Filter a combined queryset in Django Rest Framework
I created a viewset that combines different models that inherit from the same parent model (Transactions). It was working well and I could reach the endpoint. Now I am trying to add filters using django-filters, but I am getting an error: model = queryset.model AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'model' The fields that I am using to filter and search belong to the parent model. Here is my viewset: class TransactionViewSet(viewsets.ReadOnlyModelViewSet): serializer_class = TransactionSerializer filter_backends = [DjangoFilterBackend, filters.SearchFilter] filterset_fields = { "company": ["exact"], } search_fields = ["id", "description"] def get_queryset(self): payment_collections = PaymentCollection.objects.all() up_front_sales = UpFrontSale.objects.all() combined_queryset = list( chain( payment_collections, up_front_sales, ) ) return combined_queryset I see that the error is that my method returns a list instead of a queryset, but I tried to use the union method instead and got raise NotSupportedError( django.db.utils.NotSupportedError: Calling QuerySet.filter() after union() is not supported. Is there a way to use the default filterset_fields and search_fields with a combined queryset? -
NameError: name '_mysql' is not defined Mac Django

Tracing the cause of drf_spectacular.plumbing.UnableToProceedError
I have inherited a Django app in which DRF Spectacular was never fully installed. I want to get it working so I can easily see how the API has been set up. There are quite a few models and serializers, and I suspect a custom field may be the cause of this error I am getting: drf_spectacular.plumbing.UnableToProceedError There is a stack trace pointing to drf_spectacular/plumbing.py but all that tells me is that a field type hint was not able to be generated, not which field or modal or whatever caused it. In the Spectacular settings, I have debugging set up: SPECTACULAR_SETTINGS = { 'DEBUG': True, ... How else can I tell what actually went wrong? I am trying to generate the schema inside a docker container with this command: docker compose run --rm site python manage.py spectacular --color --file schema.yml -
How to list updated records in Django forms?
I have 3 child tables that all relate to a parent table via foreign key relationships. I created a form to add records to this parent table that also has these foreign key relationships. The form queries these children and show the querySet object with N records in each object. Thus, I took this approach to populating the fields as multi-choice: # Form class CreateMatch(forms.ModelForm): p_choices = [(player.id, player.gamer_tag) for player in Players.objects.all()] e_choices = [(event.id, event.name) for event in Events.objects.all()] g_choices = [(game.id, game.name) for game in Games.objects.all()] player_one = forms.ChoiceField(choices=p_choices) player_two = forms.ChoiceField(choices=p_choices) game = forms.ChoiceField(choices=g_choices) event = forms.ChoiceField(choices=e_choices) class Meta: model = Matches fields = ['player_one', 'player_two', 'player_one_score', 'player_two_score', 'game', 'event', 'round', 'losers'] This will ensure fields like player_one populates all human readable names in the form field as a dropdown. # View from .forms import CreateMatch def add_match(request): context = { "title": "Add New Event" } if request.method == 'POST': form = CreateMatch(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): post = form.save(commit=False) post.save() return redirect('add match') # Replace 'forum_home' with your actual URL name else: form = CreateMatch() return render(request, 'add_match.html', {'form': form, 'context': context}) # Parent model class Matches(models.Model): player_one = models.ForeignKey(Players, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='%(class)s_player_one') player_two = models.ForeignKey(Players, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='%(class)s_player_two') … -
How to properly serve static files through nginx in my django project
I've tried all possible configurations, but I don't know why nginx doesn't provide the static files for my application, that is, I always have a page without style. This is my Dockerfile: enter image description here This is my entrypoint.sh enter image description here This is my static configuration on settings.py enter image description here This is my docker-compose.yml enter image description here I have a folder in the root of my project called nginx. Inside it I have the files: Dockerfile enter image description here default.conf enter image description here I would like to understand what I'm doing wrong, I've tried other configuration structures, but nginx never serves the static files. -
When trying to authenticate user, Django presents a dropdown form of logins to update
I'm trying to code a password reset feature for a site, where the user enters their old password and new password. If the old password matches, the user's password is updated to the new password. However, I am having an error where a dropdown form asks which user I would like to update.Image of dropdown form I have no clue where the error is from. Here's a picture: The dropdown list always has the same users, even though I've created a lot more. I've tried a bunch of different ways to code a password reset view/form. I was expecting the issue to be within user authentication, but it seems to be deeper than that. -
urlpattern with arbitrary number of optional filters
In order to reflect filters in the URL, I need urlpatterns to include an arbitrary number of optional parameters, e.g.: /myview/filter1:option1/filter1:option2/filter2:option1/filter3:option5 Each filter can (potentially, depending on the type of filter) have multiple selected options, and multiple filters can be applied at one time. See MobyGames as an example of exactly what I mean. I imagine I need regex to achieve this, but I don't really know where to start. I read through the relevant docs, but didn't find anything that directly addresses this kind of pattern. -
Unable to Redirect to Next Page After Successful Login in Django
Despite entering the correct credentials, I am consistently redirected back to the login page instead of being granted access to the Products page. This issue persists even though the credentials are valid, which suggests that there might be a problem with the login and authentication process.

Is it possible to render a column for each of a many-to-many relationship with django-tables2?
It's simple enough to get all the many-to-many relationships of a particular row - but they're rendered in the same column. Is it possible to have a column created for each one? For example, with a many-to-many relationship between Child and Year, and data for each child/year pair, I'd want a column for each Year in the table: Child 1998 1999 2000 ---------------------------- Eldest 155 162 170 Youngest 53 61 72 Middlest 80 91 103 (many to many in django-tables2 is the closest I've seen to a question about this, and I think the accepted answer is wrong; it doesn't render a column for each relationship at all.) -

Django Project on Azure, 502 error after deployment
I'm deploying a Django app on Azure Web App using Gunicorn and keep getting a 502 Bad Gateway error. Despite binding to the correct port, setting up environment variables for Key Vault, and enabling SCM_DO_BUILD_DURING_DEPLOYMENT for Oryx builds, the site never fully starts. I need to figure out why Gunicorn won't serve the app properly, even though the deployment logs seem fine. I set SCM_DO_BUILD_DURING_DEPLOYMENT=true, placed my requirements.txt in the project root so Oryx could install dependencies, and updated my startup command to gunicorn --bind=0.0.0.0:$PORT. I also configured environment variables for Key Vault, and tested collecting static files locally vs. on Azure. I expected the Azure Web App to run Gunicorn without errors. Instead, I keep getting a 502 Bad Gateway, and my logs show no direct failure message—just that the service never properly responds. -
When and where i use create_user from CreateUserManager()?
For several days now, I've been wondering why I should create my own user manager in Django, since in the end, when inheriting a built-in form, I don't refer to my created manager anyway. class CustomUserManager(BaseUserManager): def create_user(self, email, birth_date, password=None, **extra_fields): if not email: raise ValueError("You didn't entered a valid email address!") email = self.normalize_email(email) user = self.model(email=email, **extra_fields) user.set_password(password) user.save(using=self._db) return user def create_superuser(self, email, password, **extra_fields): extra_fields.setdefault('is_stuff', True) extra_fields.setdefault('is_superuser', True) return self.create_user(email, password, **extra_fields) I have something like this and in the end when it creates a user it doesn't go through that create_user anyway. So my two questions: Why create something for a custom user if I don't end up using it anyway because the form inherits from UserCreationForm. So, for example, form.save() does not use my manager. At what point should this create_user be executed? -
asynchronously database routing in djago and celery

Django "No installed app with label 'logs'" Error Even After Correcting Project Structure
I'm encountering a persistent "No installed app with label 'logs'" error in my Django project, even after seemingly correcting the project structure and INSTALLED_APPS.

Where the source code files are stored by azure in case of a web app on linux for a python website?
I've created a web app on azure for a python web app. I've successfully deployed it using zip and an azure cli command. It worked and my website works now. But what's really confusing to me is that I don't see my website files via filezilla. I mean it should contain all those scripts and the database file. I'm using sqlite db there. So if I just want to upload some image manually or download a database for a backup or local work with up to date PROD database, how do I do that? The only thing that I've found there is a output.tar.gz file, which contains output.tar file, which contains all of my website files and the database file as well. But would azure server hold all the files that a website is currently using in an archive? It would slow down an app, so I don't believe that those files are up to date with actual working PROD website instance. So how can I download the database file from PROD to my local? -

When deployed to the server (in production), the Gemini API server's streaming responses are not received
It works fine locally. In the production environment, non-streaming responses work well. When I send a Gemini API request directly from the AWS server using curl, the streaming works perfectly. However, when I run the backend server with Gunicorn, the Gemini API streaming does not work. I tried using both gevent and eventlet for the worker class, but neither worked. It doesn't seem to be an issue with the nginx configuration, since streaming responses to the client are sent correctly. The problem only occurs when the server calls the outer API. Actually, everything worked fine when I first set up the server. But ever since I set up the CI/CD pipeline, (I just tried to use github actions and install requirements remote) external API streaming doesn't work. Since it's a Django codebase, even deleting the virtual environment and reinstalling, or installing using the requirements.txt from before the CI/CD build (when it was working fine), doesn't resolve the issue. What should I do? What I got from gunicorn logs [2025-02-14 14:29:50 +0000] [5235] [CRITICAL] WORKER TIMEOUT (pid:5283) Feb 14 14:29:50 ip-172-31-13-205 gunicorn[5283]: response: Feb 14 14:29:50 ip-172-31-13-205 gunicorn[5283]: GenerateContentResponse( Feb 14 14:29:50 ip-172-31-13-205 gunicorn[5283]: done=False, Feb 14 14:29:50 ip-172-31-13-205 gunicorn[5283]: iterator=<_StreamingResponseIterator>, … -

exclude specific urls from nginx redirect
I'm trying to exclude two URLs from nginx redirect (http to https). Traffic from Nginx is sent to guincorn and the URLs are generated dynamically by the Django view. My current base nginx configuration for the site is below. All non http requests are sent to https using this. server { listen 80; listen [::]:80 default_server; server_name mydomain.org; return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri; } server { listen 443 ssl default_server; listen [::]:443 ssl default_server; ssl_certificate ....; ssl_certificate_key ....; root /app/ioc; server_name mydomain.org; location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; } location /static/ { alias /path/static/; } location / { proxy_pass http://unix:/run/gunicorn.sock; proxy_set_header Host $http_host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; proxy_redirect off; } } Now, I'm trying to exclude both this/endpoint1.txt and this/endpoint2.txt from the redirects. endpoint1.txt and endpoint1.txt are dynamically generated by the django view so they are not actual text files on the server. Trying to do something like this results in 404 error location /this/endpoint1.txt { root /path/app; add_header Content-Type text/plain; } Also, when I do something like this: location /this/endpoint1.txt { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:80; } I get 504 Gateway Time-out error.

Best way to implement date with optional day/month?
There are several ways to do this, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. Boolean fields for day/month: Advantages: cheap ordering, easy formatting, easy validation Disadvantages: have to provide a default month/day, ordering may not behave as expected depending on needs date = models.DateField() date_has_month = models.BooleanField() date_has_day = models.BooleanField() Separate IntegerFields Advantages: relatively cheap ordering, flexible ordering with not_null option etc Disadvantages: complicates date validation, must order on several fields, must compose date from several fields date_year = models.IntegerField() date_month = models.IntegerField() date_day = models.IntegerField() CharField Advantages: no need for extra fields, 1:1 with user input (depending on validation) Disadvantages: relatively expensive ordering, ordering is inflexible, validation may be complicated date = models.CharField() My question is: are there more (dis)advantages not listed? Are there other ways to achieve this that I haven't thought of?
