How to persist multi-step form data between views in Django without committing to DB?
One-line project/context. Short description of the problem and constraints. Minimal code: models, the two views, form classes, snippets of urls.py. Exact observed behavior or error. Alternatives tried (session, temp model) and why they’re insufficient. Ask: “Given X and Y, which approach best ensures Z, and how to implement it? -
iOS/web Auth Client ID Handling for Google Sign In
To preface, I'm not asking for a direct fix here, I'm just curious if what I'm doing is the appropriate auth flow for setting dynamic client ID based on device platform. I am 2 applications that use the same Django Allauth backend. One of them is for web, and the other is in Flutter (iOS). Both applications would call an endpoint that routes to GoogleDirectLogin(APIView) note that the implementation I currently have a method get_client_id that dynamically use the appropriate client ID based on device type (X-Client-Type) class GoogleDirectLogin(APIView): permission_classes = [AllowAny] def post(self, request): # Get token from request token = request.data.get('id_token') or request.data.get('access_token') if not token: return Response( {'error': 'Missing token in request'}, status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST ) # importing middleware is crucial for checking multiple client ID based on JSON Header value from auth_backend.middleware import get_client_id # Import from middleware client_id = get_client_id(request) print(f"using client ID: {client_id}") try: # Verify Google token identity_data = id_token.verify_oauth2_token( token, google_requests.Request(), client_id, clock_skew_in_seconds=10 ) # Validate issuer if identity_data.get('iss') not in ['accounts.google.com', 'https://accounts.google.com']: return Response( {'error': 'Invalid token issuer'}, status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST ) # # Exchange token with your internal API response = requests.post( settings.INTERNAL_API_CALL_GOOGLE, json={'access_token': token} ) response.raise_for_status() auth_data = response.json() return Response({ 'access': auth_data['access'], … -
Flaky Circle CI tests (django): ImportError: cannot import name "task" from "app.tasks" (unknown location)
Sometimes, I have many flaky test failures due to one error: ImportError: cannot import name 'task_import_events_to_db' from 'app.tasks' (unknown location) It seems the tests fail because of this import error. Meanwhile, other branches pass without issues, and tests also pass normally after merging. App is in INSTALLED APPS, locally everything works. But not on circle ci Stack: Django, PostgreSQL, Redis -
KeyError 'email' for django-authtools UserCreationForm
I am experiencing an error for which I can’t find an origin. I believe the error stems from GitHub - fusionbox/django-authtools: A custom User model for everybody!, and disclaimer, I have asked this same question on the project’s GitHub repository over a year ago, but nobody has answered, hopefully someone may have some insights here. Every now and then Django complains that email is not in self.fields[User.USERNAME_FIELD], when I try to open the admin 'Add user' form, see below I can see that email isn’t in self.fields but why it isn’t is not clear to me. What absolutely confuses me is that the error is sporadic: If I experience the error in my main browser window, I don’t in a new Incognito window Restarting the app makes the error go away, for some time, but then it reappears, and the only way to solve it is to restart the app. My UserCreationForm, a child of authtools’s UserCreationForm, looks like this class UserCreationForm(UserCreationForm): """ A UserCreationForm with optional password inputs. """ def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): super().__init__(*args, **kwargs) self.fields["password1"].required = False self.fields["password2"].required = False # If one field gets autocompleted but not the other, our 'neither # password or both password' validation … -

Django REST project doesn’t detect apps inside the “apps” directory when running makemigrations
I have a Django REST project where I created a directory called apps to store all my apps. Each app is added to the INSTALLED_APPS list in my settings file like this: INSTALLED_APPS = [ 'django.contrib.admin', 'django.contrib.auth', 'django.contrib.contenttypes', 'django.contrib.sessions', 'django.contrib.messages', 'django.contrib.staticfiles', # APPS 'apps.accounts.apps.AccountsConfig', 'apps.ads.apps.AdsConfig', ] But when I run python manage.py makemigrations, Django doesn’t detect any changes — it seems like it doesn’t recognize my apps at all. Can anyone help me figure out what might be wrong? Thanks a lot -

Is it reasonable to use Cloud storage for async webhook processing on Cloud Run
I'm processing webhooks on Cloud Run (Django) that need async handling because processing takes 30+ seconds but the webhook provider times out at 30s. Since Cloud Run is stateless and spins up per-request (no persistent background workers like Celery), I'm using this pattern: # 1. Webhook endpoint def receive_webhook(request): blob_name = f"webhooks/{uuid.uuid4()}.json" bucket.blob(blob_name).upload_from_string(json.dumps(request.data)) webhook = WebhookPayload.objects.create(gcs_path=blob_name) create_cloud_task(payload_id=webhook.id) return Response(status=200) # Fast response And then our cloud task calls the following endpoint with the unique path to the cloud storage url passed from the original webhook endpoint: def process_webhook(request): webhook = WebhookPayload.objects.get(id=request.data['payload_id']) payload = json.loads(bucket.blob(webhook.gcs_path).download_as_text()) process_data(payload) # 30+ seconds bucket.blob(webhook.gcs_path).delete() My main query points: Is GCS + Cloud Tasks the right pattern for Cloud Run's model, or is storing JSON directly temporarily in a django model a better approach since Cloud Tasks handles the queueing? Should I be using Pub/Sub instead? My understanding is that pubsub would be more appropriate for broadcasting to numerous subscribers, currently I only have the one django monolith. Thanks for any advice that comes my way. -
Django ORM: Add integer days to a DateField to annotate next_service and filter it (PostgreSQL)
I am trying to annotate a queryset with next_service = last_service + verification_periodicity_in_days and then filter by that date. I am on Django 5.2.6 with PostgreSQL. last_service is a DateField. verification_periodicity lives on a related SubCategory and is the number of days (integer). Models (minimal): # main/models.py class Category(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=100) class SubCategory(models.Model): category = models.ForeignKey(Category, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='subcategories') name = models.CharField(max_length=100) verification_periodicity = models.IntegerField() # days class Asset(models.Model): sub_category = models.ForeignKey(SubCategory, on_delete=models.PROTECT) last_service = models.DateField(null=True, blank=True) Goal: Compute next_service = last_service + verification_periodicity days in the database, expose it in the API, and support filtering like ?next_date__gte=2025-12-06. What I tried: Simple cast and multiply: from django.db.models import ExpressionWrapper, F, DateField, IntegerField from django.db.models.functions import Cast qs = qs.annotate( next_service = ExpressionWrapper( F('last_service') + Cast(F('sub_category__verification_periodicity'), IntegerField()) * 1, output_field=DateField() ) ) This does not shift by days and later caused type issues. Filtering by the annotated date also did not work as expected. Using a Python timedelta: from datetime import timedelta qs = qs.annotate( next_service = F('last_service') + timedelta(days=1) * F('sub_category__verification_periodicity') ) This produced a duration in seconds in the serialized output. Example: "next_service": "86400.0" for one day, rather than a proper date. I need a date. Errors seen along … -
Stuck with django asgi server (dpahne) and aws eb (with docker)
I’m trying to deploy a Django application that uses Channels + ASGI + Daphne on AWS Elastic Beanstalk with the Docker platform. My container builds successfully, migrations run, and Daphne starts properly on 0.0.0.0:8000. Logs show the ASGI server is running without errors. The issue is that Elastic Beanstalk is not routing traffic to the Daphne server inside the Docker container. Here’s what’s happening: docker logs shows Daphne listening on 0.0.0.0:8000 The container starts cleanly (no errors) curl <container-ip>:8000/ works curl http://localhost/ on the host does not reach Daphne /health/ returns nothing because Django had no route (fixed now) Elastic Beanstalk environment loads but the site doesn’t respond externally It seems like NGINX inside EB is not proxying requests to the container I think I need a correct NGINX proxy config or a proper EB .config file that routes traffic to the container’s internal IP/port. Can someone provide a working example of: ✅ Dockerfile ✅ entrypoint.sh ✅ EB .ebextensions config for ASGI/Daphne ✅ NGINX proxy config for forwarding WebSocket + HTTP traffic ✅ Any extra EB settings needed for Channels Basically, I need the correct setup so EB can forward all traffic to Daphne inside a Docker container.

403 Forbidden: "CSRF Failed: CSRF token missing." on DRF api-token-auth/ after applying csrf_exempt
I'm encountering a persistent 403 Forbidden error with the detail: CSRF Failed: CSRF token missing. This happens when trying to obtain an authentication token using Django REST Framework's built-in api-token-auth/ endpoint. Context I am sending a POST request from Postman (using raw and application/json for the body). The CSRF protection is interfering because Postman, as an external client, doesn't handle session cookies or CSRF tokens. I attempted to fix this by explicitly applying the @csrf_exempt decorator to the view in my urls.py, but the error remains. Configuration and Code Here are the relevant snippets from my project setup: 1. settings.py (Middleware and DRF Authentication) My middleware includes CSRF protection, and I have SessionAuthentication enabled, which seems to be causing the conflict. MIDDLEWARE = [ "django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware", "django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware", "django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware", "django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware", "django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware", "django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware", "django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware", ] REST_FRAMEWORK = { 'DEFAULT_PAGINATION_CLASS': 'rest_framework.pagination.PageNumberPagination', 'PAGE_SIZE': 10, 'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': ( 'rest_framework.authentication.TokenAuthentication', 'rest_framework.authentication.SessionAuthentication', ), 'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': ( 'rest_framework.permissions.IsAuthenticated', ), } 2. urls.py (Where csrf_exempt is applied) This is how I'm currently trying to exempt the view. I have imported csrf_exempt from django.views.decorators.csrf. from django.contrib import admin from django.urls import path,include from rest_framework.authtoken import views from django.views.decorators.csrf import csrf_exempt from api import views as api_views urlpatterns = [ path("home/",include("expenses.urls")), path("admin/", admin.site.urls), path("api/",include("api.urls")), … -

Django: Annotate queryset based on the existence of many-to-many relationships
I am using Django 5.2 with Postgres 17 and try to modify the queryset of a ListView for row-based access control. Items are to be included in the queryset either if the user is part of a project that is directly related with the item, or if the project that is related with the item is set to be "visible". The user is presented with different information and interaction possibilities in the front end depending which of the two options ("accessible" vs "visible") was true. The following solution in theory yields the right result: def get_queryset(self): queryset = self.model.objects.all() if self.request.user.is_superuser: return queryset.annotate(accessible=Value(True)) # Cache all projects that the user is part of. A project is a Django-group # (one-to-one relationship) with some additional attributes. user_projects = Project.objects.filter(group__in=self.request.user.groups.all()) # Get all items that the user can access and mark them accordingly. accessible_items = ( queryset .filter(groups__project__in=user_projects) .annotate(accessible=Value(True)) ) # Get all items that the user can see (but not access), and mark them accordingly. visible_items = ( queryset .filter(groups__project__in=Project.objects.filter(visible=True)) .exclude(groups__project__in=user_projects) .annotate(accessible=Value(False)) ) return accessible_items.union(visible_items) The approach is simple enough and I'm not too concerned about efficiency, but there is a significant drawback. I'm using a union of two querysets, and … -

appAccountToken not sent to backend during Apple coupon (reward) redemption using StoreKit 2
I'm integrating Apple In-App Purchases with StoreKit 2 in an iOS app. The backend (Django) handles subscription verification and links each transaction to a user using appAccountToken. Everything works fine for normal subscription purchases — the app sets the appAccountToken correctly, and it reaches the backend through the transaction data. However, during coupon / reward redemption (using Apple’s Reward Redemption Sheet), the appAccountToken is not included in the transaction payload that Apple sends to the backend. As a result, my backend can’t associate the redeemed subscription with the correct user account. How can we ensure that the appAccountToken is included (or reattached) during reward / coupon redemption using StoreKit 2? Is there any recommended way to set or restore the appAccountToken during the reward redemption flow? -

Cloud Storage + Cloud Tasks for async webhook processing on Cloud Run - best practice
I've been looking around for an answer to this, but struggling to find something definitive. My apologies if I've overlooked something obvious. I'm processing webhooks on Cloud Run (Django) that need async handling because processing takes 30+ seconds but the webhook provider times out at 30s. Since Cloud Run is stateless and spins up per-request (no persistent background workers like Celery), I'm using this pattern: # 1. Webhook endpoint def receive_webhook(request): blob_name = f"webhooks/{uuid.uuid4()}.json" bucket.blob(blob_name).upload_from_string(json.dumps(request.data)) webhook = WebhookPayload.objects.create(gcs_path=blob_name) create_cloud_task(payload_id=webhook.id) return Response(status=200) # Fast response And then our cloud task calls the following endpoint with the unique path to the cloud storage url passed from the original webhook endpoint: def process_webhook(request): webhook = WebhookPayload.objects.get(id=request.data['payload_id']) payload = json.loads(bucket.blob(webhook.gcs_path).download_as_text()) process_data(payload) # 30+ seconds bucket.blob(webhook.gcs_path).delete() Is GCS + Cloud Tasks the right pattern for Cloud Run's stateless model, or is storing JSON directly temporarily in a django model fine since Cloud Tasks handles the queueing? Does temporary storage in GCS rather than in Postgres provide meaningful benefits? Should I be using Pub/Sub instead? Seems more for event broadcasting; I just need to invoke one endpoint. Thanks for any advice that comes my way. -

Yet he is able to call GET on facility. class FacilityListView(ListAPIView): queryset = Facility.objects.all() serializer_class = FacilitySerializer permission_classes = [IsAuthenticated, DjangoModelPermissions] def get(self, request): self.check_permissions(request) facilities = Facility.objects.all() serializer = FacilitySerializer(facilities, many=True) return Response(serializer.data) If I test user permissions, I get an empty list. perms = list(user.get_all_permissions()) If I check whether the permission exists, I get the Facility model as result a = Permission.objects.get(codename='view_facility') However, if I check which permissions are required for Facility, I also get an empty list. p = perm.get_required_permissions('GET', Facility) The model is as basic as it can be from django.db import models class Facility(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=200) created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) def __str__(self): return self.name This is what it says in my settings, and I have no custom permissions classes or anything. REST_FRAMEWORK = { 'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': ( 'API.authentication.JWTAuthenticationFromCookie', ), 'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': [ 'rest_framework.permissions.IsAuthenticated', 'rest_framework.permissions.DjangoModelPermissions', ], } Unfortunately, I have not been able to find an answer to my problem. If anyone has any idea, that would be greatly appreciated!
