[Patch] Dtwitter crash if user not logged
:information_source: Please note that the best way to get support for Real Python courses & articles is to join one of our weekly Office Hours calls or in the RP Community Slack.
You can report issues and problems here, but we typically won't be able to provide 1:1 support outside the channels listed above.
Describe the bug If you get from part-4 the source final and load in the browser you get:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Fix
The first lines of the file https://github.com/realpython/materials/blob/master/dwitter-part-4/source_code_final/dwitter/views.py#L7 should be:
from django.shortcuts import render, redirect
from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required
from .forms import DweetForm
from .models import Dweet, Profile
@login_required(login_url='/admin/')
def dashboard(request):
form = DweetForm(request.POST or None)
In this way automatically if the user is not logged get redirect to the admin for login, maybe there are better ways as it is just a prototype, but a prototype shouldn't crash.
