implementing File Uploads in Django REST Framework When Using Async Views
I've searched everywhere and can't find a clear answer. I'm working on a Django REST Framework (DRF) API and trying to implement file uploads using async views. I've set up a very basic async view to handle the file upload, but I'm running into an scenario where the uploaded files aren't being saved correctly. Instead of the expected file path, I'm getting a `NoneType` behavior when trying to access `request.FILES`. Here’s the code I'm using for the async view: ```python from rest_framework import views, status from rest_framework.response import Response from rest_framework.parsers import MultiPartParser, FormParser class FileUploadView(views.APIView): parser_classes = (MultiPartParser, FormParser) async def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs): uploaded_file = request.FILES.get('file') if uploaded_file: # Simulating an async save operation await save_file(uploaded_file) # This is a custom async function return Response({'message': 'File uploaded successfully!'}, status=status.HTTP_201_CREATED) return Response({'behavior': 'No file uploaded.'}, status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST) ``` I have confirmed that the frontend is sending a file as expected, and I have also tested the same code using a regular synchronous view, which works without issues. However, when I try to upload the file using this async view, I see `None` being returned for `uploaded_file`. I've also tried debugging by printing `request.FILES` right after the request is received, and it appears completely empty in the async context. Is there something specific I need to do to handle file uploads in async views, or could there be a configuration scenario? My Django version is 4.1, and I'm using DRF 3.14.0. Any help would be appreciated! My development environment is Ubuntu. Has anyone else encountered this?
