TemplateView compatible with permission_required decorator?

[Victor Hooi]

Hi,

I'm attempting to use one of the new class-based TemplateView with the permission_required decorator:

@permission_required('foo.count_peas')

class Pea(TemplateView):

    template_name = "pea.html"

However, when I do that, I get an error:

Exception Type: AttributeError at /someurl/
Exception Value: 'function' object has no attribute 'as_view'

If I comment out the permission_required decorator, the view seems to work fine.

Are the new class-based views compatible with the permission_required decorator?

Or is there something I need to do to make them work together.

Cheers,

Victor

Instead, you should decorate the dispatch method in the class-based
view. See the docs here:
