Error uploading files

Using Django Forms & APIs
1

I keep getting an error saying ‘str’ object has no attribute ‘get’ in attempt to uploading model-form… I’ve crossed check my models and forms, I can’t seem to figure out where the problem is coming from.

if request.method =="POST":
        form = GameUpload(request.POST, request.FILES)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save(commit=False)
            form.instance.url = slugify(form.cleaned_data['title'])
            try:
                form.save()

url is a model slugfield…upload.

Please post the complete view and the form, along with the model and the complete error message with the traceback.

One of the issues that is (potentially) hiding the real issue is that you have code paths that aren’t returning an HttpResponse.

Specifically:

This will return a string, which isn’t valid for a view.

There’s another error here, which is the root cause of the Exception being thrown, but this needs to be resolved before that can be identified and addressed.

All code paths through a view should return an HttpResponse.

I did as you said and was able to trace the issue back to my foreign key default value… Already fixed the issue

Thanks for the heads up
