[Django]-FormView does not execute the form_valid() method

2👍

your views.py will be better if you have form_valid and form_invalid methods and also you have to edit your success_url similar to this.

class BraintreePaymentProcessFormView(FormView):
    template_name = 'startupconfort/cart.html'
    success_url = '/'
    form_class = BraintreeSaleForm
    http_method_names  = ['post']
    success_url = reverse_lazy('my_shopping_cart')

    def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
        # import ipdb; ipdb.set_trace()
        context = super().get_context_data(**kwargs)
        context['client_token'] = get_braintree_client_token()
        return context

    def form_valid(self, form):
        # import ipdb; ipdb.set_trace()
        user = self.request.user
        nonce = form.cleaned_data['payment_method_nonce']

        result = braintree.Transaction.sale({
            "amount": get_total_price_of_the_shipping_cart(user),
            "payment_method_nonce": nonce,
            "options": {
                "submit_for_settlement": True
            }
        })
        reverse_lazy('my_shopping_cart')
        # import ipdb; ipdb.set_trace()
        if result.is_success or result.transaction:
            print(result.transaction)
            messages.success(self.request, 'Payment proceed successfully')
            # Add Total into db with User Name and Product  + Quantity

            #send email
            user = self.request.user
            billing_email = user.shipping_address.billing_email
            customer_name = user.shipping_address.customer_name
            #total values
            #msg

            # Email with mailjet..
            msg = EmailMultiAlternatives(
                subject="Please activate your account",
                body="Click to activate your account: http://localhost:8000/",
                from_email="Example <admin@example.com>",
                to=[
                    "New User <user1@example.com>"
                    ],
                reply_to=["Helpdesk <support@example.com>"]
            )

            # Send it:
            # msg.send()

            #Clear Cart
            CartItem.objects.filter(customer=user).all().delete()
            # return super().form_valid(form)
            import ipdb; ipdb.set_trace()      
        return HttpResponseRedirect(self.get_success_url()) 

        def form_invalid(self,form):
        # Add action to invalid form phase
            messages.success(self.request, 'An error occured while processing the payment')
            return self.render_to_response(self.get_context_data(form=form))
