Empty Request.FILES with Django Upload forms

Question

Trying to use a very simple form to upload a file into a new class instance. I am expecting to have both files in request.FILES but it\'s empty. I am on the bun

Answer 1

I know this is an old question, but it is the first result on google for "django request.file empty" so I would like to add a potential solution after searching for two days:

If you submit your files through ajax, make sure to send your form via formData() instead of form.serialize()
