So, I’m creating a user confirmation system where a code is created, stored in the session and send through email
I made some prints inside the view that is used to confirm the code and active the user, the code is this one:
def activeThroughCode(request,):
form = VerificationForm()
if request.method == 'POST':
form = VerificationForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid:
entered_code = request.POST.get('verification_code')
stored_code = request.session.get('verification_code')
print("Entered Code:", entered_code)
print("Stored Code:", stored_code)
username = User.objects.get('username')
if entered_code == stored_code:
print(username)
try:
user = User.objects.get(username=username)
user.is_active = True
user.save()
messages.success(request, f'Your account is active with success.')
return redirect('login')
except User.DoesNotExist:
messages.error(request, 'Incorrect verification code.')
return redirect('login')
else:
messages.error(request, f"It wasn't possible to confirm your email")
return render(request, 'activate.html',{'form': form})
When digiting the code in my form, I can confirm through terminal the entered code and stored code are the same, and everything is ok until here
but, for validating my user, I need, obviously, request the user to active and save it, but the result for
username = User.objects.get('username')
if entered_code == stored_code:
print(username)
is None.
I’m 99% sure it’s the only error, because my Exception is being printed to me, so it means the code confirmation is actually working
my forms:
class MyUserCreationForm(UserCreationForm):
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ['username','email','password1','password2']
class VerificationForm(forms.Form):
verification_code = forms.CharField(label='Verification Code', max_length=10)
any idea of what could be wrong?
