Django -- use some production data in test database
My project is using Django's test database framework (w/ and w/o Selenium) and it's been working well for several years, with a few read-only tests on the production database (mostly integrity tests that our DB can't enforce) but with the vast majority being R/W on the test database. We have one model/table on the production database that provides important metadata for the site which is getting too big to code into the fixtures, and which we would like to see current values for in our tests. I would love our setUp() code to be able to do something like: def setUp(self): with self.activate_production_database(): metadata_info = MetadataTable.objects.values_list( 'title', flat=True) # back to test_database MetadataTable.objects.bulk_create([MetadataTable(title=t) for t in metadata_info]) I'm wondering what, if anything, exists that is like the with self.activate_production_database() line? -
How to implement models of product in relation with order and orderitem
I am creating a multivendor ecommerce website in django i want when a person make an order he can add multiple items that belong to multiple vendors so when the order get proceded each vendor will have the items from the order that are specific to him and he can call the person who ordered then (wanna make it simple) am encountering the issue im my modelisation i don't know how to set the model for the order (who should have a list of ordered items each item is linked to the product specific to that item along with the quantity that the person is ordering so the order item class is linked with onetoone relation with product and the order is linked to order item with ontomany relationship when i create it i get this error : ERRORS: Store.OrderItem.product: (fields.E300) Field defines a relation with model 'Product', which is either not installed, or is abstract.

Django load template tags with if else conditions
The problem seems very simple, yet I can't fix it. Look at below two examples. Both give me TemplateSyntaxError.(separately) While only one should give an error. Why is that? (there is no template tag called aa) You can check this by putting one at a time into the template. it seems Django load template tag runs wherever it was put(except comment tag) . {% if "4" == "3" %} {% else %} {% load aa %} {% endif %} {% if "4" == "3" %} {% load aa %} {% else %} {% endif %} -

What is the django-method of fetching the instance in a OneToOneField, accesed from a ManyToManyRelatedManager?
I was wondering what is the most django correct way of fetching the instance in an OneToOneField, when the instance I'm fetching from is accessed through a ManyToManyRelatedManager? Specifically, I have a CustomGroup model that has a OneToOneField to auth.Group. Then I want to fetch each CustomGroup instance from the user instance, through the groups manager. These are my models: from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser, Group from django.db import models class CustomGroup(models.Model): group = models.OneToOneField(Group, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name="custom_group") class CustomUser(AbstractUser): # my custom fields I would like to have a get_custom_groups method on the CustomUser model that returns a RelatedManager with the base queryset as all the CustomGroup that this user is related to (much like user.groups, but only with CustomGroup as the model). What I have usually done is something like this: def get_custom_groups(self): custom_group_ids = self.groups.all().values_list("custom_group", flat=True) return CustromGroup.objects.filter(id__in=custom_group_ids) Is this the best way of doing this, or is there another, smarter way? -
Django (daphne, channels_redis) websocket disconnecting due to group_expiry after 24 hours
I'm currently doing a django project where I need to be constantly connected to websockets. For the websockets I am using daphne server and channels_redis (with redis server). I'm having the problem that after 24 hours clients disconnect from the websockets due to group_expiry. Is there any way to set this group_expiry parameter of channels_redis to infinity, that would prevent the deletion of groups? Or is there some mechanism to restore the group (channel layers) connection? Thank you in advance for the answer I tried setting the group_expiry parameter to -1, which for daphne meant infinity for websocket_timeout. Unfortunately, this doesn't help -

Where should I store a bunch of strings I intend on using in a single feature (for a short amount of time)?
I have a (relatively) big and complex (Django) app with multiple database tables. Now, I'm building the landing page of a new feature that includes a section where are displayed 3 random sentences from a collection of 10 predefined strings. I want to be able to update and change these strings without having to rebuild and redeploy the app each time. Should I create another table in the database just to store this data or are there other ways to do it (properly)? -

Passing Django Usernames to Streamlit
I'm working on a project using Django for user authentication and Streamlit for the front end. I'm struggling to fetch the authenticated user's information from Django and pass it to my Streamlit app. How can I efficiently retrieve user data from Django and securely transfer it to Streamlit? Any guidance or code examples for this integration would be appreciated. Thanks! Attempted to establish communication between Django and Streamlit by creating an endpoint in Django to fetch user information. I expected to retrieve the authenticated user's data from Django and then use an HTTP request in Streamlit to fetch this data from the Django endpoint. However, I encountered difficulties in properly implementing this communication and handling the data transfer securely between the two platforms.

How can I avoid this Numpy ArrayMemoryError when using scikit-learn's DictVectorizer on my data?
