Login Form Analysis

Issue Identified

During authentication testing, the login form appears to be missing a submit button or the submission mechanism is not working properly.

Form Structure Analysis

Template Structure

• Modal: templates/account/partials/login_modal.html
• Form: templates/account/partials/login_form.html

Form Configuration

<form 
  class="space-y-6" 
  hx-post="{% url 'account_login' %}"
  hx-target="this"
  hx-swap="outerHTML"
  hx-indicator="#login-indicator"
>

Submit Button

<button type="submit" class="w-full btn-primary">
  <i class="mr-2 fas fa-sign-in-alt"></i>
  {% trans "Sign In" %}
</button>

Potential Issues Identified

1. HTMX Dependency

• Form uses HTMX for AJAX submission
• If HTMX is not loaded or configured properly, form won't submit
• Need to verify HTMX is included in base template

2. Turnstile CAPTCHA

• Form includes {% turnstile_widget %} on line 79
• CAPTCHA might be preventing form submission
• Could be invisible or blocking submission

3. CSS Styling Issues

• Submit button uses btn-primary class
• If CSS not loaded properly, button might not be visible
• Need to verify button styling

4. Form Context Issues

• Form might not be receiving proper Django form context
• Could be missing form instance or validation

Testing Results

• ✅ Login modal opens successfully
• ✅ Username and password fields accept input
• ✅ Form fields populated with test credentials (admin/admin123)
• ❌ Form submission not working (button click has no effect)

Next Steps

1. Verify HTMX is properly loaded
2. Check Turnstile configuration
3. Inspect form rendering in browser dev tools
4. Test form submission without HTMX (fallback)
