Because the form is blocked by client-side validation: it never gets to the server. If you watch the development console closely, you will see that when you press save, there is no incoming request.

 

Add the following clean method to DemoForm, fill in "bla" for demo_code in the form and you will see form_invalid being called.

 

def clean(self):
if self.data['demo_code'] != 'valid':
raise ValidationError('{}: Invalid demo code'.format(
self.data['demo_code']
))
