boundfield.py -- render() got an unexpected keyword argument 'renderer'

Question

i see this error many times here and it seems to be different each time. I'm working on a geodjango app with leaflet. and i'm getting this error since i installed leaflet. I rode this in an other post:

• Support for Widget.render() methods without the renderer argument is removed.

Is there any way i can fix this without having to go back to version - 2.0.8 ??

Exception Type: TypeError at /admin/travel/location/15493/change/
Exception Value: render() got an unexpected keyword argument 'renderer'

Answer 1

I had the same issue before and didn't find any fix for it , but I deleted the "renderer" line in the boundfield.py file which will be inline 92 just delete it.

Answer 2

Although just commenting the line 97 in the boundfield.py have worked, I solved this issue by navigating to the folder in which the render function was called. For instance, by adding renderer=None in widgets.py file in the django_markdown folder solved the problem.

boundfield.py

        return widget.render(
            name=self.html_initial_name if only_initial else self.html_name,
            value=self.value(),
            attrs=attrs,
            #renderer=self.form.renderer,
        )
