Trouble with File Upload in Django: Files Not Saving as Expected
I'm relatively new to this, so bear with me... I'm working on a project and hit a roadblock... I'm working on a Django application where I'm trying to implement a file upload feature using Django 3.2. I have a model set up to handle the file storage, but when I try to upload a file, it seems like nothing is being saved. Here’s my model definition: ```python from django.db import models class Document(models.Model): title = models.CharField(max_length=100) file = models.FileField(upload_to='documents/') ``` In my views.py, I have a simple view function that processes the uploaded file: ```python from django.shortcuts import render from .models import Document def upload_file(request): if request.method == 'POST': title = request.POST.get('title') file = request.FILES.get('file') document = Document(title=title, file=file) document.save() return render(request, 'upload_success.html') return render(request, 'upload_form.html') ``` My HTML form looks like this: ```html <form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> {% csrf_token %} <input type="text" name="title" required> <input type="file" name="file" required> <button type="submit">Upload</button> </form> ``` However, when I submit the form, I receive an behavior in my console that reads: "ValueError at /upload/ The 'file' attribute has no file associated with it." I’ve tried checking if the request.FILES contains the file, and it returns an empty QueryDict. I’ve also ensured that the form has the `enctype="multipart/form-data"` attribute. I’ve looked into potential middleware issues, but I don’t have any custom middleware that would interfere with file uploads. Could this be an scenario with how I’m handling the request data or something related to the configuration? Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated. Am I missing something obvious?
