Crispy Form VariableDoesNotExist on Django

Question

For crispy form on Django, I keep getting VariableDoesNotExist at / Failed lookup for key [form] in u\'[{\\\'False\\\': False, \\\'None\\\': None,.....<

Answer 1

I came across the VariableDoesNotExist problem as well with Failed lookup for key [form], but for me the problem was that I mistakenly used generic.DetailView as base class instead of generic.UpdateView.

Changing to UpdateView fixed the problem.

class MyUpdateView(generic.UpdateView):

    template_name = "object_update.html"
    model = MyModel
    form_class = MyCreateForm
