'HttpResponse' object has no attribute 'render'

See original GitHub issue

Hi there, Firstly, GREAT app and exactly what I had in mind with wagtail! Thank you.

Just found a small “bug” with the build management command when a content object returns an HttpResponse object that has already rendered

bakery/views/base.py

self.get(self.request).render().content

throws

AttributeError: 'HttpResponse' object has no attribute 'render'

The “fix” on my side was to

        resp = self.get(self.request)

        if hasattr(resp, 'render'):
            return resp.render().content
        elif hasattr(resp, 'content'):
            return resp.content
        else:
            raise Exception('Response has no content')

Which is a little ugly especially in the else case… but I was just wanting to “make it work” on my side.

Just ran into this issue again with HttpResponseRedirect response objects. Probably you use render_to_response or render shortcuts in your Wagtail page. Will provide a fix for this!
