Django "AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'as_view'"

Question

when i use user_passes_test decorators an error display :

"AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'as_view'"

this is my code :

urls.py :

url(r'^user/admin/$', UpdateAdminView.as_view(), name='admin'),

views.py :

@user_passes_test(lambda u: u.is_superuser)
@method_decorator(login_required, name='dispatch')
class UpdateAdminView(TemplateView):
    template_name = "admin.html"

You should put method decorator. check this stackoverflow.com/questions/6069070/… — Rohan

You should use the method decorator for your superuser check, just as you do for login required.

Since a user must be logged in to be a superuser, you can remove the login_required decorator in this case.

superuser_required = user_passes_test(lambda u: u.is_superuser)

@method_decorator(superuser_required, name='dispatch')
class UpdateAdminView(TemplateView):
    template_name = "admin.html"

You may want to look at UserPassesTestMixin as an alternative for class based views.
