14525 Bug - exception in messages.info(), etc when using unicode characters. Michael Angeletti nobody "On http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_thread/thread/2c3b0d0b518d0c2f I reported that Unicode values causes an exception when passed into messages.info() (and other 3 messages methods). In my report, I erroneously suggested that a Unicode character in the URL's GET parameters would cause the exception. The following example will reproduce the exception (includes extraneous steps for the sake of completion):
== Example: ==
{{{
# The following assumes that settings are default, except the for SQLLite3 database setting, and file path, and the installed apps setting.
# Model
class Foo(Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
# Form
class FooForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Foo
# View
def create_foo(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = FooForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
instance = form.save()
messages.info(request, 'Thanks, {0}.'.format(instance.name))
return redirect('foo_thanks')
else:
form = FooForm()
data = {
'form': form,
}
context = RequestContext(request, data)
template = Template(""""""
Bug Page
Type ° (alt + 0176) into the name field, and hit submit.
"""""")
output = template.render(context)
return HttpResponse(output)
def foo_thanks(request):
return HttpResponse('No need to render message, as exception occurs upon creation.')
}}}
