Why the User data are not updated? in Django?

I have a Model called UserAccount, I have tried several ways to update the data for an existing user, it responds that changes are successful without any error but still nothing is reflecting in Database

Here is the Model



class UserAccount(AbstractBaseUser,PermissionsMixin):
    first_name = models.CharField( max_length=100)
    last_name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    email = models.EmailField(_("email"),validators=[EmailValidator()],unique=True)
    date_added = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    phone = models.CharField(max_length=20, validators=[RegexValidator(r'^\d{12}$', 'Enter a valid phone number.')])
    profile_picture = models.ImageField(upload_to='media/users_photos/%Y/%m',null=True,blank=True)
    employee_id = models.IntegerField(validators=[MinValueValidator(1), MaxValueValidator(999)], null=True,blank=True)
    is_staff = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    is_active = models.BooleanField(default=True)
    last_login = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True , null=True)

    objects = CustomUserAccountManager()

    USERNAME_FIELD = "email"
    REQUIRED_FIELDS = ["first_name", "last_name","phone"]
    EMAIL_FIELD = "email"

    class Role(models.TextChoices):
        ADMIN = "Admin", "Admin"
        MANAGER = "Manager", "manager"
        NORMALUSER = "Normal", "normaluser"

    base_role = Role.NORMALUSER

    role = models.CharField(max_length=50, choices=Role.choices)

    def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
        if not self.pk:
            self.role = self.base_role
            return super().save(*args, **kwargs)

    def __str__(self):
        if self.first_name and self.last_name:
            fullname = f'{self.first_name} {self.last_name}'
        elif self.first_name:
            fullname = self.first_name
        elif self.last_name:
            fullname = self.last_name
        else:
            fullname = "Unnamed User"
        return fullname


    # Add related_name to avoid clashes
    groups = models.ManyToManyField(
        'auth.Group',
        related_name='user_accounts',
        blank=True,
        help_text='The groups this user belongs to. A user will get all permissions granted to each of their groups.',
        verbose_name='groups',
    )
    user_permissions = models.ManyToManyField(
        'auth.Permission',
        related_name='user_accounts',
        blank=True,
        help_text='Specific permissions for this user.',
        verbose_name='user permissions',
    )

    def get_username(self):
        return self.email



Here is theForm

class EditUserForm(forms.ModelForm):


    class Meta:
        model = UserAccount
        fields = ['first_name', 'last_name', 'email', 'phone', 'profile_picture', 'employee_id']

Here is the View

def edit_ni_user(request , user_id):

    request_user = get_object_or_404(UserAccount,id=user_id)
    edit_user_form = EditUserForm()


    if request.method == "POST":
        edit_user_form =EditUserForm(request.POST, request.FILES , instance=request_user)
        if edit_user_form.is_valid():
            print("edit_user_form is valid")

            newfirst_name = edit_user_form.cleaned_data['first_name']
            newlast_name = edit_user_form.cleaned_data['last_name']
            newphone = edit_user_form.cleaned_data['phone']
            newprofile_picture = edit_user_form.cleaned_data['profile_picture']
            newemployeeid = edit_user_form.cleaned_data['employee_id']

            request_user.first_name = newfirst_name
            request_user.last_name = newlast_name
            request_user.phone = newphone
            request_user.profile_picture = newprofile_picture
            request_user.employee_id= newemployeeid
            request_user.email = request_user.email
            request_user.save()
  
            print(get_object_or_404(UserAccount,id=user_id))

            print(UserAccount.objects.filter(id = request_user.pk).first())
            messages.success(request, f" {request_user}  Edited Successfully")

            return redirect('index')
        else:
            # Iterate over form errors and add appropriate messages
            for field, errors in edit_user_form.errors.items():
                for error in errors:
                     messages.error(request, f'{field}: {error}')
    elif request.method=="GET":

        edit_user_form = EditUserForm(instance = request_user)

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE". To some of the itchy-finger keyboard warriors, a.k.a The mods,because I believe in th...
