Django, custom 404 page redirects to 500 when Debug=False because Django cannot find exception parameter
When Debug = True django returns a Page not found (404) page which is totally fine But when I change Debug = False django return a Server Error (500) and the server shows these requests made: [30/Jul/2022 12:29:44] "GET /__reload__/events/ HTTP/1.1" 500 145 [30/Jul/2022 12:29:44] "GET /__reload__/events/ HTTP/1.1" 500 145 [30/Jul/2022 12:29:44] "GET /sdfs HTTP/1.1" 500 145 [30/Jul/2022 12:29:45] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 302 0 myproject main urls.py from django.conf.urls import handler404 handler404 = 'myproject.views.custom_page_not_found' please note here that hander404 is not found by django handler404 not found my views.py def custom_page_not_found(request, exception, template_name="errors/404.html"): return render(request, template_name, status=404) Please not here django cannot find the exception parameter exception parameter not found In previous community questions i could not find any question that points to the exception parameter not found issue. Please note that i am not using django templates {% %} in my 404.html file I think when django does not find the exception parameter it returns server error 500. -
What are the consequences of enforcing django foreign keys constraints at database level?
We'd like to add to an existing django app foreign keys implementation at the database level and we wonder what side effects we should expect from this. Some explanations more in details: We have a Django app, based on postgresql backend. Quite a lot of data, foreign keys, tables, etc. It used to be pure django based so we never even noticed that actually django does not implement foreign keys at database level but rather emulates it in the python stack. Now we try to integrate another project which ships SQL statements that we'd like to apply on the django database. So we receive statements like DELETE FROM foo WHERE id=bar. These statements can fail because of foreign keys which are implemented as ON DELETE RESTRICT (or maybe NO ACTION I don't remember right now) initially by django. To solve our issue, we though we could alter the foreign keys in postgres to mimic the django behavior (on delete cascade or set null mainly). This without changing anything in the django code. One comment by 'dirkgroten' found in Django does not honor ON DELETE CASCADE seems to suggest that this would not break the main application but, before we run … -

Django ORM annotate Query
I have a subquery which returns an array. I want to perform certain operations to pick one data out of that array. I am not able to figure out how to do it. query_obj = VendorSecurity.objects.filter( valid_data=True ).values( "id", "rate", ).annotate( rating_val=Subquery( MySecurity.object.order_by("-date_of_credit_rating") .values("credit_rating_agency_code")[:1] ), ) ) I want to process my rating_val which will be an array. I tried pass the subquery result to a fun like: annotate( rating_val=myFun(Subquery( MySecurity.object.order_by("-date_of_credit_rating") .values("credit_rating_agency_code")[:1] )), ) ) But I am not able to access subquery value. I also tried passing later part of subquery to model manager but again I am not able to access subquery response. -
GitHub action couldn't find environment variable for Django
I was trying to use the environment variable in my Django application where I use the django-environ package with the .env file in my local machine. But I can't use the .env file in my GitHub action.

django.contrib.sessions legacy? What should I use instead?
I'm following a tutorial to build a full-stack app using Django and Next.js. In the process of identifying users, the tutorial uses sessions. I have a basic understanding of sessions, so I decided to go along and learn about them. I eventually ran into a problem where one of my states wasn't updating with the response from the backend. I noticed that when sending a request to the backend, the session_key printed None. This is the code in views.py: class CreateRoomView(APIView): serializer_class = CreateRoomSerializer def post(self, request, format=None): print(self.request.session.session_key) if not self.request.session.exists(self.request.session.session_key): self.request.session.create() print(self.request.session.session_key) I scoured the web to find a solution. In the process, I learned a ton, and I kept reading information about the django.contrib.sessions app was legacy and would be a problem with new chrome versions. What should I make of this and what alternatives are there to sessions? I want to keep following the tutorial, but I'd like to apply the current best practices. What should I use instead of sessions? Thanks -

Printing a 2d list in Django template
I have a model with a JSONField class Session(models.Model): title = models.CharField(max_length=50) application_list = JSONField(blank=True, null=True) and i want to bring the values on frontend and use it through django template for some filtering. An example of what this JSONField may contain: [{"type": "questionnaire", "primary_key": "13"}, {"type": "questionnaire", "primary_key": "4"}, {"type": "questionnaire", "primary_key": "8"}]. I managed to get the data in a list with: app_data = Session.objects.values_list('application_list', flat=True) pub_data = [] for app in app_data: for x in app: pub_data.append( [x['type'], x['primary_key']]) print(pub_data) which prints [['questionnaire', '13'], ['questionnaire', '4'], ['questionnaire', '8'], ['seriousgame', '16']].

How do I make a ModelChoiceField's values show the actual values on a page instead of numbers?

Edit Form Submit handler for a Model
I have a fairly simple django model in a Wagtail CMS; essentially: from django.db import models class Thingy(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=False, null=False, unique=True) # Many other fields. panels = [ FieldPanel("name"), # ... ] I need to perform an action when this model is saved via the Wagtail model edit form (eg /admin/section/thingy/123/edit). Currently, I have registered a post_save signal, however this has resulted in the method being called when the model is saved programmatically (via an import sync task). I've had a look in the Django docs, but can't see anything obvious... is there a way to register a signal for the form submission (ideally after the internal submission and save is handled). (If it's any relevance; I need to trigger a search reindex based on a relation to the model; anything that references instance 123 of thing Things that was saved needs to be reindexed)
