simple-captcha validation error is not shown

Hello,

When using a CaptchaField from simple-captcha module with crispy-forms, if I leave the field empty, or provide an invalid response, no error is displayed. If I disable crispy-forms, it works.

I looked into the generated HTML and found the entry:

<span id="error_1_id_captcha" class="invalid-feedback"><strong>Invalid response</strong</span>

The problem is, this CSS class has a “display: none” prop… So I overloaded my global CSS with the following:

/* Workaround a bug in crispy-forms not showing validation error from simple-captcha */
.invalid-feedback {
    display: block;
}

And the validation error is now displayed successfully.

Best regards, Adam.

I want to bump this up as well. Using django-captcha with crispy-forms, there is no error shown and therefore users can still press submit without knowing there is an error and their form won’t actually be submitted.

Were you using Google reCAPTCHA? Also, would it allow you to still submit? I tried looking through the HTML but I see no errors being raised. I added the CSS you added as well, and no luck…
