Django read choices from a database table
I have an api that accepts requests of the form { "name": "John" "year": "2021" "product":"mask" } I would like to check if the product value is present in a list and reject or accept the request. Furthermore I need to be able to update the values of that list. Right now I am using django choices to implement the above but the prblem is that the list values are hardcoded. from django.db import models class Order(models.Model): product_choices = [ ('mask', 'Mask'), ('mask2', 'Mask1'), ('mask3', 'Mask2'), ('', 'Nothing') ] name = models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=False) year = models.CharField(max_length=4, blank=False) crop = models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=False, choices=crop_choices, default=crop_choices[-1][0]) Is there something I can do? -
'dict' object has not attribute 'pk' when using Django bulk_update()
I have the following code: obj = Products.objects.filter(dump__product_name = 'ABC, dump__product_color = 'black').values() new_price = [100, 200, 300] for item in range(len(obj)): obj[item]['price'] -= new_price[item] Products.objects.filter(dump__product_name = 'ABC, dump__product_color = 'black').bulk_update(obj, ['price']) But I am getting the error, Exception inside application: 'dict' has no attribute 'pk' The value of obj looks like this: <QuerySet [{'id': 1, 'product_name': 'Acer - Laptop', 'price': 350}, {'id': 1, 'product_name': 'Dell - Laptop', 'price': 450}, {'id': 1, 'product_name': 'Samsung- Laptop', 'price': 650}]> I am unable to figure out what's wrong with the code. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance -
MongoDB doesn't work locally because of SRV error (no answer)
Situation We are working on the backend of our project consisting of two services written in Django and FastAPI. Both services use MongoDB as their database system. In Django we use djongo==1.3.0 for ORM compatibility. In FastAPI we use odmantic==0.3.4. Both of these libraries use pymongo==3.11.3 underneath. This MongoDB SRV error has been an issue for our Django service ever since we created it, but we managed to somehow work around it by not using the latest packages, such as: Django==2.2.20 djongo==1.3.0 pymongo==3.11.3 Recently due to security risks we had to upgrade: urllib3 from 1.25.8 to 1.26.5 pydantic from 1.8.1 to 1.8.2 Django from 2.2.20 to 2.2.22 Those were suggested by GitHub's dependabot. Problem When we run any of these services locally now they break with the following base exception: dns.resolver.NoAnswer: The DNS response does not contain an answer to the question: _mongodb._tcp.cluster0.k1eh0.mongodb.net.

Django mark_safe and translation
I'm trying to test mark_safe and translation in a Django form. I've added style in help_text of a field in a form by adding mark_safe and everything works as expected. However i cannot figure out how to translate. For example i have: help_text=mark_safe(_('<p style="font-style:Italic; font-size:10px;">Enter your first name</p>')) If i run makemessages inside .po file i see the whole string as '<p style="font-style:Italic; font-size:10px;">Enter your first name</p>')) for translation. Is there any way so i can keep the style and also translate Enter your first name? Thank you! -

Authenticating with DRF API key in unit tests return error: "Authentication credentials were not provided"
After recently discovering (and loving!) test driven development, I've started working on an API for a project of mine using Django with Django REST Framework and Django REST Framework API Key. However, I'm getting stuck trying to unit test some basic API functionality: every time I attempt to do a GET request to the API, it returns a 403: "Authentication credentials were not provided." Which is odd; I am adding the credentials in the header of the request before I send it off. When I print out the header of the RequestsClient, I am getting this result: {'User-Agent': 'python-requests/2.25.1', 'Accept-Encoding': 'gzip, deflate', 'Accept': '*/*', 'Connection': 'keep-alive', 'X-Api-Key': 'ADtIa4s9.joEWAwZH47uowolz60c1hYnskVujO8lQ'} Should work... yet for some reason my code will not see it.

DjangoREST APIView - different url params for different methods
I got a DjangoREST APIView that supports Read and Create operations. Something like this: class FirebaseUser(APIView): ... get(request): ... post(request): ... urls.py: ... path('user/', views.FirebaseUser.as_view()), ... I need an API that would accept a read request with user id as url param GET .../api/user/<userId> But for create operation there's no user ID yet and I need something like this POST .../api/user/ What is the best way to make my APIView treat url params differently depending on method? -
Django graphene JWT on multiple users

Django filter using time lookup doesn't work as expected
I want to filter the objects according to time only, regardless of the date part. Django has the time lookup for datetime fields, but when I use it the value is converted to the current timezone before filtering is done (this is mentioned on the official Django doc). For example, I have these sample records on PostgreSQL db (these are all in UTC): name datetime entry1 2021-04-03 11:00:00 entry2 2021-05-05 12:00:00 entry3 2021-05-06 12:00:00 entry4 2021-06-06 14:00:00 And with this model I want to get the all objects that have the datetime starting from 12:00 onwards, I use the query with the time lookup (and considering that USE_TZ=True): class Entry(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=100) datetime = models.DateTimeField() >>> Entry.objects.filter(datetime__time_gte=datetime.time(12, 0)) I am expecting that the output would return the objects entry2, entry3 and entry4, but the actual response only returned entry4, which is +2 hours the filter value and the local timezone I have, which follows what was explained by the doc. This is the problem I've been experiencing, and so far I don't have any way over it. How can I filter the objects according to time only, without being affected by time lookups conversion i.e. conserve the filter value? -
Django post save function not able to save role id in profile model

django-moderation trying to get unmoderated items to use in a view
I am using Django 3.2 and Django Moderation 0.7. According to the documentation, the attribute unmoderated_objects is a ModelManager which returns unmoderated objects. From the documentation: YourModel.unmoderated_objects.get(pk=your_model.pk) I am writing a view to allow me to list unmoderated items: /path/to/views.py class FooModerationQueueList(ListView): http_method_names = ['get'] model = Foo context_object_name = 'unmoderated_foos_list' def get_queryset(self): return self.model.unmoderated_objects.all() However, when I run the code above - the queryset returns the list of ALL objects (unmoderated AND moderated). Is there a way to fetch/return only unmoderated objects? Note: I am using my local version of django-manage) since the current version doesn't work with Django 3.2. I made minor changes such as removing references to six library, and removing previous migrations and making them again etc. (i.e. nothing that should result in the current strange behaviour). -
django app on ubuntu nginx not serving static files or media files

Django Rest Mocking a Get request
I have a viewset for services and an action method defined as: @action( methods=['patch'], detail=True, url_name='deploy', url_path='deploy') def deploy(self, request, pk=None): """ An extra action for processing requests """ # Gets current instance instance = self.get_object() [...] # Sends GET request get = APIServiceRequestRouter() item_list = get.get_data_request() My get_data_request() method will send a get request to a url, which will return a json response. But of course, this goes out to a third-party api, which I want to mock in my unit test. I have this unit test for my deploy action endpoint on my viewset: def test_valid_deploy(self) -> None: """Test an valid deploy""" mock_request response = self.client.patch( reverse('services-deploy', kwargs={'pk': self.service2.pk}), data=json.dumps(self.deploy_payload), content_type='application/json' ) self.assertEqual(response.status_code, status.HTTP_206_PARTIAL_CONTENT) What I'm not sure is how to add a mocked get response into this unit test. The error I'm getting when I run my unit tests is that in my test_valid_deploy is that the get_data_request() method I have this: response = http_get_request.delay(api_url) response_obj = response.get() item_ids = response_obj['item_id'] But of course response_obj is empty or of NoneType and therefore the ['item_id'] key does not exist, I get a TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable error.
