Python3 Django issues regarding paths and custom decorators - django

Question

Rather new to Django first time using it. Python is not my strong point in a web context - I'm having issues with my custom decorator I made that will decode the jwt from all requests not really sure what it's looking for.
The error message can be found at the very bottom. Below are what my files look like I'm simply trying to use the verify_token() as a decorator to include my custom token checker when receiving an HTTP request ( please don't recommend simple-jwt or django session token ) ultimately not what we want to do as we're working with legacy tables from other DBS and don't want any abstraction)
decorators.py
from django.core.exceptions import PermissionDenied
import jwt
def verify_token(function):
def wrap(request, *args, **kwargs):
if request:
print('========='.format(request))
jwt.decode(request, 'secret', algorithms=['HS256'])
else:
raise PermissionDenied
wrap.__doc__ = function.__doc__
wrap.__name__ = function.__name__
return wrap
views.py
from .User_Predictions.PredictionService import PredicitonController
from django.http import JsonResponse
from rest_framework.views import APIView
from .decorators import verify_token
class UserPredictions(APIView):
#verify_token
def generate_full_report(request):
_predction = PredicitonController()
results = _predction.compile_complete_predition()
return JsonResponse(results, safe=False)
urls.py
from django.urls import path
from .views import UserPredictions
urlpatterns = [
path('compilePredictions/', UserPredictions.generate_full_report, name='generate_full_report')
]

Not really sure what's going on here - I can use other non-custom decorators with no issues

Answer 1

it was the way the decorator was created.
I changed the function name, but you can see the difference.
from django.core.exceptions import PermissionDenied
import jwt
from functools import wraps
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect, HttpResponse
def protected_endpoint(function):
#wraps(function)
def wrap(request, *args, **kwargs):
auth = request.headers.get('Authorization').split()[1]
if auth is None:
return PermissionDenied
elif auth is not None:
try:
session_token = jwt.decode(auth, '', 'utf-8')
except jwt.DecodeError:
return HttpResponse('Invalid Token')
if session_token:
return function(request, *args, **kwargs)
else:
return HttpResponseRedirect('/')
return wrap
