login() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given using django-CodePudding

I dont know why i receiving this error login() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given, ive just follow this tutorial that after sign-up it will login automatic https://www.csestack.org/django-sign-up-registration-form/

def login(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = SignUpForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            print("test")
            user = form.save()
            user.refresh_from_db()
            user.first_name = form.cleaned_data.get('first_name')
            user.last_name = form.cleaned_data.get('last_name')
            user.contact_number = form.cleaned_data.get('contact_number')
            user.email = form.cleaned_data.get('email')
            user.save()
            insert = Customer(
                user=user,
                first_name=user.first_name,
                last_name=user.last_name,
                contact_number=user.contact_number,
                email=user.email
            )
            insert.save()
            raw_password = form.cleaned_data.get('password1')
            users = authenticate(username=user.username, password=raw_password)
            login(request, users)
            return redirect('Homepage')
    else:
        form = SignUpForm()
    return render(request, 'mysite/login.html', {'form': form})

this is the traceback

CodePudding user response：

Your view function is called login() – rename it to e.g. login_view so it does not shadow the Django login() function you've imported and are trying to call.

CodePudding user response：

when you define your function with the same name of the imported function login you override it ... so you can't use it try to add _view for any function view to not face this Problem again
