Coverage is showing different for full pytest and single app in django using pytest
I have created a project in Django, and I'm writting testcases in pytest. Now, to use coverage I generally use cmd coverage run -m pytest. And to check coverage for specific app, i report/create html files with coverage html , so this will create html files with red and green markers. Recently, I am experementing with different combinations of configurations of coverage and pytest, and found that when run full pytest with coverage like coverage run -m pytest it will not cover all lines, and mark some lines as missing which is actually running while pytest. But when I use pytest with some argument with coverage like coverage run -m pytest accounts , it is covering all perfectly and not showing missing file as I expected. I have tried running whole project with coverage run -m pytest and then run coverage html to see in browser. I got all file's coverage, and to see coverage of specific app for example restaurant , i searched in top right search box and its showing as below. Full Pytest Coverage Full pytest coverage with searched result Now, I have to run coverage for specific app so i can do it like coverage run … -

how to take average of every 10 minutes of a model django
I am using multiple APIs and save them to the database. I have one model called Station(it has datetime field and some other fields ) and every API is for one station. these APIs come from devices that measure some variables and they get updated every 3 minutes. so I wrote a backend task that calls a saveToDB function and stores them in database. for example: station A "some variables" 2022/10/1 13:10 station B "some variables" 2022/10/1 13:10 station A "some variables" 2022/10/1 13:13 station B "some variables" 2022/10/1 13:13 now I need to take average of every station every 10 minutes,2 hours,week, month, year. there are 30 stations. how can i do this? -
Multiple same requests in django rest class based view
I recently began using class-based views in the development of Django rest APIs. While discussing this with a friend, he inquired, "What if I have the same type of request multiple times in the same class?" because, as stated in the rest documentation, I created post functions for POST requests and get functions for GET requests. So, how to write two GET or other types of requests within the same class? -
How can I Deploy a Django App as a .war file or in any other packaged way?
I have a Django Project for which I am trying to find a way to deploy as a .war file. My objective is to not reveal the source code during deployment to De-Couple Django App from Database and deploy as a .war file. This will help me to update the app without re-initializing database. As Jython is not supported for Python3, is there an alternative? I also tried to create an exe through PyIntsaller but it acts as a malicious executable. -
Django crontab can’t connect database(Postgresql) with docker; no such table err
I am using django and postgresql. I am using django-crontab to change the data. It runs well in the local environment, but we use docker to deploy and watch, and I confirmed that when cron runs, we refer to sqlite3.

what is the quickest way to style django model form fields one by one
I have ModelForm which renders successfully. this is my forms.py form class UploadPostsForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = Post fields = ['title', 'description', 'date', 'file'] this is how it looks in templates I want it to look like below using bootstrap5 what is the fastest and easiest way to do it?

Redirect after saving site setting
I'm trying to redirect the user to a custom HTML page after saving a BaseSiteSetting model in Wagtail 4.1.1 I'm not sure how to accomplish this, the BaseSiteSetting inherits from django models.Model which means it's possible to override the save() function but how would I do the actual redirect without having access to the request? Another acceptable solution would be to add an extra button in the CMS by overriding the default BaseSiteSetting HTML template but I can't seem to get that working either, except for ModelAdmin templates. I've opened a stackoverflow question about that here. My view with the custom HTML page: def sync(request): return render(request, "import.html", {"WS_PROTOCOL": settings.WS_PROTOCOL}) My BaseSiteSetting model: @register_setting class AnonymousSuccessStoryImportSetting(BaseSiteSetting): """ Setting for importing anonymous success stories. """ file = models.FileField( upload_to="success_story_imports/%Y/%m/%d/", validators=[validate_file_extension], help_text="Upload a CSV file, then click 'Save' afterwards", blank=True, null=True, ) date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) class Meta: verbose_name = "Importer" I've looked around for possible solutions, and found some wagtail hooks but these only apply to the Wagtail Page model, for example: after_publish_page. It's unfortunate that there's no hook for standard django models. -
How to set the queryset in forms.Form(ModelChoiceField) for Drop Down city List?
I have set a ForeignKey() for class Town in the models file. Ideally, when I select a state, all towns belonging to this state will be listed in town. #models.py class State(models.Model): state = models.CharField(max_length=50) code = models.CharField(max_length=3) def __str__(self): return self.state class Town(models.Model): town = models.CharField(max_length=50) code = models.CharField(max_length=4) state = models.ForeignKey(State, on_delete=models.CASCADE) def __str__(self): return self.town Now I can only use all() in queryset to display all towns. I feel like I should use filter(), but I can't find a way to do it。 #forms.py class Location(forms.Form): state = forms.ModelChoiceField( required = True, label = "State", queryset = State.objects.all(), widget = forms.Select(attrs = { "class": "form-list-field"} )) town = forms.ModelChoiceField( required = True, label = "Town", queryset = Town.objects.filter( ??? ).order_by('town'), widget = forms.Select(attrs = { "class": "form-list-field"} )) -
Trying to find a way to pass a list to an item in request.POST. How do I do it?
This is my html code in django project: <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>Title</title> {% load static %} <script src="{% static 'jquery-3.6.2.min.js' %}" ></script> </head> <body> <form action="{% url 'index' %}" method="post"> {% csrf_token %} <button id="button1" name="action" value="">button2</button> <script> $("#button1").click( function(){ arr = ["one", "two"] $("#button1").attr('value',arr) } ) </script> </form> </body> </html> By clicking the button I run JQuery that assigns an array: arr to button1's value. This is request.POST afterwards: <QueryDict: {'csrfmiddlewaretoken': ['Rws3PVVBVOGsoXm720M5YbuZNTYMin6CxklI78in2PWdrxAYKxw3XqV7cba2xt7P'], 'action': ['one,two']}> Instead of 'action': ['one,two'] I want to get 'action': ['one', 'two'], or 'action': [['one', 'two']] How do I do it? -
Why is Django's client.post nesting arg values in lists?
I'm unit testing my api with Django like this: result = self.client.post( reverse(path), { "arg1":"value" }) Inside the view, I breakpoint. @api_view(["POST"]) def post_arg(request): breakpoint() But when I print the POST data, the values have been added to lists. (Pdb) request.POST { 'arg1': ['value'] } This example only has one arg, but if I add more they are each added to a list. I don't think this happens when my frontend posts data, so why does it here? And is there a way to not have the values added to a list? -

When I make the website outside of Django it works perfectly fine. However, when I integrate everything in and put the CSS file in static files, it fails to load. The JavaScript file in the same folder loads perfectly fine. The files being used are: base.html, adminDash.html, admin.js, main.css, and admin.css. The admin.css file is the one specific to adminDash.html and is the one failing to load.

Django Rest Framework web service - `Unsupported Media Type: /api/function_name`
I'm working on building a React (Next.js) application that will communicate with a DRF web service. The application will not be interacting with a database very much but instead sending in data to crunch with the DRF app which will return derived values for display in the React app. On a form submission, I have the following function run on the React side: (values) => { fetch(http://localhost:8000/api/testing_post/", { mode: 'no-cors', method: "POST", headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}, body: JSON.stringify(values, null, 2) }).then(res => { console.log("Request complete! response:", res); }); } This posts the form data to the following view function in the DRF app: @api_view(["POST"]) @parser_classes([JSONParser]) def testing_post(request): print(dir(request)) print(request.data) return Response(status=status.HTTP_200_OK) When I run without print(request.data), everything works as expected. However, when I include this line, I get a 415 error Unsupported Media Type: /api/testing_post/ I'm confused as to why I'm receiving this message - I'm clearly setting the content type in the request; and, on the server side, am using a JSON parser. Does anyone know where the issue is stemming from? Thanks in advance! -
How to add data from an API to Django's database when i click on a button
My question is going to be split into two halves for a better understanding. First half: I'm trying to add a bunch of data that I rendered on a page from an API endpoint, to my database when I click "Add to my records", as can be seen in the image below, keeping in my mind that there are a lot more cards such as for other countries and I'm only trying to store "Date and Country" into the database: enter image description here and the second half, is after adding to the database I want to render them on another page, and if the database is empty aka the user hasn't added any data to the database yet, i want the page to show "now data to display" but if the user did, i want to render what's in the database. enter image description here Here's what I've tried so far: models.py from django.db import models class CountryData(models.Model): country = models.CharField(max_length=100) date = models.DateTimeField() def __str__(self): return self.country views.py def all_countries(request): first_response = requests.get('https://api.covid19api.com/summary').json() results = len(first_response['Countries']) my_new_list = [] for i in range(0, results): my_new_list.append(first_response['Countries'][i]) # print(my_new_list) if request.method == "POST": if request.POST.get('country') and request.POST.get('date'): added_record = CountryData() …
