Django save() not sending to database

Question

my from is not sending data to database here is my view.py and form.py And yet they are no error reported on my console

views.py

def register(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = RegistrationForm(request.POST)
        return redirect('../login/')
    else:
        form = RegistrationForm()

        args = {'form': form}
        return render(request, 'account/register.html', args)

forms.py


class RegistrationForm(UserCreationForm):
    # first_name forms.CharField(... that i cut here to win some space
    def save(self, commit=True):
        user = super(RegistrationForm, self).save(commit=False)
        user.email = self.cleaned_data['email']
        user.first_name = self.cleaned_data['first_name']
        user.last_name = self.cleaned_data['last_name']

        if commit:    
            user.save()

        return user

in the views.py you forgot to `form.save()` – Wreeecks Feb 17 '20 at 23:55 — Wreeecks, Feb 17 '20 at 23:55

You forgot to call form.save() in your view. That's why your form is never saved.

Fix:

def register(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = RegistrationForm(request.POST)
        form.save()  # <- ATTENTION.
        return redirect('../login/')
    else:
        form = RegistrationForm()

    return render(request, 'account/register.html', {
        'form': form,
    })

Side notes

Don't hardcode the redirect path (i.e. ../login). In your urls.py file, give the url a name (e.g. path('login/', views.my_login, name='my_login')), and use the name to do the redirect (e.g. return redirect('my_login').
