Root Cause

View function does not return any value, or returns None implicitly.

generic

中文

视图函数没有返回任何值,或隐式返回None。

Workarounds

  1. 95% success Ensure every code path returns an HttpResponse
    def my_view(request):
        if condition:
            return HttpResponse('OK')
        return HttpResponse('Not OK')
  2. 90% success Use render or redirect
    return render(request, 'template.html')

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Adding print statements instead of return 90% fail

    View must return an HttpResponse.

  2. Using return without value 80% fail

    Returns None.
