I'm trying to get a token from the Django authentication. But I'm getting following error:

Exception type: <class 'AttributeError'> msg: 'set' object has no attribute 'items'

My test code snippet looks like this:

import os
import requests
import json
from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()

BASE_DEV_URL = "http://127.0.0.1:4000"


def login(url=(BASE_DEV_URL   "/api/user/token")):

    headers = {
        'accept: application/json',
        'accept: text/html,application/xhtml xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8',
        'Content-Type:' 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
        }

    try:
        payload = {"email": os.getenv('TEST_USER_NAME'), "password": os.getenv('TEST_USER_PASSWORD')}
        print(payload)
        res = requests.post(url, data=json.dumps(payload), headers=headers)
        print(f'####### {type(res)}')
    except Exception as e:
        return f'Exception type: {type(e)} msg: {e}'

    return res


response = login()

print(response)

However, when I test it with swagger with curl command it works fine curl looks like this

curl -X 'POST' \
  'http://127.0.0.1:4000/api/user/token/' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
  -H 'X-CSRFTOKEN: T7wW385wMiYDERJU2yWvqGorrbKjtb9zhWqlAkAlE30QKgP7DoQMbc7MnQT3UAti' \
  -d '[email protected]&password=123XVW174'

Any idea how to make it work. I'm not sure, but it may because by serialized. I worked with request library a lot and never encountered such error. Will be grateful for any advice which could solve it.

CodePudding user response：

Your headers should be a dictionary, not a set, so:

headers = {
    'accept': 'application/json',
    'accept': 'text/html,application/xhtml xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8',
    'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
}

I ended up disabling crfs from middleware.

MIDDLEWARE = [
    'django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
    # 'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware',
]

My headers and request look like this:

headers = {
        'accept': 'application/json',
        'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
        'multipart': 'form-data',
    }

payload = {"email": os.getenv('TEST_USER_NAME'), "password": os.getenv('TEST_USER_PASSWORD')}

 res = requests.post(url, data=payload, headers=headers)

It finally gives me response 200 and proper data. However, I would like to know how to properly generate crf token for testing
