redirect to another page for script execution in django
I got a problem, I'm making a web for SqlServer Agent Jobs execution, and I got to type of Jobs, with parameters or without parameters (I added this attribute in my table with a boolean), so if my job got no paremeters executes normally, but if my job got parameters it redirects to another page where I can type the value of the parameters and then execute the job. I got my code byt it returns error "didn't return an Http.Response", can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'll leave some code below views.py #Job execution def ejecutar(request, job_name): print("Ejecutando el job") cursor = connection.cursor() job = Jobs.objects.get(job_name=job_name) if job.flag_params == 0: cursor.execute("EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_start_job '" + job.job_name + "'") return HttpResponse("""<html><script>alert("Job ejecutado");window.location.replace('/home');</script></html>""") else: #redirects to parameters.html redirect('parameters.html', job_name=job.job_name) if request.method == 'POST': #get job parameters parametros = Parametros.objects.filter(job_id=job.id) for parametro in parametros: #Update parameters in my table cursor.execute("UPDATE Jobs_parametros SET parameter_value='" + request.POST['parameter'] + "' WHERE parameter_name='" + parametro.parameter_name + "' AND job_id='" + str(job.id) + "'") cursor.execute("EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_start_job '" + job.job_name + "'") return HttpResponse("""<html><script>alert("Job ejecutado");window.location.replace('/home');</script></html>""") #Get Job List per User def insertar(request): #get user id who logged in user = Usuarios.objects.get(username=request.session['username']) #get jobs asigned to the … -
Django Api-Key with unit test
I am trying to implement unit tests to an existing project, the existing project uses Api-Key's to access and authenticate against the Api endpoints. if I do the following via postman or command line: curl --location --request GET 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/user_db' \ --header 'Authorization: Api-Key REDACTED' \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --data-raw '{ "username" : "testuser@localhost" }' Everything works great, however when trying to add the Api-Key to the header in Unit tests I receive the following : 'detail': ErrorDetail(string='Authentication credentials were not provided.', code='not_authenticated')} AssertionError: 403 != 200 from rest_framework.test import APITestCase from rest_framework import status from django.urls import reverse import environ env = environ.Env() class GetUserTestCase(APITestCase): def test_get_user_account(self): getdata = { "username" : "testuser@localhost" } response = self.client.get(reverse('users_db'), data=getdata, **{ "HTTP_AUTHORIZATION": f"Api-Key {env('API_KEY')}" }) print(response.data) self.assertEqual(response.status_code, status.HTTP_200_OK) self.assertEqual(response.data["username"],response.data["enc_password"],response.data["oid"]) Also tried with the following items: headers = { 'Authorization': f'Api-Key {env("API_KEY")}', 'Content-Type': 'application/json' } response = self.client.get(reverse('users_db'), data=getdata, headers=headers) AND self.client.credentials(HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=f"Api-Key {env('API_KEY')}") No joy so far, anyone else had this problem and find a way forward? -

Django ORM expression for recursive sum type?
I am making a simple PLM software and the recursive component system is necessary for it. Specifically, I would like to know if there is any way one can express the data type below with Django ORM; if not what would be the best workaround? Component ::= Part | [Component] (or Set of Components) I think the problem breaks down into two issues. How to express sum type with Django ORM How to express a List of a type with ORM For the second issue alone, I am using the two Models (or Table); One for the list instance and another for the rows of the lists which have foreign key filed of list instance to indicate which model it belongs to. However, It seems not that useful for this case; Especially considering querying and forms. What would be the closest expression of the data type above in Django ORM? -

Django create common "createObject" view logic
I've got a django app with multiple models, and mostly crud functionalities. Most of my views are very similar, ie. for example, all ModelnameCreate functions have very similar structure. So I decided to make helper function: (here is an example of helper for creating new objects) def createFuncHelper(request, title_label , formClass , form_render , success_render , renderToViewWithId , success_message): form = formClass() if request.method=='POST': form = formClass(request.POST, request.FILES) if form.is_valid(): form.instance.updatedBy = request.user newObject = form.save() messages.success(request, success_message) if(renderToViewWithId): return redirect(success_render, id=newObject.pk) else: return redirect(success_render) return render(request, form_render, {'form':form, 'title_label':title_label}) Which is called from my each view (for each model) eg.: def BookingCreate(request): return createFuncHelper(request, etc... It works, but the question for my more experience collegues is - if it is the right approach, or are there any serious risks I'm not aware? -

How to access data from previous form in django-formtools wizard?
I'm trying to use information selected in a previous step of a wizard in a subsequent step. I assume this is a pretty common use case but my googling has ben of limited help, so I think I'm not approaching it in the django way. I only find a few questions from 10 years ago. I have distinct templates defined for each step It seems like there must be a very basic way to access the previous steps data but I'm struggling (new to Django in general) This is the only documentation I can find but it seems to be just be describing how to use the context dictionary to determine to skip a step or not. There must be some 1 IQ simple way to get a value input in step 1 and display it in step 2.. Please help me! -

Truncate consecutive values in a Django (TimescaleDB) QuerySet

Unitest DRF with CONTEXT
