[OH-Dev] Trying to Use Form Validation in Class Based Generic Views

[Jacquie Flemming]

Dear OH Devs:

And --> Asheesh thought Nathan would be particularly helpful here.

I'm having problems rendering "svn_checkout_form.secret_word.errors".
I updated missions.svn to use the form validation (is_valid()) called from
'def checkout_submit(request):' and to to my (and Asheesh's) surprise, I am
not
able to display the errors on the website.

This is noticeable from /missions/svn/checkout, when trying to make the
form validation fail but entering in the wrong secret word in the text
field and hitting submit.
This is also noticeable from running the test :
     python manage.py test
missions.SvnViewTests.test_do_checkout_mission_incorrectly

with the output:
======================================================================
FAIL: test_do_checkout_mission_incorrectly
(mysite.missions.svn.tests.SvnViewTests)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/mariposa_218/oh-mainline/mysite/missions/svn/tests.py", line
108, in test_do_checkout_mission_incorrectly
    self.assertTrue('incorrect' in text)
AssertionError: False is not true

I have put this up on github -

-thank you.
