Django IntegrityError error - django

Question

Getting IntegrityError if I try to enter data through CBV CreateView but everything works fine through admin panel.
Model:

firm = models.ForeignKey(
Firm

max_length=1, choices=ACCOUNT_TYPE_CHOICES
)
category = models.CharField(
max_length=1, choices=ACCOUNT_CATEGORIES
)
sub_category = models.CharField(
max_length=1, choices=ACCOUNT_SUB_CATEGORIES
)
show_in = models.CharField(
max_length=1, choices=SHOW_IN
)
class Meta:
ordering = [
'name'
]
unique_together = (
'firm', 'name'
)
View:
class CreateAccountView(LoginRequiredMixin, CreateView):

def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
context = super(CreateAccountView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
firm_obj = self.get_firm_obj(self.kwargs.get('f_id'))
context['firm_obj'] = firm_obj
return context
def form_valid(self, form):
form.instance.firm = self.get_firm_obj(self.kwargs.get('f_id'))
form.instance.is_default = False
form.instance.sub_category = '4'
super(CreateAccountView, self).form_valid(form)
return HttpResponse(

Exception Type: IntegrityError at /add_account/f/1/
Exception Value: columns firm_id, name are not unique
Using sqlite for development. Everything is working fine through admin panel if I try to enter duplicate entry through admin panel I get Account with this Firm and Name already exists. which is correct but why I'm not seeing this error via CBV

Answer 1

You've excluded firm from the form, and don't add it until after validation, so there's no way the form can validate that the combination of firm and name is unique. You'll need to pass it int the form some other way and check explicitly in the form's clean method that there is no existing instance with that combination.

Answer 2

This definition means "Account with this Firm and Name already exists." You are receiving the same error in both cases,
unique_together = (
'firm', 'name'
)
Exception Value: columns firm_id, name are not unique, that means the same as the admin panel error.
