How to pass Django request object in user_passes_test decorator callable function

Question

I am using Django user_passes_test decorator to check the User Permission.

@user_passes_test(lambda u: has_add_permission(u, \"project\"))
def create_project         


        

Answer 1

Note that Django 1.9 introduced UserPassesTestMixin, which uses a method test_func as test function. This means the request is available in self.request. So you can do something like that:

class MyView(UserPassesTestMixin, View):
    def test_func(self):
        return has_add_permission(self.request.user, self.request)

This only works with class-based views however.
