I have this view that is set to handle a POST request which will carry a formData with user authentication data.
@app.post("/token", response_model=Token)
async def login_for_access_token(request: Request,
form_data: Annotated[OAuth2PasswordRequestForm, Depends(
)]
):
user = authenticate_user(USERS, form_data.username, form_data.password)
if not user:
raise HTTPException(
status_code=status.HTTP_401_UNAUTHORIZED,
detail="Incorrect username or password",
headers={"WWW-Authenticate": "Bearer"},
)
access_token_expires = timedelta(minutes=ACCESS_TOKEN_EXPIRE_MINUTES)
access_token = create_access_token(
data={"sub": user.username}, expires_delta=access_token_expires
)
rr = RedirectResponse('/home', status_code=303)
rr.set_cookie(key="session_token", value=access_token)
return rr
As you can see I am trying to verify if the user exists. If so I will redirect the user to the "/home" route. I ran the server and do the authentication process, this is what the server logs:
INFO: 127.0.0.1:44354 - "POST /token HTTP/1.1" 302 Found
INFO: 127.0.0.1:44354 - "GET /home HTTP/1.1" 200 OK
Which is a confirmation that everything worked fine I suposse. But then again, the user wasn't really redirected, because when I click in the "submit" button inside the login.html template, I still continue in the same view I was before.
I have tried getting ride of the Jinja2Templates template and return a json object instead inside the home view to see if the rendering of the template was the problem, and it was not. Apart from that I haven't really tried anything because I have no idea what to try, since it seems that the server side part of the code has no visible bug.
