Form Wizard doesn't save File

[Samoht1]

I have a 5 step form wizard, each their own form. I have a FileField in the first, but something is going wrong. When I reach the final step and press submit, my model gets saved but the file field is empty in my database. It's not "null", but actually empty. I created the "file_storage" variable but that only stores the file temporarily, it get's deleted as soon as I submit the form

this is my wizard class:

import json
import logging
import os

import keyboard
from django.conf import settings
from django.core.files.storage import FileSystemStorage
from django.core.mail import EmailMessage
from django.http import HttpResponse, HttpResponseRedirect
from django.shortcuts import render
from formtools.wizard.views import SessionWizardView

from .forms import *

logger = logging.getLogger('django')

FORMS = [
    ("company", CompanyForm),
    ("addresses", AddressesForm),
    ("references", ReferenceFormSet),
    ("contacts", ContactFormSet),
    ("payment", PaymentForm),
    # ("upload", DocumentForm),

]

TEMPLATES = {
    "company":    "form/step-1.html",
    "addresses":  "form/step-2.html",
    "references": "form/step-3.html",

I'm having the same issue for a few hours now, and I can't find the cause.

(Pdb) self.request.FILES
<MultiValueDict: {}>
(Pdb) form_dict['profile_info'].files
<MultiValueDict: {}>
(Pdb) form_dict['profile_info'].data
<MultiValueDict: {.... 'onboarding_wizard-current_step': ['profile_info'], 'profile_info-avatar_file': ['242434811_582079809594246_1047266963691802278_n.jpg'], 'profile_info-short_description': ['dasd'], 'profile_info-description': ['adad'], 'profile_info-facebook': [''], 'profile_info-soundcloud': [''], 'profile_info-youtube': [''], 'profile_info-instagram': ['']}>

As we can see the 'profile_info-avatar_file': ['242434811_582079809594246_1047266963691802278_n.jpg'] shows a file, but everything else is empty.

I'm using

class OnboardingWizard(LoginRequiredMixin, SessionWizardView):
    file_storage = default_storage

but I also tried other approaches with the SystemFileStorage without any luck. Did you figure it out @Samoht1 ?

SOLUTION

Adding enctype="multipart/form-data" to the form worked for me

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="" method="post">

@Samoht1 could this be closed?
