Django - TypeError - save() got an unexpected keyword argument 'force_insert'

Im new in Django and I can't figure out this error. Help please. It gave TypeError - save() got an unexpected keyword argument 'force_insert'. I tested the code below and they were able to save the new user registration but now it won't save anymore...

Here is part of the views.py that i think got some problem:


from django.shortcuts import render, redirect
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm
from django.contrib import messages
from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required
from . forms import UserRegisterForm, UserUpdateForm, ProfileUpdateForm

def register(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = UserRegisterForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
username = form.cleaned_data.get('username')
form.save(force_insert=False)
messages.success(request, f'Thank you {username}! Your account has been created!')
return redirect('login')
else:
form = UserRegisterForm()

return render(request, 'users/register.html', {'form':form})

and the models.py

from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from PIL import Image

class Profile(models.Model):
user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
image = models.ImageField(default='profile_pics/default.jpg', upload_to='profile_pics')

def __str__(self):
return (self.user)

def save(self):
super().save()

img = Image.open(self.image.path)

if img.height > 300 or img.width > 300:
output_size = (300,300)
img.thumbnail(output_size)
img.save(self.image.path)'

You've overridden the save method, but you haven't preserved its signature. Yo need to accept the same arguments as the original method, and pass them in when calling super.

def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
super().save((*args, **kwargs)
...

When you are overriding model's save method in Django, you should also pass `*args` and `**kwargs` to overridden method. this code may work fine:

def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(Profile, self).save(*args, **kwargs)

img = Image.open(self.image.path)

if img.height > 300 or img.width > 300:
output_size = (300,300)
img.thumbnail(output_size)
img.save(self.image.path)'

I had the same problem.

This will fix it:

Edit the super method in your *users/models.py* file:

def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
super.save(*args, **kwargs)

## Python 3 version

I was looking for this error on Google and found this topic. This code solved my problem in Python 3:

```python
def save(self, force_insert=False, force_update=False, using=None, update_fields=None):
super().save(force_insert, force_update, using, update_fields)
```

* Tested with `Django 3.0` and `Python 3.8`.
