Generic Inline fails (unexpected keyword argument `prefix`)

[leitjohn]

I got a type exception saying, "init() got an unexpected keyword argument 'prefix'"

I found out that it was caused by a GenericTabularInline, for when i commented it out the error went away. I'm running the latest SVN so i guess it's to be expected.

Don't all forms allow the "prefix" keyword?

I'll try to get a patch for it soon.

​http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/django/contrib/contenttypes/generic.py#L287 correctly accepts a prefix argument so I'm not sure what your problem might be. I'll leave this open if you can provide some more open.

This was my mistake, thanks for pointing that out to me.

I am receiving the same error after upgrading to trunk...with inline forms.

Was there a solution you found, Leitjohn? What was the 'mistake' you fixed, please? perhaps it is the same in mine.

Thanks!

I am receiving the same error after upgrading to trunk on Windows and on Unix...with inline forms.

Was there a solution found/proposed to this issue?

Thanks!

Your checkout is somehow incorrect, if you consult the source code in the repo it clearly accepts a preifx argument.
