How to resolve "TypeError: __init__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'user'" in django?

Using Django

My views.py:-
class AjaxUpdateView(AjaxMixin, UpdateView):
“”" An ‘AJAXified’ UpdateView for updating an object in the db
- Returns form in JSON format (for delivery to a modal window)
- Handles repeated form validation (via AJAX) until the form is valid
“”"

        def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
            """ Respond to GET request.

            - Populates form with object data
            - Renders form to JSON and returns to client
            """

            super(UpdateView, self).get(request, *args, **kwargs)
            
            return self.renderJsonResponse(request, self.get_form(), context=self.get_context_data())

        def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
            """ Respond to POST request.

            - Updates model with POST field data
            - Performs form and object validation
            - If errors exist, re-render the form
            - Otherwise, return sucess status
            """

            # Make sure we have an object to point to
            self.object = self.get_object()

            form = self.get_form()

            data = {
                'form_valid': form.is_valid()
            }

            if form.is_valid():
                obj = form.save()

                # Include context data about the updated object
                data['pk'] = obj.pk

                try:
                    data['url'] = obj.get_absolute_url()
                except AttributeError:
                    pass

            return self.renderJsonResponse(request, form, data)

My forms.py:-
class SetPasswordForm(HelperForm):
enter_password = forms.CharField(max_length=100, required=True,
widget=forms.PasswordInput(attrs={‘autocomplete’: ‘off’}))
confirm_password = forms.CharField(max_length=100, required=True,
widget=forms.PasswordInput(attrs={‘autocomplete’: ‘off’}))

        class Meta:
            model = User
            fields = [
                'enter_password',
                'confirm_password'
            ]

        def clean(self):
            cleaned_data = super(SetPasswordForm, self).clean()
            enter_password = cleaned_data.get("enter_password")
            confirm_password = cleaned_data.get("confirm_password")

            if enter_password != confirm_password:
                self.add_error('enter_password', " ")
                self.add_error('confirm_password', "Password does not match")

            return cleaned_data

Getting this error:-

Hi

Please format your code better in future posts, it’s hard to read with such broken highlighting.

The information you need is all in the error message and traceback. See “reading tracebacks” in https://www.obeythetestinggoat.com/book/chapter_unit_test_first_view.html .

The problem is that the form class you’re using takes a user argument. But the arguments it’s being passed don’t include user. Maybe youy can add it to the output of get_form_kwargs.

okay thanks, [adamchainz

Please reply on this thread if you know:- how can I also show stock message with there location like “Added %s items to stock with %s location”?
