How to show a jquery dropdown menu in a django test with selenium?
I don't find the way to make visible a jquery dropdown menu in a django test with selenium. Here some parts of the code ("admin_user" is the link who has to drop down the menu with link "Coop Admin App"): def wait_loading(self, driver, xpath_string): try: WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, xpath_string))) return True except TimeoutException as ex: print("Exception has been thrown. " + str(ex)) def test_membership_request(self): s = self.selenium s.get('%s%s' % (self.live_server_url, "/")) self.wait_loading(s, '//a[contains(text(), "admin_user")]') s.find_element_by_partial_link_text("admin_user").click() self.wait_loading(s, '//a[contains(text(), "Coop Admin App")]') s.find_element_by_partial_link_text('Coop Admin App').click() The test is always throwing ElementNotVisibleException, so the click in "admin_user" seems not to make visible "Coop Admin App". Any ideas? -
Django Model delete foreign key
I have my Model Config, which contains a ForeignKey PeriodicTask. I want to have an 1 to 1 relation, meaning that when I delete Config that PeriodicTask gets deleted and vice versa. class Config(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=200, unique=True) task = models.ForeignKey(PeriodicTask, default=None, null=True, blank=True, on_delete=models.CASCADE) Using CASCADE only my Config gets deleted, when PeriodicTask gets deleted but not vice versa. Also PeriodicTask belongs to an external module, so I don't have direct access to it. How can I accomplish a 1 to 1 deletion relation? -
nginx+gunicorn+django: Gunicorn timeout within 30Sec How to solve it without changing timeout in Conf file?
My app is running with nginx+gunicorn+DRF. nginx gives 502 because ,for perticular process gunicorn need more than 30 sec. However If I assign process to celery, tasks get completed but Gunicorn gets timeout because it is waiting for Celery to complete the task(Which takes more than 30 Seconds). How can I free Gunicorn when my task is running on Celery. I don't want to change timeout in conf file of Gunicorn because in future many process comes with different processing time.So I need some concrete solution. How to resolve it completely? -

Integrate let's chat with django
I have recently checked out http://sdelements.github.io/lets-chat/, a really cool group chat application built on NodeJS and MongoDB. I am working on a project in Django/Postgres and need a quick and neat group chat solution. How do I integrate let's chat into my application. The queries I have, Ideally the authentication should happen in django and the creation of users/chat rooms too. How to handle communications between Node server and Django server. In the time of hosting, what should i be worried about? What are the other problems I can run into? Is there any other alternative to let's chat with MIT license and similar features? I am very sorry for being naive in question. I am just a beginner. Please help me out. -

Cron(django_cron) not working
I created cron in order to parse data in some period of time. On localhost it worked nice by command python manage.py runcrons. There was a print function inside do which let me see that everything is correct, but the main result is data saving to database.

Need to extract the first letter of each item in a queryset and pass it to template
I am passing the variable "first_letter" to a view and want to compare this letter to the first letter of each item returned from a query. I can't get to the point where I have a list to compare to, I only get one item returned. Model: class Subjects(models.Model) subject = models.CharField(max_length=75) .... View: def subjects_by_letter(request, first_letter): subject_list = Subjects.objects.all() for item in subject_list: letter = item.subject[0] return render_to_response('/path/to/mytemplate.html', { 'subject_list': subject_list, 'first_letter': first_letter, 'letter': letter, }) With this in the view what I am getting is the first letter of the last record in the query only: ... for item in subject_list: letter = item.subject[0] ... eg: if I have subjects entries of "Apple", "Banana" & "Cucumber" it will return just C instead of a list containing A, B & C. I was hoping someone could pinpoint what simple thing I am missing. Thanks. -
