💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using form.is_valid() to check errors (it returns True if no errors).

Trying to call a non-existent method like form.has_errors().

The form.errors attribute returns a dictionary of errors if the form has any. Checking it directly tells if there are errors.

Complete the code to display non-field errors in a Django template.

Django

  <ul>
  {% for error in form.[1] %}
    <li>{{ error }}</li>
  {% endfor %}
  </ul>
{% endif %}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using form.errors which iterates over field names, not messages.

Trying to use a non-existent attribute like all_errors.

In Django templates, form.non_field_errors is an ErrorList containing non-field errors for the form. It can be iterated to display messages.

Fix the error in the code to add a custom error to a form field.

Django

def clean_username(self):
    username = self.cleaned_data.get('username')
    if username == 'admin':
        self.[1]('username', 'This username is not allowed.')
    return username

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using raise_error which is not a form method.

Trying to set errors by assigning directly to a field.

The add_error method adds an error message to a specific field in the form.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to check if the form is valid and then access the errors.

Django

if form.[1]():
    print(form.[2])

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using is_error() which does not exist.

Trying to access errors before checking validity.

First, form.is_valid() checks if the form data is valid. form.errors contains the error details if invalid (empty dict if valid).

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to add a non-field error and then check if the form has any errors.

Django

form.[1](None, '[2]')
if form.[3]:
    print('There are errors')

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Passing a field name instead of None for non-field errors.

Checking is_valid instead of errors to detect errors.

Use add_error(None, message) to add a non-field error. Then check form.errors to see if any errors exist.
