Django how to check for empty value in field?
I am trying to get the set of objects which have no value for the field units The only way I can find to do this on the internet is by using objects.filter(units__exact = '') but this does not work for me as my field units is of type int, so I get a type error. How would I check for empy units field? -
Django union with annotate of 3 tables The used SELECT statements have a different number of columns

Issue in using Bidi library in Python Django template
I'm using a table in the template in which some columns have both LTR and RTL strings. I'm using django-bidi-utils 1.0 library as follow: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1"> <title>{% block title %}CFP List{% endblock %}</title> {% load i18n %}<html dir="{{ LANGUAGE_BIDI|yesno:"rtl,ltr" }}"> {% block styles %} <link rel="stylesheet" href="/style/table.css" /> {% endblock %} </head> <body> {% block content %} {% load bidiutils_tags %} <table style="border-collapse: collapse; float:right"> <tr> <th style="border: 1px solid black; text-overflow: ellipsis; max-width : 500px;">System Addition Time</th> <th style="border: 1px solid black; text-overflow: ellipsis; max-width : 500px;">Student Name</th> <th style="border: 1px solid black; text-overflow: ellipsis; max-width : 500px;">Father Name</th> <th style="border: 1px solid black; text-overflow: ellipsis; max-width : 200px;">Student Number</th> </tr> {% for item in data_list%} <tr> <td style="border: 1px solid black; text-overflow: ellipsis; max-width : 500px;" align="center">{{item.std_add_date}}</td> <td style="border: 1px solid black; text-overflow: ellipsis; max-width : 500px;" align="right">{{item.std_name|add_direction:"rtl_only"}}</td> <td style="border: 1px solid black; text-overflow: ellipsis; max-width : 500px;" align="right">{{item.std_father_number}}</td> <td style="border: 1px solid black; text-overflow: ellipsis; max-width : 200px;">{{item.std_number}}</td> </tr> {% endfor %} </table> {% endblock %} </body> </html> I've also added bidi in INSTALLED_APPS and TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS, but the result is not changed from the normal situation and without bidi library. -
Update Environment Variables
I'm in the process of porting my local django app to heroku and am hitting a snag. Mainly with my environment variables. I can't very well create a .env file on my webserver, it would just get overwritten when I push from github again. So I've set environment variables using heroku config:set VAR='' --app <app>. These seem to work, however, I'm working with an API that requires I refresh my token every 60 min. Locally, I developed a method to update my .env every time the task that refreshed this token was executed, but this solution clearly isn't sufficient for my web server...I've attempted to update server-level variables in Python, but I don't think that's possible. Has anyone had to deal with an issue like this? Am I approaching this all wrong? What is the best way for me to update an environment variable on a web server (ie heroku config:set VAR='' --app <app> but in my python code)? I need this variable to update every 60 minutes (I already have the celery task code built for this). Should I modify the task to simply write it to a text file and use that text file as my "web server … -
Django cant connect to mongoDB atlas
Recently I started a project to make a Webserver using a Django backend with and a mongoDB database hosted on their Atlas platform so i don't have to worry about running it locally. Im still in the early stages of setting it up and encountered the this error: pymongo.errors.ServerSelectionTimeoutError: localhost:27017: [WinError 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it It might also be relevant to mention that i currently have no documents on the database or models in the form of Django apps, but I doubt that this is the probelm as when i run manage.py migrate i get the above error and not a "no app with label" error. My database config in my settings.py currently looks like this: DATABASES = { 'default': { 'ENGINE': 'djongo', 'NAME': 'house-project', 'HOST': 'mongodb+srv://<my-user-name>:<my-password>@house-project-9g5fo.gcp.mongodb.net/test?retryWrites=true&w=majority' } } I know that one of the common errors is having special characters in your password and username, i have made sure not to include any or escape them with hex characters. I have made sure to add my ip and user on the Atlas side. I have checked online for an exiting answer, to no avail. The closest question i found was: … -
channels get url parameter without spaces
Hi i'm fiddling with django-channels 2 and want to grab the URL parameter and use it in a function, but it seems like it contains a space or something similiar which causes issues with my function. My function takes 1 argument but when I try to pass the URL parameter in it gives me the following error task_status() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given. I can see when I try to print the URL it prints the correct value but a new line is also created. Is there any way to grab ONLY the URL parameter and be able to use it directly in a function? consumers.py class ChatConsumer(AsyncConsumer): async def websocket_connect(self, event): await self.send({ "type": "websocket.accept" }) user = self.scope['user'] get_task_id = self.scope['url_route']['kwargs']['task_id'] print(get_task_id) get_info = await self.task_status(get_task_id) print(get_info) await self.send({ "type": "websocket.send", "text": "hey" }) async def websocket_receive(self, event): print("receive", event) async def websocket_disconnect(self, event): print("disconnected", event) def task_status(task_id): command = "golemcli tasks show {}".format(task_id) taskoutput = subprocess.getoutput(command) print(taskoutput) routing.py from django.urls import re_path from . import consumers websocket_urlpatterns = [ re_path(r'ws/dashboard/task/(?P<task_id>[0-9a-f-]+)', consumers.ChatConsumer), ] website URL http://localhost:8000/dashboard/task/aa3c6c12-5446-11ea-b237-1e0f691c9a55 -
Check if Model is a Foreign key of another Model in Django
I would like to find out if Account has a Foreign Key to Profile. This is what I tried: def check_if_model_has_one_to_many_relationship(account_model, profile_model) for foreign_key_model in profile_model._meta.get_all_related_objects(): if f'{account_model._meta.model_name}_set' == foreign_key_model.get_accessor_name(): return True return False And I think it works, but I'm trying to see if there is something built in? -
Fundamentals question: Django + Python Virtual Env + pyCharm and CLI -- are two separate virtual environments required?
Bottom Line: I can get everything to work by configuring two separate virtual environments, one for pyCharm and one for the CLI. Is this really necessary or should I be able to use 1 virtual environment for both as I expected? More Detailed explanation: I'm very new so this is probably a facepalm type of question so i'll try to be terse. I'm using Linux Mint, Python 3.6, django 3.0.3, and pyCharm 2019.3.1. I can create a virtual env using venv in the cli and it works. I can also create a NEW virtual env in pyCharm through the settings: Project: Interpreter interface, and it works, however it doesn't have venv as an option, it only has virtualenv. But if I try to activate the virtual env i created in pyCharm from the cli (using virtualenv of course, not venv), it fails hard and thinks i'm using python 2.7 which isn't even installed on my system. If it try to point pyCharm at the virtual env I setup on the cli, I get an error 134. Is this just a known/expected issue? Must I have two virtual environments for every project I want to access via both pyCharm AND the … -
Django imagekit 'SafeString' object has no attribute 'name'
I'm currently trying to process an image using django-imagekit in my project. I'm quite new to the package, so I'm trying to implement a simple processor that converts the image to grayscale. I followed some samples from the docs. I decided to use spec, which I've included in models.py.

Django restricting drag and drop based on database conditions
hopefully I can make this clear: I have javascript code that allows for drag and drop functionailty of my website. I need the drop to only be allowed if certain objects from my database are not all ready on the div. To do this I would need to query the DB. But, apperantly we cannot query django DB using templating language, so I am not sure how to do this. Specific use case: I have course objects and a prerequestie realation that shows which courses a prerequistie for other courses. I want to be able to drop the course on the planner only if all the courses prerequites are already on the planner. So I would need to query the courses prerequistes to see if any are in the planner already. would I need to use something like AJAX for this? When I first started with django I thought I would be able to use its template tags to do this but they dont seem to work well with querying or with javascript -
Django's collectstatic ignores a folder in Heroku environment
I'm building a Django+Vue monolith and the release pipeline I'm trying to achieve supposes building the Vue frontend into the static folder of a Django app, running collectstatic and starting the server. Static files are served via WhiteNoise. It works perfectly on my machine. The built folder ends up in the collected static files destination and its contents get nicely served: → But when hosted on Heroku, everything else gets collected except for this built on the fly folder, it just doesn't end up in the staticfiles even though it's present in the static folder of the app. I made sure that the order of execution was correct and even ran collectstatic manually after ensuring that the folder was successfully built. As you may have noticed, I have this folder in .gitignore, but I've tried removing it from there to no avail. What could be the reason for such a strange behavior? p.s. Setting DEBUG to True and serving static files through Django's development server results in a working application, which once again proves the files are in their correct places. -
Celery tasks are executed by different program binaries
I have a Django web application that executes tasks via celery. It is run with a combination of Apache, uWSGI, and Redis. For some reason, one of the tasks is being executed by the uWSGI server and the other is executed by the Python interpreter. This is causing permissions issues as uWSGI doesn't run as the same user as Python does. What could cause the tasks to be run by different programs? Is there a setting somewhere? -

How to break '302 0 loop' in django
I know that this topic has already appeared on the forum many times, but somehow none of the previously mentioned methods to solve the problem does not work. The problem is, at least it seems to me that the application has fallen into a kind of loop by which it adds double values to the database.

My setups is as follows: I have an excel template which I make a copy of using shutil2 I then open the copy using load_workbook() in openpyxl I populate the workbook with data I then (as per the openpyxl docs) save the workbook as a stream and save it as an httpresponse object to be returned to my website through django with NamedTemporaryFile() as tmp: wb.save(tmp.name) tmp.seek(0) stream = tmp.read() response = HttpResponse(content=stream, content_type="application/ms-excel") # I've also tried with application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename=Excel.xls' return response In my template I have some jquery code which downloads the excel for the user. This is done following the answer from this question: Get excel file (.xlsx) from server response in ajax This all works fine, but the resulting download file is corrupt and while I am expecting it to be around 7mb in size, its actually 16mb.

How to mock a model method from unittesting a django view?
I am trying to mock a downstream function call in order to get my unittest for a DRF view to pass. I have a create() method location in a model, that is calling an external upload_files() function. I am trying to figure out how to mock upload_files() from a view unit test Since the view calls the serializer, and the serializer calls the model, I need to figure out the correct namespacing in order to mock the path. Here is my code which shows what I'm TRYING to do, however I think, the path being passed to mock.patch is incorrect. Receiving this error when I run the unittest ERROR: test_post (tests.api.views.test_stage_execution_view.StageExecutionViewTest) ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'myapp.models.stage_execution.StageExecution'; 'myapp.models.stage_execution' is not a package unittesting a view from a drf api: # myapp/tests/api/views/test_stage_execution_view.py class StageExecutionViewTest(APITestCase): @mock.patch('myapp.models.stage_execution.StageExecution.create.upload_files', side_effect=mocked_upload_files) def setUp(self, arg): self.stage_execution = StageExecution.manager.create( stage="test", job_execution="test", time_start="2018-12-20T12:05:00.258797-08:00", ) @mock.patch('myapp.models.stage_execution.StageExecution.create.upload_files', side_effect=mocked_upload_files) def test_post(self): start_stage_execution_payload = {"bla"} response = self.client.post( "/api/v2/stage_execution", start_stage_execution_payload, format="json" ) assert response.status_code == 201 models: #myapp/models/stage_execution.py class StageExecution(JsonableModel): stage = models.CharField(max_length=150, blank=True, null=True) job_execution = models.CharField(max_length=150, blank=True, null=True) time_start = models.DateTimeField() class StageExecutionManager(models.Manager): def get_queryset(self): return StageExecutionQuerySet(self.model, using=self._db) def create(self, **kwargs): from myapp.tasks import upload_files upload_files() serializer: # myapp/api/serializers/stage_execution_serializer.py class StageExecutionSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): class …
