    text
    copied!<p>I try to implement a view based on BaseDeleteView for a website that acts as a frontend to an REST backend. Both sides communicate over HTTP requests. What I want to achieve is that I send a <code>GET</code> request to an activation URI (send per email after registration). Inside this view I first send a HTTP request to a backend, and then delete the activation object from the database of the frontend. I don't want to have a confirmation page, so <code>DeleteView</code> is not possible.</p> <pre><code>class ActivationView(BaseDeleteView): success_url = "/activation/success/" def get_object(self, queryset=None): uuid = self.kwargs['uuid'] try: obj = AccountRegistration.objects.get(uuid=uuid) except ObjectDoesNotExist: raise Http404('Registration not found.') return obj def delete(self, request, *args, **kwargs): obj = self.get_obj() if obj.expire_date &lt; datetime.now(): obj.delete() raise Http404('Registration expired.') # send a http request to the backend t = Transaction('/activate/%s/' % obj.account_name) t.emit() # delete the object obj.delete() # and redirect the request return HttpResponseRedirect(self.get_success_url()) </code></pre> <p>My <code>urls.py</code> looks like that:</p> <pre><code>url(r'^activate/(?P&lt;uuid&gt;\w+)/$', ActivationView.as_view(), name="account-activate"), </code></pre> <p>But I get the following error:</p> <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/crito/.pythonbrew/venvs/Python-2.7.2/thirty-web/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/staticfiles/handlers.py", line 68, in __call__ return self.application(environ, start_response) File "/home/crito/.pythonbrew/venvs/Python-2.7.2/thirty-web/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/handlers/wsgi.py", line 272, in __call__ response = self.get_response(request) File "/home/crito/.pythonbrew/venvs/Python-2.7.2/thirty-web/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 169, in get_response response = self.handle_uncaught_exception(request, resolver, sys.exc_info()) File "/home/crito/.pythonbrew/venvs/Python-2.7.2/thirty-web/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 203, in handle_uncaught_exception return debug.technical_500_response(request, *exc_info) File "/home/crito/.pythonbrew/venvs/Python-2.7.2/thirty-web/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 111, in get_response response = callback(request, *callback_args, **callback_kwargs) File "/home/crito/.pythonbrew/venvs/Python-2.7.2/thirty-web/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/views/generic/base.py", line 47, in view return self.dispatch(request, *args, **kwargs) File "/home/crito/.pythonbrew/venvs/Python-2.7.2/thirty-web/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/views/generic/base.py", line 68, in dispatch return handler(request, *args, **kwargs) File "/home/crito/.pythonbrew/venvs/Python-2.7.2/thirty-web/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/views/generic/detail.py", line 100, in get return self.render_to_response(context) AttributeError: 'ActivationView' object has no attribute 'render_to_response' </code></pre> <p>In my eyes it shouldn't even call render_to_response. Any ideas?</p>
