Access self.request.user

[caclement]

In the documentation it seems you managed to refer to self.request.user when creating customs filters.

https://django-slick-reporting.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/filter_form.html

    def get_filters(self):
        # return the filters to be used in the report
        # Note: the use of Q filters and kwargs filters
        filters = {}
        q_filters = []
        if self.cleaned_data["secure"] == "secure":
            filters["is_secure"] = True
        elif self.cleaned_data["secure"] == "non-secure":
            filters["is_secure"] = False
        if self.cleaned_data["method"]:
            filters["method"] = self.cleaned_data["method"]
        if self.cleaned_data["response"]:
            filters["response"] = self.cleaned_data["response"]
        if self.cleaned_data["other_people_only"]:
            q_filters.append(~Q(user=self.request.user))

However when I do it, I get an error :

    def get_filters(self):
        filters = {}
        q_filters = []
        filters["location_id"] = self.cleaned_data["location_id"]
        filters["test"] = self.request.user.email
        return q_filters, filters

The error is : AttributeError: 'ManagerForm' object has no attribute 'request'

Hello, Thank you for this. Yes the documentation is missing that

1. the form is accepting the request on its init, and attaching it to self
2. How the view sends the request to the form

class MyReport(ReportView):
    # ....       
    def get_form_kwargs(self):
          kwargs = super().get_form_kwargs()
          kwargs["request"] = self.request # send the request as a form kwarg, as you'd do in any CBV
          return kwargs

class RequestLogForm(BaseReportForm, forms.Form):
    # ... 
    def __init__(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        # special init signature to accept the request and attach it
        self.request = request 
        # ....
