Error when using SelectMultipleField styled as checkboxes

[markosski]

I'm using multi-checkbox form element following solution from http://wtforms.simplecodes.com/docs/1.0.1/specific_problems.html (bottom of the page)
I'm getting this error:
File ".../python3.4/site-packages/wtformsparsleyjs/core.py", line 292, in __init__ super(SelectMultipleField, self).__init__(widget=Select(multiple=True), *args, **kwargs) TypeError: __init__() got multiple values for keyword argument 'widget'

I don't quite understand why there is a need to overwrite default widgets from parent classes?

Hey @martez81

I'm not sure whether this will solve your issue, but I've been maintaining a fork over here: https://github.com/fuhrysteve/wtforms-parsleyjs

As it stands, the main fork has some issues with wtforms >= 2 and there are a handful of other bugfixes / improvements over there.

@fuhrysteve
Thanks for quick reply. I am actually using your fork where I'm experiencing this error. Original repo doesn't implement multi-select field and there was additional error with Optional validators. I posted this on this repo because you don't seem to have issues enabled on yours :)

guys, I have maintained this project very poorly. @fuhrysteve I can offer you either to mark this as unmaintained in the Readme and send people over to your fork or give you full write access so that you can merge in the changes from your fork.

What would you prefer?

[fuhrysteve]

Hey @johannes-gehrs - No worries, we all have projects we can't afford to give the attention they deserve.

I guess you could just point folks to my fork in the readme - this is a small enough library, no need to over-complicate it. Thanks!

[fuhrysteve]

@martez81 I've enabled issues! Thanks!

[markosski]

@fuhrysteve I will reply this issue on your repo, will try to put some time to investigate this. thanks.

@mArtez You are likely the first maybe second user of that code with the exception of myself, so expect it to be a little buggy, but please post issues hopefully we will get round to solving them.
