Django "The submitted file is empty" - django

Question

I have used multiple FileFields in a model and my app gives error "The submitted file is empty" on execution, folowing are the details of my code:
My models.py:
class KBCTest(models.Model):
algorithm = models.CharField(max_length=10, blank=False)
entityFile = models.FileField(blank=False,
upload_to=updateFilename,
validators=[validateTestingFileExtension])
relationFile = models.FileField(blank=False,
upload_to=updateFilename,
validators=[validateTestingFileExtension])
My forms.py
class KBCTestForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = KBCTest
fields = ('algorithm', 'entityFile', 'relationFile')
def clean(self):
super(KBCTestForm, self).clean()
data = self.cleaned_data
return data
My views.py:
def testing(request):
title = 'Testing'
template = 'testing.html'
form = ''
if request.method == 'GET':
form = KBCTestForm()
if request.method == 'POST':
form = KBCTestForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
runAlgo = Run(form.cleaned_data)
runAlgo.configAndTest()
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('learning', kwargs={'function': 'testing'}))
context = {'title': title, 'form': form}
return render(request, template, context)
My template:
{% if request.user.is_authenticated %}
<div class='col-sm-4 col-sm-offset-4'>
<h1>{{ title }}</h1>
<!-- If form not rendered(i.e. views context) don't show submit button -->
{% if form %}
<!-- Use 'csrf_token' to prevent cross-site forgery -->
<form enctype='multipart/form-data' method='POST', action=''>
{% csrf_token %}
{{ form|crispy }} </br>
{{ form.non_field_errors|crispy }}
<input type='submit' value='Test' class='btn btn-default'/>
</form>
{% endif %}
</div>
{% endif %}
When I run this template it fails to validate the form and gives error "The submitted file is empty" error as visible in the screenshot below:

Check out this part of the Django docs, where it mentions the parameter allow_empty_file for the forms.FileField. Maybe it gives you a few clues.
Note: I'm not exactly sure how this applies to ModelForm or Model.FileField.
