This is with related to django in general. I am trying to debug this weird issue in django 2.2/python 3.7. If i set DEBUG=True, i am getting response for all my urls. But if i set DEBUG=True, all urls are throwing 404. I have tried all the existing django solutions like setting ALLOWED_HOSTS etc. But nothing is working.

Django Dev Server - sleep(N) in Middleware makes requests sleep multiple N seconds
Working on a middleware that slows down dev server response time. To simplify it I've created a very simple example that measures get_response time and then sleeps so the whole request cycle takes approximately 2 seconds. The problem is that when there are multiple requests sent at once, some of them sleep 2xN time (not just a little bit longer, it's multiplicated). I assume it's because of limits of Django's dev server concurrency. Is it possible to make it work? class SnailMiddleware: """ Middleware that throttle responses """ def __init__(self, get_response): self.get_response = get_response def __call__(self, request: HttpRequest): start = now() response = self.get_response(request) elapsed_time = (now() - start).total_seconds() time.sleep(2 - elapsed_time) return response These are the times: Do you know where is the problem and how to make it work? -
How do you mock an object in a list?

Create a many-to-many item in-line from a django form
I have to two models Directors and JobProject. A JobProject can have multiple directors through a many-to-many relationship. Currently, when I create a new JobProject I choose from the directors I have saved who the director will be. However, I am trying understand how can I code a form/view for creating a JobProject where I can also create a director in-line (in case I don't have the director already saved in the DB). In the admin there is a way to click on green + and open a pop-up, but the same process might not work for my use-case so I was hoping there was a way to create a form that allow users to: Start entering a JobProject details. If the director already exist in the DB - Great If the director doesn't exist, allow users to enter the details of a new director object (probably using Java?) in-line Users go ahead and finish entering JobProject details. Users click save and the BE first save the new director and then save the new project with director pointing at the newly created director. I basically have 1,2,4,5 figured out but I can't understand how to do 3. Any help? These … -

Unit test for Django Update form
I do not understand how to manage updates on forms and related unit tests and I would really appreciate some advises =) I have a Company model, and related very simple CompanyForm: class CompanyForm(forms.ModelForm): company_name = forms.CharField(label="Société", disabled=True) class Meta: model = Company exclude = [] The view is very simple too: @user_passes_test(lambda u: u.is_superuser or u.usercomp.is_admin) def adm_options(request, comp_slug): ''' Manage Company options ''' company = Company.get_company(comp_slug) comp_form = CompanyForm(request.POST or None, instance=company) if request.method == "POST": if comp_form.is_valid(): comp_form.save() return render(request, "polls/adm_options.html", locals()) This view works fine, I can update information (it's actually not used for creation, which is done thanks to the Django Admin panel). Unfortunately, I'm not able to build unit tests that will ensure update works! I tried 2 ways, but none of them worked. My first try was the following: class TestOptions(TestCase): def setUp(self): self.company = create_dummy_company("Société de test") self.user_staff = create_dummy_user(self.company, "staff", admin=True) self.client.force_login(self.user_staff.user) def test_adm_options_update(self): # Load company options page url = reverse("polls:adm_options", args=[self.company.comp_slug]) response = self.client.get(url) self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 200) self.assertContains(response, "0123456789") self.assertEqual(self.company.siret, "0123456789") # Options update response = self.client.post( reverse("polls:adm_options", args=[self.company.comp_slug]), {"siret": "987654321"} ) self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 200) self.assertContains(response, "987654321") self.assertNotContains(response, "0123456789") self.assertEqual(self.company.siret, "987654321") In this case, everything is OK but the latest assertion. … -

Python/Django app where urllib is blocked on Azure
I am very new to Azure, so please go easy on me here. I recently deployed a Python/Django app onto Azure. In the app, I use the Python library urllib to retrieve a file on the internet via its URL. I know the code is correct because the app works locally, but when I deploy it on Azure, the request is met by a 403 error which crashes the app: urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden Reading around, it seems that Azure blocks urllib requests. So, I created a custom Web App Firewall (WAF) policy where I disabled all firewall rules, and miraculously the app started working! This is obviously not a permanent solution, so I'm asking if someone can help with one of the following, any of which should solve my issue: Can someone tell me specifically which rule, from this Pastebin list, is the one blocking urllib requests? I can't find any documentation or description, beyond the short label, that explain what they do? Is there a way I can create a WAF exclusion for urllib requests? Is there an alternative to using urllib that doesn't run into Azure firewall issues? Once again, I am very new to how … -

how to create django model from json response
Im creating a django app which show some btc prices that I get then from a external api, my problem comes when the app is gonna load it need to always make a call to the api to show me data so it takes very long time for the app to load or even when i want to make some changes on the website the app needs to make a call to the api wait for the response so after that it can show me a data, My goal at this time it will be to save that json response into a Django model so the app wouldn't have to be calling the api all the time so the website will load faster. so my questions is which one it will be the best way to archive that? or how can i even try to do that?

How Django authentication flow works? [a particular case]
I am reading some code found on the Internet, and trying to make sense of it. I don't understand how authentication works here. Here is the code snippets. the root URLConf urlpatterns = [ path('admin/', admin.site.urls), path("", include("authentication.urls")), path("", include("app.urls")) ] Then if we look at authentication.urls, we will see this: urlpatterns = [ path('login/', login_view, name="login"), path('register/', register_user, name="register"), path("logout/", LogoutView.as_view(), name="logout") ] Somehow it ends at 'login/' and login_view handles it. I don't understand why? Ok, then if we open login_view: def login_view(request): form = LoginForm(request.POST or None) msg = None if request.method == "POST": if form.is_valid(): username = form.cleaned_data.get("username") password = form.cleaned_data.get("password") user = authenticate(username=username, password=password) if user is not None: login(request, user) return redirect("/") else: msg = 'Invalid credentials' else: msg = 'Error validating the form' return render(request, "accounts/login.html", {"form": form, "msg" : msg}) we can see that in case of successful authentication, it redirects to "/", which as I understand it, should create a loop. Because, when you go to http://localhost:8000 the first " ", include("authentication.urls")) will match it. And it all starts again. When and why "", include("app.urls") will match? When "", include("authentication.urls") matches, where does 'login/' come from? Redirecting to "/" in login_view() … -
statement failing under try
I'm absolutely baffled by this issue and was wondering if you could help out. This code works in my dev environment, but when I push it to my production server, the statement under 'try' fails and, despite this, the system doesn't even attempt the statement under 'except'. I've probably written 10,000 try/except statements and I've never seen anything like this. try: user_profile = Profile.objects.get(user=kwargs['instance']) except: user_profile = Profile.objects.create(user=kwargs['instance'], busemail=kwargs['instance'].email) Under what circumstances would the system not attempt to execute the except statement?

Typeahead Bloodhound Autocomplete using prefetch + remote when source is a dict from Django
Bloodhound variable for Typeahead that's working nicely: var egDjangoVar = new Bloodhound({ queryTokenizer: Bloodhound.tokenizers.whitespace, datumTokenizer: Bloodhound.tokenizers.obj.whitespace('value'), remote: { url: '/ajax/eg/%QUERY.json', wildcard: '%QUERY', filter: filterdata } }); We added dict parsing function filter: filterdata because Django requires JSON to be sent as a dict for security: function filterdata(data){ return $.map(data.results, function(results,index){ return results.value; }) } All works beautifully. We now want Prefetch functionality and have added: prefetch: { url: '/ajax/prefetch.json', wildcard: '%QUERY', filter: filterdata }, This doesn't work, despite '/ajax/prefetch.json' serving expected dict. We think it may be due to dataTokenizer issues discussed in this answer, but we don't understand why the tokenizer should differ between remote and prefetch sources, and the suggested datumTokenizer: function(d) { return Bloodhound.tokenizers.whitespace(d.value)}; didn't work when adding it as an argument of prefetch. We've found that __/ajax/prefetch.json__data in local storage is saved with dict keys matching values like {"datums":{"Apple":"Apple","Banana":"Banana","Orange":"Orange"},"trie":{"i":[],"c":{}}}, whereas the remote data directly viewed is like {"results": [{"value": "Apple"}, {"value": "Banana"}, {"value": "Orange"}]}. Is this unexpected? I'm new to front end / JS, so please forgive me if this is a stupid question. What are we doing wrong?
