[FIXED] "redirect" function of django is not working and after submitting the form, user remains on same page

Issue

In the function "createProject" of views.py, I want that after submitting the form user should redirect to the "projects" page.

But I don't know what is my mistake here. After submitting the form it does not redirect the user to "projects" page but remains on the same page.

"views.py" file:

from django.shortcuts import render, redirect
from django.http import HttpResponse
from .forms import ProjectForm
from .models import Project


def projects(request):
    projects = Project.objects.all()
    context = {'projects':projects}
    return render(request, 'projects/projects.html', context)

def project(request, pk):
    return render(request, 'projects/single-project.html')

def createProject(request):
    form = ProjectForm()

    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = ProjectForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
            redirect('projects')

    context = {'form':form}
    return render(request, 'projects/project_form.html', context)

Here is "urls.py" file:

from django.urls import path
from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    path('', views.projects, name = 'projects'),
    path('project/<str:pk>/', views.project, name = 'project'),
    path('create-project/', views.createProject, name = 'create-project'),
]

Here is "project-form.html" [I am using Django "ModelForm"]:

from django.db.models.base import Model
from django.forms import ModelForm
from .models import Project


class ProjectForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Project
        fields = ['title', 'description', 'demo_link', 'source_link', 'tags']

Can anyone help me in finding the mistake here ? Why after submitting the form, it is not redirecting it to the "projects" page and remain on same page?

Solution

This issue is because the redirect response was never returned, so:

        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
            return redirect('projects')
            # ^^^ Add this
