Question

even though its a calss based func why is this attribute error popping up when i use login_required

error Message

AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'as_view'

views.py

@login_required(login_url='/admin/')
class UpdateActiveStatus(UpdateView):
    model = Timeline
    form_class = UpdateActiveStatus
    template_name = 'timeline.html'
    success_url = reverse_lazy('timeline')

I think the issue is generated for the decorator. Just change it like ->

@method_decorator(login_required, name='dispatch')
class UpdateActiveStatus(UpdateView):
    model = FutsalTimeline
    form_class = UpdateActiveStatus
    template_name = 'timeline.html'
    success_url = reverse_lazy('timeline')

• But you should use the Mixin classes. With Mixin class It will look like

    from django.contrib.auth.mixins import LoginRequiredMixin
    class UpdateActiveStatus(LoginRequiredMixin, UpdateView):
        model = FutsalTimeline
        form_class = UpdateActiveStatus
        template_name = 'timeline.html'
        success_url = reverse_lazy('timeline')
