Login form error not showing up for wrong username/password combo

[Tom Tanner]

I have this code in my login form.

 {% for field in login_form %}
  <p>{{ field }}</p>
  {% if field.errors %}
   <p class="text-danger">{{ field.errors.as_text|cut:"* "|escape }}</p>
  {% endif %}
 {% endfor %}

The user must enter a valid email address in the "username" field. If the user enters a string not formatted like an email, I'll see this error in the `p` tag: "Enter a valid email address."

But if the user enters a bad email/password combo, nothing shows up. In my `views.py`, I have a section that looks something like

if login_form.is_valid:
  ...
else:
  print login_form.errors

Here's what Django prints to console. "<ul class="errorlist"><li>__all__<ul class="errorlist nonfield"><li>Please enter a correct username and password. Note that both fields may be case-sensitive.</li></ul></li></ul>"

Why does the error print to console but not into my `p` tag?

Hi Tom,

It seems like your are trying to show error that relates to form rather to particular field.

I see '__all__' key in example from console.

And you did not create any html tag to show such errors on the page.

All I see that you printed just field specific errors.

Probably you should print at the top of your form something like this:

<p>{{ form.non_field_errors }}</>

Regards,

Constantine C.
