Django - HTML template form does not pass content to django view - django

Question

I'm trying to make a Django application, but I have an Issue that template doesn't pass it's content to view.
this is my form..
<form action="{% url 'view-job' %}" method="post" enctype=application/x-www-form-urlencoded>
{% csrf_token %}
<div>
<label for="name">Job name: </label>
<input type="text" id="name" />
</div>
<div>
<label for="owner">Owner: </label>
<input type="text" id="owner" />
</div>
...
and this is my post handling view (views_job.py)
def job(request, pk=None):
if request.method == 'GET':
return get(request, pk)
elif request.method == 'POST':
return post(request)
...
and post(request)
def post(request):
#data = json.loads(request.body.decode("utf-8"))
#data = load_json(request)
new_job = create_new_job(request)
#new_job = create_new_job(request)
if new_job != False:
return new_job
else:
return HttpResponse(status=500)
create_new_job(req)
def create_new_job(req):
config = parse_config()
try:
queryset = Job.objects.create(
name=req.POST.get('name'),
owner=req.POST.get('owner'),
execute_date=req.POST.get('execute_date'),
created_date=timezone.now(),
master=req.POST.get('master') if 'master' in req.POST != None else config[DEFAULT][MASTER],
deploy_mode=req.POST.get('deploy_mode') if 'deploy_mode' in req.POST != None else config[DEFAULT][DEPLOY_MODE],
conf=req.POST.get('conf'),
classpath=req.POST.get('classpath'),
app_arguments=req.POST.get('app_arguments'),
user_params=req.POST.get('user_params'),
status=READY,
)
#queryset.save()
except:
print("Error")
print(req.POST.get('name'))
return False
return render(req, 'jobUI/job_details.html',
{
#'job':queryset
}
)
The console prints
INFO 2018-03-21 18:48:29,033 basehttp 1321 140106696156928 "GET /jobUI/job/ HTTP/1.1" 200 1799
INFO 2018-03-21 18:48:30,208 basehttp 1321 140106696156928 "GET /jobUI/job/newjob/ HTTP/1.1" 200 1620
Error
None

I don't know why request.POST['name'] is None and other things too..
How can I fix it?
thank you.

Answer 1

Because your input fields don't have a name attribute; without that the browser won't send any data.
Note, you should really be using the Django forms framework for this. And you certainly absolutely shouldn't have a blank except clause.
