List Index out of Range

[Eugene TUYIZERE]

Good day all,

I need assistance. Am trying to save data from the below form but I am getting list out of range error

 can someone help me to write a successful save function?

here is the code I am using:

def submit_work(request):

if request.method != "POST":

return HttpResponse("<h2>Method Not Allowed</h2>")

else:

pillar_id=request.POST.get("pillar")

object_id=request.POST.get("objects")

output_id=request.POST.get("output")

activity_id=request.POST.get("activity")

input_list=request.POST.getlist("input[]")

time_frame_list=request.POST.getlist("timeframe[]")

responsible_list=request.POST.getlist("responsible[]")

j=0

for inp in input_list:

wf=WORKFRAMS(pillar_id=pillar_id,object_id=object_id,output_id=output_id,activity_id=activity_id,

input=inp,time_frame=time_frame_list[j],responsible=responsible_list[j])

wf.save()

j=j+1

return HttpResponse("OK")

Regards, 

TUYIZERE Eugene

Which line in your code is triggering the error?

Make sure you fill all the inputs with list and also make sure that you provide the correct input name to request.POST.getlist() method otherwise it will returns empty list which will raise IndexError

Adding to above 2 answers index error may also occur when your time_frame_list or responsible_list does not have the same number of items as your input_list. You should try bnmng' s answer also 

> Which line in your code is triggering the error?

you check it with simple print statements or using a debugger in vscode, or with ipdb.set_trace()
