IndexError thrown on form posts

[scott2b]

I'm not quite sure how this part of the code works, so I don't know what I might be doing wrong:

asgi-csrf/asgi_csrf.py

Line 210 in f1a7e28

async def replay_receive():

I am using asgi-csrf with a Starlette app, and rendering out the token as a hidden field in forms. In general, csrf checks appear to be passing, however the middleware is throwing an IndexError due to a pop from empty list. The full stack trace is below.

For what it's worth: the form does get submitted and my view is able to process the form as it normally would. So, these exceptions are happening, but it's not clear to me what the real side effect is, or if it might be possible that a proper csrf check is not really happening.

Perhaps there is something obvious I am doing wrong?

I see now that my forms are being submitted as x-www-form-urlencoded rather than as multipart/form-data. I'm not sure why that is this case, I'm guessing this is the browser's call? I'm not sure.

In any case, if I modify the code at line 211, to do the same kind of check that is done in _parse_multipart_form_data on line 249, then it all seems to work:

        if messages:
            return messages.pop(0)
        else:
            return await receive()
