This is the view in question:
def index(request):
if request.user.is_authenticated():
HttpResponseRedirect('/dashboard')
else:
return render(request, 'index.html')
And when I get to the index page, I get this:
ValueError at /
The view foobar.views.index didn't return an HttpResponse object. It returned None instead.
What could be the problem here?
Are you authenticated when viewing that page? You'd need to make sure you also return the HttpResponseRedirect object in that case:
def index(request):
if request.user.is_authenticated():
return HttpResponseRedirect('/dashboard')
else:
return render(request, 'index.html')
Otherwise you create a HttpResponseRedirect object but you don't return it so that means the code will continue and the function will return None (which is the default return value of all functions / methods in Python).
Return was missing from if block.
def index(request):
if request.user.is_authenticated():
return HttpResponseRedirect('/dashboard')
else:
return render(request, 'index.html')
