Upload of file with FileField working in admin but not in template

[Alexander Joseph]

I'm using CBVs and trying to upload a file with a FileField. It seems to work in admin but not in my template. It doesnt give any errors when creating the record and it saves the rest of the data in the form, but it doesnt save the attachment

Heres my model

class LaserMaskDesign(models.Model):

    laser_mask_design_ui = models.CharField(max_length=60, unique=True) # Wafer Design UI

    mask_layers = models.CharField(max_length=255, default='', blank=True, null=True)

    design_date = models.DateTimeField(blank=True, null=True)

    designer = models.CharField(max_length=255, default='', blank=True, null=True)

    pcm = models.CharField(max_length=255, default='', blank=True, null=True)

    critical_dimensions = models.DecimalField(max_digits=20, decimal_places=4, default=0.0000, blank=True, null=True)

    dimensions = models.CharField(max_length=255, default='')

    thickness = models.DecimalField(max_digits=20, decimal_places=4, default=0.0000, blank=True, null=True)

    material = models.CharField(max_length=255, default='', blank=True, null=True)

    number_of_products = models.IntegerField(default=0, blank=True, null=True)

    chip_list = models.CharField(max_length=255, default='', blank=True, null=True)

    design_document = models.FileField(blank=True, null=True)

    notes = models.TextField(blank=True, null=True, default='')

    created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

    created_by = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL)

    in_trash = models.BooleanField(default=False)

    inactive_date = models.DateTimeField(blank=True, null=True)

    class Meta:

        ordering = ['laser_mask_design_ui', ]

    def __str__(self):

        return self.laser_mask_design_ui

    def get_absolute_url(self):

        return reverse("engineering:laser_mask_design_detail", kwargs={"pk": self.pk})

and my view

class GaasWaferDesignCreateView(LoginRequiredMixin, CreateView,):

    fields = ("design_ui", "emitting", "contact_location", "optical_power", "design_date", "designer", "design_document", "designer_ui", "in_trash", "inactive_date", "notes")

    model = GaasWaferDesign

    template_name = 'engineering/gaas_wafer_designs/gaas_wafer_design_form.html'

    def form_valid(self, form):

        object = form.save(commit=False)

        object.created_by = self.request.user

        object.save()

        return super(GaasWaferDesignCreateView, self).form_valid(form)

and my template

Hi,

The problem isn't CBV's, it's probably your template.

You have the following:

 <form method='POST'>

But it should be:

 <form method='POST' enctype="multipart/form-data">

Otherwise the browser doesn't know how to encode the files....

Regards,

Andréas
