Django - Error during template rendering for crispy forms with dynamic fields : 'int' object has no attribute 'get'


I have been trying to implement dynamic forms with a given number of fields and rendering these with crispy forms. However, the following errors are coming when rendering the page:

Template error:
In template C:\Users\USER14\Documents\testprep\lib\site-packages\crispy_forms\templates\bootstrap4\errors.html, error at line 1
   'int' object has no attribute 'get'
   1 :  {% if form.non_field_errors %} 
   2 :     <div class="alert alert-block alert-danger">
   3 :         {% if form_error_title %}<h4 class="alert-heading">{{ form_error_title }}</h4>{% endif %}
   4 :         <ul class="m-0">
   5 :             {{ form.non_field_errors|unordered_list }}
   6 :         </ul>
   7 :     </div>
   8 : {% endif %}
   9 :

Exception Type: AttributeError at /upload/1/SingleCorrect/10/
Exception Value: 'int' object has no attribute 'get'

What exactly prompts this error?

Following are the code snippets I am using.

views.py:

def uploadQP(request,qp,typeofq,numberOfquestion):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form=UploadQuestions(repetitions=numberOfquestion,data=request.POST,files=request.FILES)
        if form.is_valid():
            if typeofq=='SingleCorrect':
                for i in range(numberOfquestion):
                    files=SingleIntegerType()
                    files.QuestionPaper=get_object_or_404(QuestionPaper,pk=qp)
                    files.question=request.FILES['question_%d' % i]
                    files.correct_answer=request.POST['correct_answer_%d' % i]
                    files.QuestionNumber=request.POST['question_number_%d' % i]
                    files.save()
            return redirect('create_q')
    elif request.method=='GET':
        form=UploadQuestions(numberOfquestion)
    return render(request, 'upload_q.html',{'form':form})

forms.py

class UploadQuestions(forms.Form):
    def __init__(self, repetitions, *args, **kwargs):
        super(UploadQuestions, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        for i in xrange(repetitions):
            self.fields['question_number_%d' % i]=forms.IntegerField(label="Enter question number ",widget=forms.NumberInput(attrs={'class': 'form-control', 'placeholder': '1'}))
            self.fields['question_%d' % i] = forms.ImageField(label="Select the Image")
            self.fields['correct_answer_%d' % i] = forms.ChoiceField(label="Select the correct Option",initial=('A','A'),choices=SINGLE_CORRECT_OPTIONS, widget=forms.Select(attrs={'class': 'custom-select category', 'required': 'true'}))

models.py

class SingleIntegerType(models.Model):
    question=models.ImageField(upload_to=create_path)
    correct_answer=models.CharField(max_length=10, choices=SINGLE_CORRECT_OPTIONS)
    QuestionNumber = models.IntegerField(null=True)
    QuestionPaper=models.ForeignKey(QuestionPaper, on_delete=models.DO_NOTHING)
    def __str__(self):
        return str(self.correct_answer)

Solution

  • The code snippet in views.py has been corrected with the help of the comments. The current snippets present a workaround to use a dynamic number of form fields, besides using formsets.
