How to run Django migrations in Visual Studio 2022
I have created a Django project in my Visual Studio solution. The db.sqlite3 file was also created. There are a few classes in models.py. class Question(models.Model): q_id = models.IntegerField() text = models.CharField(max_length=500) class Option(): option_num = models.IntegerField() text = models.CharField(max_length=1000) When I right click on the project, there are these options - Make Migrations, Migrate & Create Superuser. When I execute Django Make Migrations, in the terminal it says Executing manage.py makemigrations, but nothing happens. Then I execute Migrate. It says, a command is already running. The __init__.py isn't updated. I also tried, executing this command in VS Terminal, but there is no response. python manage.py makemigrations -

Is it possible to use python-social-auth's EmailAuth with drf-social-oauth2 for registration
I have a facebook authentication in my project, and I've set up some pipelines. So It would be nice for non-social email registration to also utilize these pipelines. I tried adding EmailAuth to the authentication backends list, but I don't know what view to use now for registratioin. So, is it possible (or reasonable) to use EmailAuth with drf-social-oauth2 for non-social registration, and if so, how do I do it? -
Django Search Query Vulnerable to XSS - How to Prevent It?
I am working on a Django search functionality, and I noticed that when I pass JavaScript code in the URL query parameter, it executes on the page. Problem When I enter the following URL in my browser: http://127.0.0.1:8000/search/?q=%3Cscript%3Ealert(%27Hacked!%27)%3C/script%3E it shows an alert box with "Hacked!". I suspect my site is vulnerable to Reflected XSS. views.py from django.shortcuts import render def search_view(request): q = request.GET.get("q", "") # Get query parameter return render(request, "search.html", {"q": q}) search.html <h1>Search Results for: {{ q }}</h1> <!-- Displays the search query --> If I enter <script>alert('Hacked!')</script> in the search box, the JavaScript executes on the page instead of being displayed as plain text. What I Need Help With Why is this happening? What is the correct way to prevent XSS in this case? Does Django provide a built-in security mechanism for this? I appreciate any guidance on securing my search functionality. -

How can i edit external link format converter rule in wagtail cms draftail editor
When someone adds an external link in Wagtail CMS, they should have the option to choose whether to make the link 'nofollow' or 'noreferrer.' To achieve this, I have inherited the existing link form, and the code is provided here class CustomExternalLinkChooserForm(ExternalLinkChooserForm): rel = forms.ChoiceField( choices=[ ("noreferrer", "Noreferrer"), ("nofollow", "Nofollow"), ], required=False, label=_("Rel Attribute"), ) i have also inherited view class CustomExternalLinkView(ExternalLinkView): form_class = CustomExternalLinkChooserForm i registered this in wagtail hooks so admin take this override core view @hooks.register("register_admin_urls") def register_custom_external_link_view(): return [ path( "admin/choose-external-link/", CustomExternalLinkView.as_view(), name="wagtailadmin_choose_page_external_link", ) ] By using the above, it gives me an output like this, but the main issue is that when the Draftail rich text editor saves the link in the database, it does not add the rel attribute in href url. How can I solve this issue? -

Tailwind CSS does not generate CSS for all classes
I'm new to Tailwind CSS and I'm looking to include it in my Django/FastAPI project. I'm using Tailwind version 4.0.17. The problem I'm having is that Tailwind doesn't recognize the HTML tags I have in my template files... I run the following command : npx tailwindcss -i ./static/css/input.css -o ./static/css/output.css This generates a CSS file for me, but it doesn't have all the classes in it... On the other hand, when I test with this command : npx tailwindcss --content ./templates/test_endpoint.html --dry-run > output.css This time, all the CSS classes of the HTML template are present in the output file, but not the others (those of the other HTML templates). Here is the code for the tailwind.config.js file: /** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */ module.exports = { content: [ "./templates/**/*.html", "./templates/*.html", "templates/main/index.html", "templates/base.html", "./**/templates/**/*.html", "./static/**/*.css", "./fastapi_app/**/*.html", "./main/**/*.html" ], theme: { extend: {}, }, plugins: [], } I've tried reinstalling Tailwind several times, changing the paths, trying other commands, and the result is always the same. If you have any ideas on how to solve this problem, that would be great! Thanks -
Most efficient way to write a "Many to Occasional" field in Django
So I read that ManytoMany fields in Django were slower than ForeignKey lookups (as they make use of a helper table). I am creating an application that allows performers to catalog their acts. Each act they have in their catalog can have multiple images. However, I also want to specify one "Hero Image" of the Act which will be used for preview when they search through their catalog. each act can have many images, but only one of those could be a header image. I came up with three options but I want to hear what the hive has to think. ManytoManyField from django.db import models from django.contrib.auth.models import User # Create your models here. class Act(models.Model): title = models.CharField(max_length=200) user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE) description = models.TextField() hero_image = models.ForeignKey('Image', on_delete=models.SET_NULL, null=True) created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) updated_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True) class Image(models.Model): act = models.ManyToManyField(Act) image = models.ImageField(upload_to='images/') created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) updated_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True) Two Foreign Keys from django.db import models from django.contrib.auth.models import User # Create your models here. class Act(models.Model): title = models.CharField(max_length=200) user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE) description = models.TextField() hero_image = models.ForeignKey('Image', on_delete=models.SET_NULL, null=True) created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) updated_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True) class Image(models.Model): act = models.ForeignKey(Act, on_delete=models.CASCADE) image = models.ImageField(upload_to='images/') … -
not able to connect to postgresql server

Django + HTMX: how to have a CreateView that looks up information via HTMX and updates the form dynamically?
I'm a python and Django newbie. Also a newbie in StackOverflow... I'm trying to build a CreateView with a form that contains a button to lookup information via a GET request using HTMX. A user would encounter the form completely blank at first. Once they input a specific field (in this case a serial number), they can click the button that initiates the lookup/GET request. After the information is retrieved via the GET, I would like to update specific fields in the form with some of the information from the GET (essentially like an auto-complete). So far I have been able to build the initial CreateView (which is straightforward) and have been able to setup the button that does the HTMX GET request; I have also been able to retrieve the information needed but where I'm stuck is on being able to update/inject the values retrieved into specific fields from the form after the GET request. What are the steps I should take to handle that specific part? I have tried adding the form into the view that manages the HTMX get request and assigning some of the "initial" values, later having the form with the values defined as "initial" … -
How to propagate error on create method in DRF serializer?

I could send a custom message if I re-raise the error in the viewset like below, but it felt wrong as the error is AssertionError. class ConsultationViewset(...): def perform_create(self, serializer): try: serializer.save() except AssertionError as e: raise exceptions.PermissionDenied('custom message') How to properly raise a PermissionDenied error? -
How to send CSRF token using Django API and a Flutter-web frontend ? HeaderDisallowedByPreflightResponse

Which is better: using Django Constraints or raising a ValueError in the save method?
I’ve come across two ways to enforce a condition in Django models: Using the save method with a ValueError: class MyModel(models.Model): field_name = models.CharField(max_length=100) def save(self, *args, **kwargs): if not self.field_name: # Example condition raise ValueError("Field name cannot be empty.") super().save(*args, **kwargs) Using Django's Constraints (like CheckConstraint): from django.db import models from django.db.models import Q class MyModel(models.Model): field_name = models.CharField(max_length=100) class Meta: constraints = [ models.CheckConstraint( check=~Q(field_name=""), # Example condition name="field_name_not_empty", ) ] I know both approaches can enforce conditions, but I’m wondering: Which approach is more efficient? Which one is generally better to use in real-world scenarios? -
Calling a Django Management Command from a Celery Task and Redirecting Logs

I tried the worker_redirect_stdouts_level option, but it impacts the global Celery logging configuration. -
Django formset with nested single inline form of each formset object(form)
I'm trying to figure out the logic of building such structure: class Order(models.Model): id = ... class OrderItem(models.Model): order = FK(Order) quantity = CharField() category = CharField(choices=..) class OrderItemSchema(models.Model): class Meta: abstract = True order_item = OneToOneField(OrderItem) brand = CharField() model = CharField() class SomeProduct1Schema(OrderItemSchema): size = PositivieIntegerField() class SomeProduct2Schema(OrderItemSchema): weight = CharField() type = CharField() Let's assume some customer has created new Order which "Company" has to produce. There are different types of products (not much: 2-10) which may not have even single common parameter/field but still be placed withing one Order. The question is: How to manage FormSet (or there is another way?) of OrderItem elements where each element may has different fields? Example: OrderItem: [SomeProduct1Schema] \ category \ quantity \ brand \ model \ size OrderItem: [SomeProduct2Schema] \ category \ quantity \ brand \ model \ weight \ type So far I've added OrderItem inline formset to Order and both SomeProduct1Schema \ SomeProduct2Schema inline formsets attached to OrderItemFormSet as nested form. But it's works well with single nested formset class and becoming mess when need to handle multiple dynamically. Now I'm thinking to make SomeProduct1Schema classes to inherit from OrderItem directly using multi-table inheritance. Performance is not … -
