python - DRF - KeyError on Date value when posting a JSON object

Question

My problem is similar to what has been posted here but with some differences. I am writing a user creation web interface with Django (ver. 2) Rest Framework (ver. 3.7) on Python 3.6, using Django's AbstractUser class.

My views.py:

   def post(self, request, format=None):
        serializer = UserProfileSerializer(data=request.data)
        if serializer.is_valid(raise_exception=True):
            serializer.save()
            return Response(serializer.data, status=status.HTTP_201_CREATED)
        return Response(serializer.errors, status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST)

My serializers.py :

class UserProfileSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):

    avatar = Base64ImageField()
    official_docs = Base64ImageField()

    class Meta:
        model = UserProfile
        fields = '__all__'
        extra_kwargs = {'password': {'write_only': True},
                        }


    def create(self, validated_data):
        hashed_password = make_password(validated_data['password'])  # get the hashed password
        user = UserProfile(
            username=validated_data['username'],
            email = validated_data['email'],
            first_name= validated_data['first_name'],
            last_name= validated_data['last_name'],
            phone_number=validated_data['phone_number'],
            avatar=validated_data.pop('avatar'),
            gender=validated_data['gender'],
            city=validated_data['city'],
            description=validated_data['description'],
            date_of_birth=validated_data.pop('date_of_birth'),
            official_docs=validated_data.pop('official_docs'),
            team_name=validated_data['team_name'],
            debit_card_number=validated_data['debit_card_number'],
            favorite_music=validated_data['favorite_music'],
        )
        user.set_password(hashed_password)
        user.save()
        return user

Now when I post a JSON string to create user, I always have below error :

File "views.py" in post
  27.             serializer.save()

File ".virtualenvs/Django/lib/python3.6/site-packages/rest_framework/serializers.py" in save
  214.             self.instance = self.create(validated_data)

File "serializers.py" in create
  36.             date_of_birth=validated_data.pop('date_of_birth'),

Exception Type: KeyError at /users/
Exception Value: 'date_of_birth'

I have checked different sources and tried different methods to deserialize and save the JSON object but had no luck. Can someone show me where my problem is?

P.S: As requested, I've added my models.py :

class UserProfile(AbstractUser):

    "The Profile of a user with details are stored in this model."

    username = models.TextField(primary_key=True, max_length=11)
    first_name = models.TextField(max_length=50,blank=True,default='')
    last_name = models.TextField(max_length=100,blank=True,default='')
    phone_number = models.TextField(max_length=11,blank=True,default='')
    avatar = models.ImageField(blank=True, default='../Static/1.jpeg')
    GENDER_CHOICES = (
        ('M','Male'),
        ('F','Female'),
    )
    gender = models.CharField(max_length=1,choices=GENDER_CHOICES, default='M')
    city = models.TextField(max_length=25, blank=True, default='NY')
    description = models.TextField(max_length=2000, blank=True, default='')
    interests = models.ManyToManyField(Config_Table, blank=True, default='')
    date_of_birth = models.DateField(auto_now_add=True,blank=True)
    official_docs = models.ImageField(blank=True, default='../Static/1.jpeg')
    team_name = models.TextField(blank=True,default='')
    debit_card_number = models.IntegerField(blank=True, default=0)
    MUSIC_CHOICES = (
        ('Rock','Rock Music'),
        ('Trad','Traditional Music'),
        ('Elec','Electronic Music'),
        ('Clas','Classical Music')
    )
    favorite_music = ArrayField(models.TextField(blank=True,default=''),size=2,blank=True, default='{}')

and a sample data :

Please add the UserProfile model to the post. Also user.set_password expects the raw password as input, not the hashed password. Please change that in your code — rtindru

date_of_birth removed from validated data because you added auto_now_add=True to this field. This tells to serializer that value will be set automatically and that it's not required to receive it from user. To fix it just remove auto_now_add=True in model:

date_of_birth = models.DateField(blank=True)

and run makemigrations and migrate.

Also as rtindru said in comment you don't need hashed_password = make_password(validated_data['password']) in serializer's create methos. set_password will make hashing for you, just use:

user.set_password(validated_data['password')
