Hi Robert,
To point out the most likely cause of the issue: LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL is a url,
not a route name.
Possibly could use a reverse_lazy('login-redirect') here after import
django.urls, but - untested.
Regards,
David

I have a Django view that I redirect a user to after they login:
# settings.py
LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = 'login-redirect'
# account/urls.py
urlpatterns = [
path('', include('django.contrib.auth.urls')),
...
]
# home/views.py
from account.models import Member
def login_redirect(request):
"""
Redirect member to appropriate page when they log in.
"""
member = Member.objects.get(user__id__exact=request.user.id)
if member.has_profile:
return redirect('homepage', member_id=member.id)
else:
return redirect('profile-create', member_id=member.id)
If I start Django's development server and execute this code when the condition
```member.has_profile = True```, Django redirects me to the homepage view as
expected. But if I then go into the database and set has_profile to False,
restart the web server, and execute code again, my website acts as if the code
isn't executed. Instead, I'm sent immediately to the homepage view again. I
can see this by looking at the terminal console:
[19/Feb/2021 ...] "GET /account/login/ HTTP/1.0" 200 4268 # I'm using
Django's default login method
[19/Feb/2021 ...] "POST /account/login HTTP/1.0" 302 0
[19/Feb/2021 ...] "GET /home/login_redirect/ HTTP/1.0" 200 4599
This happens even though I am restarting the server and clearing my browser's
cache. In fact, I can edit the login_redirect function so that it only
contains a single line ```pass``` and I'm still sent to the homepage after
logging in.
def login_redirect(request):
pass
Why is this happening? I'm not doing a permanent redirect. And should I not
be using the redirect method in my login_redirect method to send a user to a
different page depending on whether or not they have a profile?
