Interesting result when displaying errors for contrib.auth.forms AuthenticationForm

[Brandon Taylor]

Hi everyone,

I'm leveraging auth and have a login form that uses contrib.auth.forms
AuthenticationForm.

When displaying non-field-specific errors, I get interesting results:

#template.html
# if form.errors
__all__
<ul class="errorlist">
<li>Please enter a correct username and password. Note that both
fields are case-sensitive.</li>
</ul>

Does anyone know how I can get rid of the __all__ ?

TIA,
Brandon

Here you go:

<form id="login_form" action="{% url create_account_or_login %}"
method="post">
<fieldset>
<legend>Login to your Account</legend>
<ol>
<li>
{{ authentication_form.username.label_tag }}
{{ authentication_form.username }}
{{ authentication_form.username.errors }}
</li>
<li>
{{ authentication_form.password.label_tag }}
{{ authentication_form.password }}
{{ authentication_form.password.errors }}
</li>
{% if authentication_form.errors %}
<li>
{{ authentication_form.errors }}
</li>
{% endif %}
<li>
<input class="submit" type="submit" value="Login" />
</li>
</ol>
</fieldset>
</form>

Oh, I see. There is `non_field_errors` form method. It only returns errors that is not associated with concrete field.

{{ authentication_form.non_field_errors }}

`errors` just holds all form errors as a dict.

Ah, thanks Alex!
