django user login error using User authentication()












0















I have a basic login, sign up html page in my Django project:
The login page redirects to the user_login function in views.py as follows:



  <form action="{% url 'user_login' %}" method="POST">. //rest of the code


In urls.py the request is getting forwaded correctly:



   .......#beginnning code

path('user_login', views.user_login, name='user_login'),
path('portfolio', views.portfolio, name='portfolio'),
......


In views.py this is my user_login code to authenticate the user and redirect the user to a 'portfolio.html' page if the user credentials are correct.



I have imported User, Login class as follows:



   from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect
from django.shortcuts import render
from .models import Profile
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.contrib.auth import authenticate, login

# Create your views here.


def index(request):
return render(request, 'mysite/index.html')


def user_login(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
name_r = request.POST.get('name')
password_r = request.POST.get('password')

user = authenticate(username=name_r, password=password_r)

if user:
login(request, user)

#below line might be incorrect
return HttpResponseRedirect('mysite/portfolio.html')
else:
return render(request, 'mysite/login.html')

#rest of the code for signup which is working perfectly.


Whenever i click on Login page, the login page never loads in the first place, let alone checking whether authentication is taking place or not.



The error occurring is as follows:



enter image description here



I am not sure exactly where the error is occuring and what solution must be applied to it.



Please help Thanks!
