How to generate Django / Python Test for view with LoginRequiredMixin and UserPassesTestMixin
I am trying for some time to test a view of mine that I have protected from access via LoginRequiredMixin and UserPassesTestMixin. Unfortunately I do not manage to write the appropriate test. here is the view. The special thing is, that the user must not only be logged in, but he must also belong to the group "Administrator" or "Supervisor". With this combination I have not yet managed to write a test. Please who can help me. Here is my View: class FeatureListView(LoginRequiredMixin, UserPassesTestMixin, ListView): model = FeatureFilm template_name = "project/feature-list.html" def test_func(self): if self.request.user.groups.filter(name="Administrator").exists(): return True elif self.request.user.groups.filter(name="Supervisor").exists(): return True elif self.request.user.groups.filter(name="Operator").exists(): return True else: return False def handle_no_permission(self): return redirect("access-denied") and here is a snippet of the url.py: urlpatterns = [ path("feature/list/", FeatureListView.as_view(), name="feature-list"), path( "feature/<int:pk>/date", FeatureDetailViewDate.as_view(), name="feature-detail-date", ), how would you test this FeatureListView and the template belongs to thank you very much! -
Django: How does one mock a method called in an api test?
I keep hitting a method scan_file() that should be mocked. It happens while calling self.client.post() in a django api test. The app setup is below, I've tried mocked the imported scan_file patch("myapp.views.scan_file") as well as the source location patch("myapp.utils.scan_file") neither work. # myapp.views.py from myapp.utils import scan_file class MyViewset(): def scan(): scan_file() # <- this should be mocked but its entering the code #myapp.utils.py def scan_file() -> bool: boolean_result = call_api() return boolean_result #test_api.py class MyAppTest(): def test_scan_endpoint(self): patcher = patch("myapp.views.scan_file") MockedScan = patcher.start() MockedScan.return_value = True # This post hits the scan_file code during the api # call but it should be mocked. resp = self.client.post( SCAN_ENDPOINT, data={ "file" :self.text_file, "field1" : "Progress" } ) I've also tried the following syntax for mocking, and tried including it in the test setup() as well: self.patcher = patch("myapp.views.scan_file") self.MockedScan = self.patcher.start() self.MockedScan.return_value = True -
How are Django's form assets (Media class) served?
The "Form Assets" page of Django says Django allows you to associate different files – like stylesheets and scripts – with the forms and widgets that require those assets. For example, if you want to use a calendar to render DateFields, you can define a custom Calendar widget. This widget can then be associated with the CSS and JavaScript that is required to render the calendar. When the Calendar widget is used on a form, Django is able to identify the CSS and JavaScript files that are required, and provide the list of file names in a form suitable for inclusion on your web page. Okay, but what component of Django takes those form assets and actually puts them in the page? I ask because I'm trying to use django-autocomplete-light (DAL) with django-bootstrap5 on a multi-select form with a many-to-many field. I've done all the installing, put the widget on my form field: class SomeForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = Something fields = ['things'] widgets = { 'things': autocomplete.ModelSelect2Multiple( url='myapp:things-autocomplete') } I can see the HTML for the form widget includes autocomplete-light stuff to multi-select "things" with "things" autocomplete: ... <select name="things" class="form-select" required id="id_things" data-autocomplete-light-language="en" data-autocomplete-light-url="/thing-autocomplete/" data-autocomplete-light-function="select2" multiple> </select> ... … -
Will I be able to use a wordpress site domain as a django website on a VPS?
I deleted all the files and folders associated with the Wordpress site I intend to write from scratch using standard HTML, JavaScript, CSS and with Django framework. My question is if I can use this domain with this newly created site in a VPS. At first I had erased the files and folders and recreated it with the Django app right onto the Wordpress structure, and that does not seem to be working. I am most likely doing something wrong anyways, but I am after the right way of accomplishing this. -
Django cannot migrate on Galera but MariaDB standalone works
I'm using Django together with MariaDB, I now moved my application to K8s and my Django migration don't want to run through, instead the whole migration process fails.

I want to make a checkbox type filter on the items of an e-commerce
I have a simple e-commerce where I want to filter items. This will be done in a form checkbox, but the form's categories are user-created, ie it's a "for" of Cor.objects.all() .

Django: Pass non-editable data from the client to the server
I am building a media tracker for TV shows and movies. When the user makes a query on the front-end, on the server I make a request with an API in which I get TV shows/movies with id, title, image link, media type, seasons, etc. After that, I display the result of the query on the front-end with the name and image: Then the user can select one of the results and get a simple form: The thing is that after submitting the form, I want to save the score and progress with the id, media type and other parameters that aren't shown on the front-end but are related to the media submitted. At the moment I am using to pass the values to the server: <input type="hidden" name="id" value="{{media.response.id}}"> The problem with this is that the user could change the id value with the developer tool (inspector), which would cause problems. I don't really know how to validate the form as the id could be any number. Is there a better and still simple approach? Thanks in advance -
Django_filter: filtering using current value of another field
So I was tasked with creating a events page where my company can post upcoming events and visitors can filter based on location, title or event type based on other 'is_virtual' which can be in person, virtual or hybrid. Now they want to 'ignore' the location filter if the event is virtual or hybrid but to keep it if the event is in person. I've been having issues accessing the value of the is_virtual field of the current object to create the conditional filtering based on it's value. here's the filter code: import django_filters from django import forms from .models import EventsPage class EventsFilter(django_filters.FilterSet): event_type = django_filters.ChoiceFilter( choices=EventsPage.event_choices, empty_label='Event Type', widget=forms.Select(attrs={'class': 'custom-select mb-2'}) ) location = django_filters.ChoiceFilter( choices=EventsPage.location_choices, empty_label='All Locations', widget=forms.Select(attrs={'class': 'custom-select mb-2'}) ) title = django_filters.CharFilter( lookup_expr='icontains', widget=forms.TextInput( attrs={'class': 'form-control', 'placeholder': 'Search Events'}) ) class Meta: model = EventsPage fields = ['event_type', 'location', 'title'] any ideas helps! thanks in advance. tried using the method keyword argument built in django_filter library and the values passed to the helper method only show the value of the current field but I can't see the current value of the is_virtual field. here's what I tried to do: location = django_filters.ChoiceFilter( method='location_filtering', choices=EventsPage.location_choices, empty_label='All … -
Django show exception in webpage instead of on console
I am launching a Django API from the console via the following command line: python3.10 manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8080 However, sometimes, when there is an error on one of the pages, like for instance if I import a python package that was not installed via pip, the webserver does not get launched, I get a python exception on the console, but no webserver is launched (the network port is not even listening). Is there a way to still have the webserver running and showing any exceptions or errors that might arise ? This API is for learning purposes, the students should only be able to deploy their code by doing a git push and the new code is deployed. But in case of an error that is not shown in the webpages they would not know what went wrong, they do not have access to the server to see the console. Thank you for your help. -

Django how to rebuild reference to get value?
I want to generate an email with dynamic fields. The basic idea is to replace reserved words in email content with a value from the database. I have a model User with the following fields: class User(models.Model): full_name = models.CharField(max_length=254) age = models.IntegerField(max_length=254) email = models.EmailField(max_length=254) note = models.TextField(max_length=254) And I created another model Templates where I store the email template: class Templates(models.Model): template_name = models.CharField(max_length=255) template_content = RichTextField(blank=True, null=True) As you can see, the email template stores in the RichTextField and have look like this: Hello ${object.full_name} This is your email: ${object.email} At the backend I have a POST function which supposes to replace all ${object.whatever} with the relevant field, but I do not understand how can I explain to the program what I need without hardcoding all existing model fields. def replace_email_content(request): if request.method == 'POST': chosen_id = request.POST.get('choosen_id', None) content = request.POST.get('content',None) user = User.objects.get(id=chosen_id) # ...Some REGEX here to find all places where value should be inserted list_of_found_words = ['${object.full_name}','${object.email}'] for word in list_of_found_words: # HERE code to generate link ${object.
