Why doesn't get_context_data() work with get()?

Question

Django

I have overridden the get_context_data method in my ListView :

def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
    context = super(GoodsList, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
    context['some_context'] = 'Some context'
    return context

This way I get the context in my template. But if I want to process the request in the same class with the get() method, then the context is no longer passed to the template, and calling the get_context_data() method in the get() method throws an exception:

object has no attribute 'object_list'

.
In general, how to properly process the request and add the context for use in the template?

Answer 1

You need to look at the inheritance hierarchy of CBV and mixins, understand the order of calling methods, and the question will disappear.
