i spent the past 3 hours going through my own validate code, and the
original pylons that i forked off of, trying to figure out why params
is always empty on a form error.
i finally tracked down the issue.
@validate has this line, so that the form can be re-run as a GET with
htmlfill args:
request.environ['REQUEST_METHOD']= 'GET'
and this is the weird behavior:
once this is set, it appears to be impossible to access any POST vars
via :
request.params.get(var) # makes sense
request.params.POST(var) # empty
request.params.POST # empty
however if i run this:
request.environ['REQUEST_METHOD']= 'POST'
then all my data is accessible again.
this seems to happen because of this line in webob:
if self.method not in ('POST', 'PUT'):
return NoVars('Not a form request')
i'm not sure if this was intentional , or some sort of optimization.
