ClassyCBV doesn't contain everything in django, so that is probably related to your confusion.
In classycbv PasswordChangeView's attributes, you can see form_class = <class 'django.contrib.auth.forms.PasswordChangeForm'> which is what is called in PCV's Post handler <http://ccbv.co.uk/projects/Django/2.1/django.contrib.auth.views/PasswordChangeView/#post> Now, that form is defined here <https://github.com/django/django/blob/2.1/django/contrib/auth/forms.py#L342>, which inherits from SetPasswordForm <https://github.com/django/django/blob/2.1/django/contrib/auth/forms.py#L298>. There's two methods inside that class, save, and clean_new_password2 <https://github.com/django/django/blob/2.1/django/contrib/auth/forms.py#L322-L339> Since these forms inherit from forms.Form <https://github.com/django/django/blob/2.1/django/forms/forms.py#L183>, they all inherit is_valid, which has this comment: """Return True if the form has no errors, or False otherwise.""" So, what you'll need to do is override that `is_valid` method in your custom Form class to do the work for you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
