When running Django tests using Travis CI, my tests are running and completing locally, but are not running (or being found) remotely
As per the question, I have two tests which I am running successfully on my local machine. Running "python manage.py test" in the command line produces the following output: Creating test database for alias 'default'...

Django models many to many relation adds automatically
I have a model class like this. When I create a student, the django automatically adds all courses to student. class Course(models.Model): course_name = models.CharField(max_length=25) is_open = models.BooleanField(default=True) def __str__(self): return self.course_name class Student(models.Model): user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=True) EXP = ( ('1', 'Unexperienced LA'), ('2', 'Experienced LA'), ('3', 'Unexperienced TA'), ('4', 'Experienced TA'), ('5', 'DEFAULT'), ) courses = models.ManyToManyField(Course,null=True) exp = models.CharField(max_length=1, choices=EXP) -
Elasticsearch_dsl in django - unable to use password
I want my Django application to use a password for connecting to the elasticsearch container. Therefor I set a connection string in my settings.py which was working fine until I setup password authentication for elasticsearch. Currently I get the following error from Django: elasticsearch.exceptions.AuthenticationException: AuthenticationException(401, '') Using curl like this is working fine inside the container: curl -u "${ELASTICSEARCH_USERNAME}:${ELASTICSEARCH_PASSWORD}" "${ELASTICSEARCH_HOST}:${ELASTICSEARCH_PORT" But if I set the same env. vars. for the ELASTICSEARCH_DSL config at my settings.py, I simply fail and cannot establish a connection to elasticsearch due to the auth. failure mentioned above: ELASTICSEARCH_DSL = { 'default': { 'hosts': env.str('ELASTICSEARCH_USERNAME') + str(':') + env.str('ELASTICSEARCH_PASSWORD') + str('@') + env.str('ELASTICSEARCH_HOST') + str(':') + env.str('ELASTICSEARCH_PORT') }, } Is the syntax here maybe wrong for : or @ at the connection string? I already searched the docs and web on this but was not able to find a solution till now. -

How would you get RDKIT to load into an Apache Wampserver for Windows when conventional methods are not working?
RDKIT is the only package not loading into our production server. We successfully set up a Wampserver too run Apache and host our Django project . . .but have to comment out all the code associated with rdkit for it to work. This inhibits many required features. There were no issues using rdkit in Django's test server. Primary wsgi error: from .rdBase import rdkitVersion as __version__\r, referer: http://localhost/APP/ ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.\r, referer: http://localhost/APP/ Relevant packages and version details: Windows 10 Django 2.2 Python 3.7 conda 4.8.2 rdkit 2019.09.3 conda-forge Wampserver 3.2 Apache 2.4.41 mod-wsgi 4.7.1 The methods in this blog describe how we setup the production server. With one minor change, we did not alter the httpd_vhosts.conf file and only setup the standard localhost. The error is reproducible by trying to import rdkit(or one of its methods) into any file needed to host a web application in the described environment. We found this 2016 thread on the rdkit sourceforge and it sounds like someone else was having a similar problem on a Linux system. This is our first time setting up a server and we have not been successful at translating the … -

Why won't the runserver command in the terminal run? I am (a complete beginner) working on building a web app (learning log) with Django
So I've already created and activated a virtual environment, created a project, and an app (but the app shouldn't really matter at this point). I'm trying to view my project and ran the server command but it won't run. To clarify, I had already made more progress with the web app: created a model and migrated it so i could use it in the app, viewed the project as an admin to see the model working but when i created the second model, i had trouble migrating it. so i took a few steps back to the point where I could just view the empty project and that also didn't work so i'm confused. I could just delete and start over but I'd like to know what's wrong at this point. Below is what the terminal shows when I tried to run 'runserver' command so I could view the project on my local server. C:\Users\acer>cd Desktop/programming/learning_log C:\Users\acer\Desktop\programming\learning_log>ll_env\Scripts\activate (ll_env) C:\Users\acer\Desktop\programming\learning_log>python manage.py runserver Traceback (most recent call last): File "manage.py", line 10, in main from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'django' The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception: Traceback (most recent call last): File "manage.py", line … -
What is Django equivilant to Rails initializers folder?
I have a script for a discord bot that I need to use in a Django App so I can reference the DB and Models from it. The goal is to dynamically output messages to discord based on records. In Rails with the discord gem: https://github.com/discordrb/discordrb I am able to add my script to the initializers folder. This way it starts up and it's always listening. When something like a message or command comes through, I can dynamically update the output message based on the information from the command or message from Discord. Here is my app\config\initializers\discord_bot.rb file: require 'discordrb' bot = Discordrb::Bot.new token: '<>' bot.message(with_text: 'Ping!') do |event| task = Task.find(1) event.respond "Pong! #{task.title}" end bot.run I can access the models from here. This is a quick example but if I wanted, I can check against the discord information I receive to dynamically respond with the bot information from the database records. How am I able to do something similar to this in Django? -

Passing non form data from Django Template to view
I am working for the contacts app in Django Framework. It sends Otp using Twilio API. Now to send an OTP the view send_message will be called. This view will generate OTP through a random process. Now it will render an HTML template to show that this OTP is going to be sent. If the user clicks to send a new view send_otp will be called that will send the OTP to the recipient. Now My question is how would I get the same value of OTP in the second view that is passed from the first view to the template. Since in the second template I need to send the OTP. Views.py #first view def send_message(request, id): with open('contacts/contact_data.json', 'r') as f: contact_list = json.load(f) for contact in contact_list: if (contact['id'] == id): otp = generate_random_otp() context = { 'otp':otp 'message':text_message, 'id':id } return render(request, 'send_message.html', context) return render(request, 'send_meassage.html', {}) #second view def send_otp(request, id): #I need to pass OTP to this function send date = send(id, otp) return render(request, 'about.html') def send(id,otp): client = Client(settings.TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID, settings.TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN) with open('contacts/contact_data.json', 'r') as f: contact_list = json.load(f) for contact in contact_list: if (contact['id'] == id): message = client.messages \ .create( … -

DJango user-profile - Each time that I modify a user's profile a new profile is created
This is likely a basic question, but I'm new to django . . . I'm building a quiz app that allows users to answer questions in order. For example, users can only answer question 2 after they have successfully answered question one. I'm using django.contrib.auth for user authentication, and have added a Profile model for extended User info, including keeping track of all of the questions each user has answered. Here are my models: class Question(models.Model): question_text = models.CharField(max_length=400) answer1 = models.CharField(max_length=200) times_solved = models.IntegerField(default=0) number = models.IntegerField(default=1, unique=True) def __str__(self): return self.question_text class Profile(models.Model): user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE) real_name = models.CharField(max_length=100) questions_answered = models.ManyToManyField(Question, blank=True, null=True) last_wrong_answer_made_on = models.DateTimeField('last wrong answer date', null=True, blank=True) def __str__(self): return self.user.username @receiver(post_save, sender=User) def create_user_profile(sender, instance, created, **kwargs): if created: Profile.objects.create(user=instance) @receiver(post_save, sender=User) def save_user_profile(sender, instance, **kwargs): instance.profile.save() I also have an index view that lists all of the users along with the number of the last question that they have answered: class IndexView(generic.ListView): template_name = 'piratehunt/index.html' context_object_name = 'user_list' def get_queryset(self): return Profile.objects.all().order_by('-questions_answered__number') And my index.html: {% if user_list %} <ul> {% for user in user_list %} <li><a href="{% url 'piratehunt:user_detail' user.id %}">{{ team.user.username }} - {{ user.questions_answered.last.number }}</a></li> {% endfor … -

UserVote matching query does not exist
So, I'm working on matching two users if they vote yes to each other, and then storing them in a database based on if they match, and then displaying them. If I manually add the users through admin, that works fine. But I am having trouble getting the users to match.

I am having a few issues with Django pagination. I keep getting object of type 'Custom Filter' has no len()` error. I don't know why I keep getting this error.

How should the view and template look like?
