updating user with same email address, gives email already exists error-CodePudding

I am trying to update user fields but it returns email already exists error when I try to update it with the same email address.

@login_required
def user_profile(request, id):
  if request.user.id == int(id):
    if request.method == "POST":
      user = Account.objects.get(pk=request.user.pk)
      form = UserProfileUpdateForm(request.POST, user=user)

      if form.is_valid():
        form.save()
        messages.success(request, mark_safe("UPDATE: <br> your profile is updated"))

        context = {
          "form": form
        }

        return render(request, "accounts/user_profile.html", context)

      else:
       #...
    else:
      #...
  else:
    return redirect("not_found")

and forms.py

class UserProfileUpdateForm(forms.ModelForm):

  class Meta:
    model = Account
    fields = ["first_name", "last_name", "first_name_kana", "last_name_kana",
              "post_code", "city", "address", "building",
              "tel", "sex", "occupation",
              "year", "month", "day",
              "parent_name", "parent_name_kana",
              "year", "month", "day",
              "school_type",
              "school_name", "student_id",
              "email"]

  def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
    now = datetime.datetime.now()
    user = kwargs.pop("user")

    super(UserProfileUpdateForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

    # widget settings

What is the right way to update user fields with the same email address.

CodePudding user response：

You can exclude current user from the queryset while updating the user.

class UserProfileUpdateForm(forms.ModelForm):

  class Meta:
    model = Account
    fields = [....]

  def clean_email(self):
      email = self.cleaned_data.get("email")
      if Account.objects.filter(email=email).exclude(pk=self.instance.pk).exists():
          raise forms.ValidationError("Email Already Exists")
      return email
