updated_{variable_name} not firing

[zurtri]

Hi I have the updated_ function not firing and I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong:

My template:

 <select 
       unicorn:model="new_event_horse" 
       id="new_event_horse"
        class="form-control">

    <option value="">--</option>

    {% for horse in horses %}
        <option value="{{ horse.pk }}">{{ horse.display_name }}</option>
    {% endfor %}

</select>

And then I have this function:

    def updated_new_event_horse(self, value):
        if self.new_event_horse:
            self.new_event_horse_name = "Updated Horse name"
        else:
            self.new_event_horse_name = None

The new_event_horse_name variable is not getting updated and I don't think the updated_new_event_horse() is even being called.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

And you have a new_event_horse field in your component? I was testing in my example with your HTML above and this basic component code:

class TestView(UnicornView):
    horses = [Horse(1, "Horse 1"), Horse(2, "Horse 2")]
    new_event_horse = ""

    def updated_new_event_horse(self, value):
        print(f"updated_new_event_horse value: {value}")

and I'm seeing those print statements in my terminal:

What I didn't realize is that the method actually gets called twice (once for the original value and then a second time for the new value, which seems a little weird to me). But, let me know if I can help troubleshoot in another way.

I am a complete fool!

I have two classes in the one file and I had accidentally put the updated_ function in the wrong class.

So embarrassing.

Thank you so much for your help Adam!

Great! Glad to hear it was an easy fix. 👍
