Include sensitive environment variables to AWS EB Django app
I am deploying a django app to AWS Elastic Beanstalk and initially I am defining my environment variable in .ebextensions/django.config Some of those variable are sensitive and I don't want to push them to Git, so I want to encapsulate those variables in a single file (for example: .env) that will not be pushed to Git. Plan A: A way to include .env in my config file, but I didn't find a way to do it supposedly like: option_settings: aws:elasticbeanstalk:application:environment: include .env aws:elasticbeanstalk:container:python: WSGIPath: mydjangoapp.wsgi:application Cons: The environment variables are shown as plain text in AWS console at Elastic Beanstalk > Environments > my-environment > Configuration > Environment properties, although I know the fact that they are only readable by the authorised AWS users who have permission to it. Pros: Ability to update only and directly the environment variables from AWS console without requiring new deployment. Plan B: Remove the sensitive variables at all from my config file and load the .env file from my django app itself. Cons: If I want to update any of those variables, I have to deploy a new version of my application. Although .env file will not pushed to Git and it can be … -
AWS access key is showing up in browser url when accessing the s3 content from heroku
I have deployed my django app to heroku and using Amazon s3 bucket to store the static files and I see there is no issues in getting the data from the s3 to the heroku. But, when I'm testing to see the content storage location i'm getting the url path in addition with the AccesskeyID https://myapp.s3.amazonaws.com/img/front_cover.JPG?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAXPKPZLYKLRB7DR4N&Signature=JzTU0DpmbGSBRpYHwV8Dvt0p1QQ%3D&Expires=1590936351 So I'm concerned up showing up access id in the browser URl, do we have an option to disable this in heroku or django settings or in AWS -
create or edit models and tables dynamically based on user input from a form outside admin panel
I am new to python django and I wanted to ask if there is a suggested way to create an app with ui for the users to be able to create tables on database with models dynamically. So basically I want the user to fill in the table name and desired column names with types on a form and create them dynamically when they hit submit button. this is for an internal application where we do not want to use the admin panel for implementing it as admin panel will have other elements needed. any advise or examples shared to take a look and learn along the road building would be a huge help. Thank you so much for all the support. -
Django model's save method is not called when creating objects in test
I am trying to test one of my application's model Book that has a slug field. I have a custom save function for it, like below. models.py class Book(models.Model): title = models.CharField(max_length=50) slug = models.SlugField(max_length=50, unique=True) def save(self, *args, **kwargs): if not self.slug: slug = slugify(self.title, allow_unicode=True) return super(Book, self).save(*args, **kwargs) To test this, I created the following test.py class BookModelTests(TestCase): @classmethod def setUpTestData(cls): Book.objects.create(title="Book One") def test_get_absolute_url(self): book = Book.objects.get(pk=1) self.assertEquals(book.get_absolute_url(), '/books/book-one/') But when I run the test, it fails with django.urls.exceptions.NoReverseMatch: Reverse for 'book-detail' with arguments '('',)' not found. 1 pattern(s) tried: ['books/(?P<book_slug>[-a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/$']. Why is slug empty? Why is the save method not called? What am I missing? -

Django nested transactions and exceptions
For simplicity I have a nested atomic transaction in my code, basically if adding people to the movie fails (see first for loop) I'd like to display an exception specifically saying that this action failed and also roll back movie.save(), same for studios (see second for loop). But for some reason when either one fails movie.save() doesn't roll back, I get a movie saved in my database without any people or studios attached to it. people = ['Mark', 'John', 'Mark'] studios = ['Universal Studios', 'Longcross Studios'] try: with transaction.atomic(): movie = Movie(title=title, description=summary, pub_date=pub_date) movie.save() # iterate through people list, get the pk from database and add it to the movie try: with transaction.atomic(): for p in people: person = Person.objects.get(name=p) movie.people.add(person) except Person.DoesNotExist: self.stdout.write(self.style.ERROR('One or more performers from %s does not ' 'exist in database, please add them and ' 'rerun the command.' % str(people))) continue # iterate through studio list, get the pk from database and add it to the movie try: with transaction.atomic(): for s in studios: studio = Studio.objects.get(name=s) scene.studios.add(studio) except Studio.DoesNotExist: self.stdout.write(self.style.ERROR('One or more studios from %s does not ' 'exist in database, please add them and ' 'rerun the command.' % str(studios))) continue scene.save() … -

Change empty list returned by values_list to None without QS evaluation, Django orm
I have a question about query optimization. I the serializer specified bellow, in to_representation method I add extra data to representation. In this string: data['slave_accounts_ids'] = instance.slaves.all().values_list('pk', flat=True) or None I add secondary model instances pks in form of list, but it might be no any secondary model instances attached to the primary model(User model), so that I get empty list []. Thing is that in this case I need to return to FE None instead of [] and becouse of that I filter [] by condition expression : instance.slaves.all().values_list('pk', flat=True) or None which seems to evaluate queryset to find out whether or not first value is empty or not, at least if compare instance.slaves.all().values_list('pk', flat=True) and instance.slaves.all().values_list('pk', flat=True) or None, later makes +1 number of queries in DB. Question is - is it possible somehow change emty list returned by values_list to None without evaluating queryset and making extra query to DB? Or provide some default maybe...

Django/PostgreSQL: How to get PostgreSQL hint using django.db.connections and the cursor() function
I am using Django for my app backend. Due to a legacy database, I had to write custom helper functions that execute raw SQL queries. I have this particular rollback function that I wrote and I want to be able to get the RAISE EXCEPTION USING HINT that was generated by the supplied query.

How to override Django Admin Panel authentication with Google SSO?
What I want is to create some users in the standard Users table and add a Sign in with Google button on the Django Admin Panel login screen. When the user completes the sign-in process, then I should receive its details (e.g. email address) which then I will verify from the database, e.g. if a Users record with given email address exists. If yes, then I will sign-in the user on the Django Admin Panel. Is there a way to do this? -
