How do I hit a Django-allauth login endpoint for automated testing
Context: I am creating some boilerplate automation to essentially login to a website as a restricted user and then verify that when I hit another endpoint, I get an unauthorized response. I don't have much experience with setting up an API automated testing framework from scratch, but I am using Behave and Behave-Django for all other automation. All my test data is coming from a django .env file. My current step to hit the login api as a restricted user is as follows: @given('I log in as a restricted user') def login(context, user): context.url = 'https://myurl.com' context.user_logged_in.send(user) assert context.status_code == 403 I'm pretty green when it comes to django, so if I'm not even close let me know. Thanks! -

Why is my else clause not working in Django?
I'm trying to create a search error for my ecommerce website. When a user inputs a search that is not in the database, it should return the search error page. Though it seems my else clause isn't working. I tried putting the else clause in the search.html page, but it keeps giving me errors and it seems when I try to fix the errors, nothing really happens, it stays the same. I expect the search_error.html page to appear when the user inputs a product name that is not in the database. Though I keep getting for example, when I type "hello," the page appears with "Search results for hello." But it should result the search_error.html page. I also tried currently a else clause in my views.py, but it shows the same thing. I think my else clause isn't working and I don't know why. My views.py: def search(request): if 'searched' in request.GET: searched = request.GET['searched'] products = Product.objects.filter(title__icontains=searched) return render(request, 'epharmacyweb/search.html', {'searched': searched, 'products': products}) else: return render(request, 'epharmacyweb/search_error.html') def search_error(request): return render(request, 'epharmacyweb/search_error.html') My urls.py under URLPatterns: path('search/', views.search, name='search'), path('search_error/', views.search_error, name='search_error'), My search.html page: {% if searched %} <div class="pb-3 h3">Search Results for {{ searched }}</div> <div … -

Lesson() got an unexpected keyword argument 'invoice_number'
I keep failing to save form data in order to pass them into the table to list in admin page. Since I'm fairly new to Django, I don't know what is wrong with my save method in form.py I have tried super().save(commit=False) but I'm not quite sure how to use it.

username of the loggedin user is not showing in the profile page
I am doing a project using django where I have two apps. One is users app and another is blog app. Firstly, I used built-in django user model.

Django Crispy Form doesn't add or update database
Hello, I am writing a small project about a car shop and this is the problem I came up with. I'm trying to add a new car and everything seems to work, but when I fill out the form and click submit, it just redirects me to products page without errors and without adding a new car to the database.

Django: One-to-Many and Many-to-One Serializers and Queries
I have a relationship similar to this: One city has one-to-many buildings; one building has zero-to-many devices. The user must be able to request a city by its PK, receiving in response the city, the buildings in the city, and the devices in those buildings. I know that foreign keys are necessary in creating the models, like this: class City(models.Model): #Columns here class Building(models.Model): cityId = models.ForeignKey(City, on_delete=models.CASCADE) #Columns here class Device(models.Model): buildingId = models.ForeignKey(Building, on_delete=models.CASCADE) #Columns here What I'm having trouble with is how to write the serializers and the queries. As of now, my serializers only include fields corresponding to that table's columns: class CitySerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): class Meta: model = City fields = ['id', ...] class BuildingSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): class Meta: model = Building fields = ['id', 'cityId', ...] class DeviceSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): class Meta: model = Device fields = ['id', 'buildingId', ...] However, when I have to respond to a GET request for the city, I only know how to use a nested for loops to get the building and device data after finding the city by the inputted ID. I presume there's a better way, but I'm having trouble finding clear answers online. -
Django admin site user password change
Django admin site used to have a form to change the password for a user that wasn't the logged in user. You would look at the user's update page, and by the password field, there was a change password link. You would click it, and it would take you to a different page for changing the password. I used to take advantage of that page to allow changing of a user's password, without having to open the admin. In Django 4, it seems to now be missing. In fact, I can't figure out how one would change a user's password other than their own, without writing my own view. I have 2 questions: Is there a way in the admin site now to change a different user's password? If this view is gone, what is now the best way for a superuser to have a view that can change passwords for a user? -

How to show category names in the dropdown list of django form
I am working on a article management platform webapp using django. I have created a registration form using the django form where I want to show category names from the category table. This is the code to create category table where I have two column. One is cid which is ID and another one is category_name. Here the category name will be for example: Technology, Software engineering, Medicine etc. blog.models.py from django.db import models # Create your models here. class Category(models.Model): cid = models.AutoField(primary_key=True, blank=True) category_name = models.CharField(max_length=100) def __str__(self): return self.category_name The cid is a foreign key for users table because each user must select a category name from the specialization field to register an account in this app. As I am using built-in user model, so I have added the cid as a foreign key in the user table as given below. users/model.py from django.db import models from blog.models import Category from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser # Create your models here. class CustomUser(AbstractUser): cid = models.ForeignKey(Category, on_delete=models.CASCADE) in the forms.py file I have added the email and specialization field to display them in the registration form like below.

Django site social authentication ERROR | Facebook OAuth - URL blocked error
I am working on a Django web application in which I have to implement social authentication using Facebook (reference - Django 4 By Example). I have installed the required python packages social_django, django_extensions and I am operating the website on https as mentioned in the book. Edited the hosts file of my machine to serve domain name of my choice, in ALLOWED_HOSTS setting added the domain name. I have created the app using Facebook's developers account and have kept the settings as mentioned in the book and added domain name in the required field. In main app's urls.py I have added a path social_auth. I have added the redirect url in Valid OAuth Redirect URIs field.

Django - How do you create several model instances at the same time because they are connected
I want to create a user profile and the user profile has a location (address). I need to create the profile first and location second, and then match the profile and the location using a third model called ProfileLocation. I want to do this using one api call, because all the data comes from one form and the location depends on the profile. There is a location model that has OneToOne fields for Country, State and City. The countries, states and cities will have the database tables populated before the time. There is an extra model called ProfileLocation that links the profile to the location. So I have to create all of them at once and struggling with what the best way to do it is. Also what type of DRF view do I use for the endpoint? I need to understand the logic please and I cannot find an example on the net. Do I need to create a custom function based view and run the data through the existing serializers? In that case how can I bundle the incoming data for each specific serializer? This is all very new to me Locations model.py: from django.db import models from … -
