Question

I am write one easy program using GAE and python 2.7, but I met some problem while stored data into db. My code is below:

class MemberInfo(db.Model):
    firstName = db.StringProperty(required=True)

class RegisterPageButtonDown(webapp2.RequestHandler):
    def post(self):
        memberInfo = MemberInfo()       
        memberInfo.firstName = self.request.get('firstName')
        memberInfo.put()

The error raise in “memberInfo = MemberInfo()“, it said “Property firstName is required“. I am sure I put data in html form and the method is post, too.

I’ve been stuck in this problem for whole night, thanks for your reply.

Answer 1

You’ve set the firstName property to required, so when you instantiate an object you must provide that property with a value, e.g.:

memberInfo = MemberInfo(firstName = self.request.get('firstName'))

Alternatively, you can make firstName not required in your model.
