'__proxy__' object has no attribute 'get'

Question

Im getting this error when my SignUp View returns the reverse_lazy function:

AttributeError at /signup/
'__proxy__' object has no attribute 'get'

My view:

class SignUpView(View):
    def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        return render(request, 'accounts/signup.html', context = {'form':UserCreateForm})

    def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        print(f'request: {request.POST}')

        form = UserCreateForm(request.POST)

        if form.is_valid():
            user = form.save(commit = False)
            user.username = request.POST.get('email')
            user.save()

            return reverse_lazy('homePage')

The form:

class UserCreateForm(UserCreationForm):
    class Meta():
        fields = ('first_name', 'last_name', 'email', 'departments', 'password1', 'password2')
        model = get_user_model()

User model:

class User(AbstractUser):
    departments = models.ManyToManyField(Department)

    def __str__(self):
        return f'{self.first_name} {self.last_name}'

What is causing the error?

Edit - (Error traceback)

I'm just typing some text to break the " It looks like your post is mostly code; please add some more details." rule

Probably this is because you are not returning an HTTP response from your view.

from django.http.response import HttpResponseRedirect, HttpResponse


class SignUpView(View):
    def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        return render(request, 'accounts/signup.html', context={'form': UserCreateForm})

    def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        print(f'request: {request.POST}')

        form = UserCreateForm(request.POST)

        if form.is_valid():
            user = form.save(commit=False)
            user.username = request.POST.get('email')
            user.save()

            return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse_lazy('homePage'))
        return HttpResponse('Form not valid')
