Hi all, I've just spent a good portion of the day trying to figure out this issue.
I have a sprox EditableForm (inherited, with no special settings, __base_widget_type__ is ListForm). I have a standard RestController with edit(...) and put(...) methods. The put(...) has a @validate(form=edit_form, error_handler=edit) decorator. I'm displaying it in the template the standard way calling tmpl_context.widget(value = value) (setting both widet and value myself in edit(...)). When there is a validation error, the form gets displayed with the error messages. The text fields are correctly displaying the the content that was in the form before posting it, but the selectboxes are getting displayed with no value set. Not even the one that is currently stored in the database. By logging inside the DecoratedController code I've found out that the values used to fill the widget are not taken from the value dict I'm passing it. I don't see this in the documentation. By crawling through the code I've discovered tmpl_context.form_values being set inside DecoratedController. This is not used either. I logged all the variables right before the template is rendered, tried to set dummy values, its just not being used. I tried to render the widget in the same spot and log the output, it had the wrong values. It seems the validation code is being run once again inside the widget? But even if it is, it is supposed to use the values I sent it, and it is not doing so. I am clueless. The ToscaWidgets code is complicated as hell and I wasn't even able to find the place where the values are set. What is happening in there? And what's the thing with the validation code being all over the place? It is in the DecoratedController, there is some code in sprox, even more in ToscaWidgets and tg.crud seems to have some of its own too. I don't wanna spend a week studying the source code. Also, if someone has a tip on debugging these issues, I'm all ears. cheers lukash -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
