Get _meta of model through relationship
I have two models. I would like to pass one of the models to a function, and then have the function traverse the ManyToManyField to display the related model's fields. class Email(models.Model): subject = models.CharField(max_length=50) body = models.TextField() time_sent = models.DateTimeField(null=True, blank=True) recipients = models.ManyToManyField(Email, related_name='emails') class Contact(models.Model): email_address = models.EmailField() contact_name = models.CharField(max_length=50, null=True, blank=True) The end result would be something like: >>> get_fields_of_related_model(Email) {'recipients': {'email_address': 'EmailField', 'contact_name': 'CharField'}} >>> get_fields_of_related_model(Contact) {'emails': {'subject': 'CharField', 'body': 'TextField', 'time_sent': 'DateTimeField', 'recipients': 'ManyToManyField'}} -

Django testing - client.cookies empty if there was another test case before
I'm testing my Django application with Selenium in Docker. I encounter a peculiar thing related to cookies availability (I use cookies to authenticate in my tests). Here is the code that works: from django.contrib.staticfiles.testing import StaticLiveServerTestCase from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities from users.models import CustomUser class SomeTest(StaticLiveServerTestCase): @classmethod def setUpClass(cls): cls.host = "web" # Docker service name super().setUpClass() CustomUser.objects.create_user(username="user", password="password") def setUp(self): self.browser = webdriver.Remote("http://selenium:4444/wd/hub", DesiredCapabilities.FIREFOX) self.browser.get(self.live_server_url) def tearDown(self): self.browser.quit() def test2(self): self.client.login(username="user", password="password") cookie = self.client.cookies["sessionid"] ... However, when I insert there another test case before test2, let it be something as simple as def test1(self): pass then the code crashes with the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/mysite/functional_tests/test.py", line 28, in test2 cookie = self.client.cookies["sessionid"] KeyError: 'sessionid' So the only difference between the working and not-working code is a dummy test function, but what does it change? As far as I know the setUp and tearDown methods make sure that the "environment" is the same for every test case, no matter what happens in other test methods and here it clearly depends on the (non-)existence of other test cases before running my test... Is there something I misunderstand? Or is it some … -
Django Admin Inline hit database multiple times
DjangoVersion:2.1.7 PythonVersion:3.8.2 I have a StoreLocation model which has ForeignKeys to Store, City and Site (this is the default DjangoSitesFramework model). I have created TabularInline for StoreLocation and added it to the Store admin. everything works fine and there isn't any problem with these basic parts. now I'm trying to optimize my admin database queries, therefore I realized that StoreLocationInline will hit database 3 times for each StoreLocation inline data. I'm using raw_id_fields, managed to override get_queryset and select_related or prefetch_related on StoreLocationInline, StoreAdmin and even in StoreLocationManager, i have tried BaseInlineFormsSet to create custom formset for StoreLocationInline. None of them worked.

AngularJS Retrieve nested JSON
I have a loop which loops through my dictionary: for p in place.values(): print(p) jString = json.dumps(p.__dict__) The output looked like this: {"Place": "Liberty City", "time": [{"07:00": 116}, {"08:00": 120}, ...]} I did a print(place.items()). This is the output: `dict_items([('Liberty City', <myapp.models.Place object at 0x0930C150>), ('San Andreas', <myapp.models.Place object at 0x0930C390>`)...] Why am I able to get the Json string but unable to get the value of the dictionary?

Why depth values in serializer Meta class not work?
I have a serializer serializer.py class VendorManagementUpdateSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): ... parent = serializers.PrimaryKeyRelatedField(queryset=Vendors.objects.all(), required=False, allow_null=True) ... class Meta: model = Vendors fields = (..., ...., 'parent', ) depth = 1 class VendorToFrontSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): class Meta: model = Vendors fields = ('pk', 'vendor_name') But response data after PUT request return only id fields. And I need to get all the fields out of the serializer VendorToFrontSerializer ('pk', 'vendor_name') Isn't that what depth is used for? I know I can use this type of serializer parent = VendorToFrontSerializer() But the problem is that I use partial_update and when I send this field to the PUT request { "parent":123 } what I get is { "parent": { "non_field_errors": [ "Invalid data. Expected a dictionary, but got int." ] } } How do I do it right? -
Django Graphene form validation with integer field
Here's my simple scenario. I have a model that has two mandatory fields name and age: class Person(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=256) age = models.PositiveIntegerField() I'm using Django model form with Graphene class PersonForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = Person fields = ('name', 'age') class PersonType(DjangoObjectType): class Meta: model = Person class PersonMutation(DjangoModelFormMutation): class Meta: form_class = PersonForm class Mutation(graphene.ObjectType): person_mutation = PersonMutation.Field() Lets say a person fills age field but not name field. I can then send a mutation query mutation { personMutation(input: {age: 25, name: ""}) { errors { field messages } } } I get the following response, which is exactly what I want. This response is easy to go through and I get name field validation message. { "data": { "personMutation": { "errors": [ { "field": "name", "messages": [ "This field is required." ] } ] } } } But what if the user fills name but not age? What kind of mutation query should I make? If I make mutation { personMutation(input: {name: "my name"}) { errors { field messages } } } I get the response below. That is a horrible message, I can't show that to user. Also response json format is different than before. … -

Django: The page isn't redirecting properly error
I'm getting `the page isn't redirecting properly' coming up in my browser. I'm trying to move an app to be in a sub-folder of another app (because logically it is a special case of that app). This code is causing the loop, but I do not understand why. if administration_instance.study.instrument.form in ['CAT'] : return redirect('cat_forms:administer_cat_form', hash_id=hash_id) My main urls.py have this line: url(r'^form/', include('cdi_forms.urls')), My cdi_forms.urls has this line: url(r'fill/(?P<hash_id>[0-9a-f]{64})/$', views.administer_cdi_form, name='administer_cdi_form'), #I've included this line because it is the url being called in the loop path('cat/', include(('cdi_forms.cat_forms.urls', 'cat_forms'), namespace="cat_forms")), And my cdi_forms.cat_forms.urls has path('fill/<hash_id>/', views.AdministerAdministraionView.as_view(), name='administer_cat_form'), This generates a url /form/cat/fill/614764fa0f135073bc6166ab560882da3a4ed674fcd7f05030583daa1e637230/ which is correct but it is calling the initial function which is at url /form/fill/614764fa0f135073bc6166ab560882da3a4ed674fcd7f05030583daa1e637230/. The difference is the inclusion of cat in the former. Why is it looping? -

Update field in unrelated table by spanning relationships using Django ORM
I am using Django 3.0.4. I have 6 tables (Vehicle, Tracker, Driver, Contract, Account and Invoice). There are Many Invoices for each Account(1-M). A single Account is opened for every single Contract(1-1). Each Contract is comprised of a Driver and a Vehicle and Driver-Vehicle combination can have only 1 Contract. Each Vehicle is fitted with a single Tracker(1-1). I intend to check the status of the Invoice(I have done this already) and navigating from this particular record of Invoice I need to find the particular Vehicle inorder to update the status of the Tracker.

How to display separate titles on each page in Django
I have a Django website where I have separated the html files into a base.html file as so: {% include 'head.html' %} <body> {% include 'nav.html' %} {% block content %} {% endblock content %} {% include 'footer.html' %} {% include 'scripts.html' %} </body> </html> Due to including head.html, the title on each page is the same, since head.html has only 1 title.
