.auth.urls")),
]

I keep getting this error

Internal Server Error: /register/
....
AttributeError: 'RegisterForm' object has no attribute 'cleaned_data'

Please I need some help. Thanks in advance

CodePudding user response:

Remove the form.save() in case of a GET request: you can only save an object in case it is bounded and valid, so:

def register(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = RegisterForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
            # only redirect when the POST is successful
            return redirect('home')  #
