Captcha form is empty when captcha.urls is not included. An error should be raised instead.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Fedora 10. PIL 1.1.6.  django-simple-captcha-0.1.7

Please provide any additional information below.
I tried a basic catpcha form. As soon as I include a CaptchaField() in my
form, the form becomes empty (no field at all, just the submit button) and
there is no error in the runserver. However, each time  I invoke the form a
record is created in the captcha_captchastore table. Thanks for your
assistance.

Okay, and would you mind to attach or paste your form class?

  email =  forms.EmailField()
  login = forms.CharField(max_length=30)
  password1 = forms.CharField(max_length=30, min_length=6, widget=forms.PasswordInput())
  password2 = forms.CharField(max_length=30, min_length=6, widget=forms.PasswordInput())
  captcha = CaptchaField()

That seems ok. 

One last thing, from your project root dir please run 'manage.py test captcha'  

Does that report any errors?

Okay, your form is okay, the tests run fine, ... last thing that could be 
broken is the config, could you paste the 
captcha related settings from your settings.py?

Also, how do you display the form in your template, i.e. {{ form.as_p }}, 
as_table,... ?

Oh, did you include captcha.urls from your main urls.py?

Original comment by mbonetti on 6 Jun 2010 at 6:11

[GoogleCodeExporter]

You are right. I did not include it. With the inclusion it is now working. 
Thanks a
lot for your help. May be there should be some kind of error message when this
happens. Also could you please explain the meaning of this captcha.url ?

Original comment by mrec...@gmail.com on 6 Jun 2010 at 5:07

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Definitely, I'll have to add an error message in this situation, I'll use this 
ticket to track the issue.

By including captcha.urls you basically define an URL that will be used to 
display the image, which is obviously 
required.

• Changed title: _Captcha form is empty when captcha.urls is not included. An error should be raised instead. _

Fixed as of r54 and will be included in the next release. Thank you for the 
error report!
