Error when importing django fixture with natural key
In context of a django project, I want to create some sample data in forme of a fixture. I have export my data with natural key to avoid any data overnight at the import but I'm not able to import data at all. The fixture has been created with the following command : python manage.py dumpdata --format yaml --natural-primary --natural-foreign conformity.policy conformity.measure > conformity/fixture/NIST.yaml I have tried to import the fixture with the following command : python manage.py loaddata conformity/fixture/NIST.yaml but I have the following error django.core.serializers.base.DeserializationError: Problem installing fixture 'conformity/fixture/NIST.yaml': ['“NIST Cybersecurity Framwork” value must be an integer.']: (conformity.measure:pk=None) field_value was 'NIST Cybersecurity Framwork' It seems to me that django don't understand data correctly and try to use natural key directly as a primary key. I haven't found any option to change this behavior. Of course YAML file don’t have any pk for the object to be imported (du to natural key), I was expected Django to automatically generate them. -
upload file with django from model

How can I do redirect in DRF and pass data to a client (React JS)?
Backend: DRF Frontend: ReactJS I call a function openGoogleLoginPage if a user clicks on a button that opens a google login page and redirects to a server localhost:8000. const openGoogleLoginPage = useCallback(() => { const urlParams = new URLSearchParams(params).toString(); window.location = `${googleAuthUrl}?${urlParams}`; }); <Button onClick={openGoogleLoginPage}> Integrate Google Calendar </Button> On the server I get some JSON data and then redirect back to the client from django.shortcuts import redirect class GoogleLoginApi(APIView): def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs): data=process(request) response = redirect("http://localhost:3000", args=data) return response So I passed the data to redirect, but how can I get what I passed on the client side? Or maybe there is another way to redirect with a data? Anyway, how can I get it in my react app? -
how to send one section's field id to another section for the output
currently I'm making an 'django' app which has functionality of wizard form, in which I want output from first section of wizard form (which has dropdown list) to last section of the wizard form. To clarify more first section has only one dropdown list (sms, whatsapp, twitter, facebook, instagram, etc..), in second section also dropdown list (which has a department lists which means from which department you want to send...), in third section it should be dynamic and that will be depends on the first section of my wizard. For exaple if i select sms then in 3rd section it should show section which is specifically designed for sms and like wise. So, how should i do that?, if you still don't understand contact- captionamerica1112@gmail.com -

Aggregate/Annotate issue with OuterRef not working with non-FK relationship in Django? Is FK required?
I've got an issue with a couple models from different 'shared apps' that I have. I can't FK them together, because these apps exist in multiple projects (some without each other) so it would break other projects. This is an unmanaged model from appA - which uses a different database which we will call databaseA for this example; in a perfect world 'location_id' would be the FK but as I've described above, it cannot be. class Enrollment(models.Model): id = models.IntegerField(db_column="ID", primary_key=True) location_id = models.IntegerField(db_column="locationID") grade = models.CharField(db_column="grade", max_length=10) student_count = models.IntegerField(db_column="studentCount") class Meta(object): managed = False db_table = "mytable_Enrollments" This is a managed model from appB which uses databaseB (which is the primary database used by the rest of the apps in this project); the 'pk' or 'id' of this model is what is listed in the Enrollment model under location_id class Location(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=50) alternate_name = models.IntegerField() If I want to get Enrollment objects for a Location, I have to explicitly put a number in for the id like so: location = Location.objects.get(id=1) enrollments = Enrollment.objects.filter(location_id = location.id) But I'm trying to annotate the 'total_student_count' onto the Location model like so: enrollments = ( Enrollment.objects.filter(location_id=OuterRef("pk")) .order_by() .values("location_id") ) … -

django request in render to string template
I used to think, request is global variable that can always be accessed in template. until, I defined a property on model instance, and returns render_to_string template. class Profile(models.Model): user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE) def card(self): return render_to_string('common/user_card.html', {'user': self.user}) user_card.html {% if request.user == user %} {% elif request.user in user.profile.follower.all %} <span href="{{ user.pk }}" class="user-follow not-followed">unfollow</span> {% else %} <span href="{{ user.pk }}" class="user-follow followed">follow</span> {% endif %} for the result, request is always None and the conditional always jump to else. the request keyword is not picked up by render_to_string, should it be global in any template since we must have a request to return something? I cannot believe it, in many other template I have things defined like: {{ user.profile.card }} I have no idea on what to do now, is there a way to make request always a keyword in any html template? this is such a bad feature that request is not available in render_to_string template which we cannot check who is requesting the page. -

Django UniqueConstraint on Distant Model
I have models like this. The basic relationship is that auth.Group can have multiple Projects, and multiple Orders can be associated with each Project. Simplified version: from django.db import models class Project(models.Model): group = models.ForeignKey("auth.Group", on_delete=models.SET_NULL, null=True) class Order(models.Model): project = models.ForeignKey(Project, on_delete=models.CASCADE) external_id = models.CharField(max_length=255) The Orders have external_ids that relate them to another system. Those should be unique at the auth.Group level. I know that I can do this: class Order(models.Model): group = models.ForeignKey("auth.Group", on_delete=models.SET_NULL, null=True) project = models.ForeignKey(Project, on_delete=models.CASCADE) external_id = models.CharField(max_length=255) class Meta: constraints = ( models.UniqueConstraint( fields=["group", "external_id"], name="unique_external_id_per_group" ), ) But I don't want to replicate the group relationship on the order. I tried this: class Meta: constraints = ( models.UniqueConstraint( fields=["project.group", "external_id"], name="unique_external_id_per_group" ), ) and: class Meta: constraints = ( models.UniqueConstraint( fields=["project__group", "external_id"], name="unique_external_id_per_group" ), ) But I just get 'constraints' refers to the nonexistent field 'project.group'. -
Django: Append json data to Response object
New to Python/Django. I am wanting to conditionally append json data to a Response object if a particular filter is present in my request, all within the same json array. There is also standard information I want to return in every response. For example, I have: filter = request.GET['filter'] response = Response({'services': []}) if filter == 'service1': response.data['services'] = {'service1': service_data.get('service1')} response.data['connectivity'].add|append|something({'base_service_data': service_data.get('base')}) return response I can't seem to find a way of appending to this services array, only assigning and therefore overwriting what was there before. Can this be done? The goal is to allow filter to be a list, and have a number of services appended to services. -

Django prefetch_related - exclude all empty items from template

Bash command lines in "Django" views.py file during production stage
I'm working on a project, where I'm using bash command lines in views.py to start a program (https://github.com/cleardusk/3DDFA), which creates files. I use this ugly line: os.system('cd ../cleardusk/3DDFA\npython main.py -f ../../django_project/media/'+filen+'\ncd ../../django_project/') For clarity: cd ../cleardusk/3DDFA python main.py -f ../../django_project/media/'+filen cd ../../django_project/ Where variable "filen" is my filename of an uploaded photo. Everything was working fine, when it was in development stage, but since I transfered my project on a server, this no longer works. At first I thought, I was having problems with virtual environments or ownership of the files or even permissions, but that was not the case. The "cleardusk 3ddfa" probably isn't called, because it does not generate new files. I have searched for an answer, but it seems, no one is using bash command lines in views.py. I have to use bash, since it's only way to run "cleardusk 3ddfa" and I have to run it in views.py since in my project client uploads a photo and filename is there, which I use to call this program. Apache Error log says: cant cd to cleardusk Note, I'm new to "Apache" and all production stage stuff. Is there a problem with Apache configuration or what? Any ideas … -
Bank ATM ledger in Django - - deposit, withdrawal, balance
I’m trying to build a rudimentary interactive ATM machine ledger prototype demo in Python with Django. Here is what my web app currently looks like. The intended basic functionality I am trying to create right now is to have the web visitor (banking client) enter the amount of cash in the input field and then click: “Deposit” or ”Withdraw”. Say for example the client deposits $20.00, the amount should appear in the HTML table under the “Credits” column and the “Running Balance” column should reflect that as well, like anyone would expect a typical ATM and accounting ledger to behave. The end goal is to have unique timestamps and transaction IDs to generate with each transaction, but for now I am focused on just getting the ‘running balance’ variable (rightmost column) to update when the web visitor inputs an amount and clicks “Deposit”. Currently, when a web visitor enters $20.00 as the amount in the box and then clicks “Deposit”, since I’ve got a print statement inside my views.py, the Django terminal shows: <QueryDict: {'csrfmiddlewaretoken': ‘<redacted>'], 'amount': ['20.00'], 'transaction': ['Deposit']}>. So an amount is being accepted and processed. But the Running Balance remains $0.00, which is what I am trying …
