'WSGIRequest' object has no attribute 'update'

Question

I've gone through some solutions for a similar problem but none of these worked:

'WSGIRequest' object has no attribute 'session'

'WSGIRequest' object has no attribute 'facebook'

I'm building a search page which is as follows:

views.py

def search(request):
    if 'query' in request.GET and request.GET['query']:
        q = request.GET['query']
        ct = Product.objects.filter(Q(name__icontains=q) | Q(desc__icontains=q) | Q(category__icontains=q))
        count = ct
        paginate = Paginator(ct, 10)
        page = request.GET.get('page')
        try:
            ct = paginate.page(page)
        except PageNotAnInteger:
            ct = paginate.page(1)
        except EmptyPage:
            ct = paginate.page(paginate.num_pages)
        dictionary = {'results': ct, 'count': count, 'query': q, }
        return render_to_response('search.html', dictionary, request)
    else:
        content = {'contentnotfound': 'Hi, you did not search for anything. Please go back or use the search box above.'}
        return render(request, 'search.html', content)

The complete traceback for this is:

urls.py is as follows:

 url(r'^search$', views.search, name='search'),

I've done the same thing before with another project and it worked perfectly.

Answer 1

return render_to_response('search.html', dictionary, request)

您将请求作为上下文实例传递，而应该传递django.template.Context实例（尽管您可能希望使用其子类RequestContext ）。

Answer 2

You've correctly used the new render shortcut in the last line. In the line before the else clause, though, you've used the older render_to_response and passed request as the last parameter. You should use render there too, with request as the first param:

return render(request, 'search.html', dictionary)
