Django Multiple Database - Duplicate tables in default
I have a Django Application with two database. Even with routers, subapp tables are written in default DB. SubApp DB has only its own table. In core.models Im not define the appl_label In subapp models.py for every class, I define the app_label SubApp models.py class MyModel ... ... class Meta: app_label = 'subapp_name' db_table = 'my_model' In default settings I have defined the routing: DATABASE_ROUTERS = ["core.routers.DefaultRouter" , "subapp.routers.SubAppRouter"] In subapp router in allow_migrate, I have this: def allow_migrate(self, db, app_label, model_name = None, **hints): if app_label == 'subapp_name' and db == 'subapp_name': return True return None This works well. In SubApp Database I only have MyModel table and a DjangoMigration table (this one has all migrations rows, even from default modules). This is the allow_migrate in DefaultRouter: def allow_migrate(self, db, app_label, model_name = None, **hints): route_app_labels = { "admin", "auth", "contenttypes", "core", "sessions" } if app_label in self.route_app_labels: return db == "default" return None Unfortunally, subapp MyModel is create in default database too but subapp is not inside route_app_labels. Why is this happening? -

But the folder 'media' is in the root directory. Although I'm not sure that the problem is in this. Interesting fact is that if I manually write the way to the image from static folder (static folder is also localed in apps directory) it will work.

Django Paginator with bulk_update only updates odd pages
I have a two tables that have around 1M rows and in one of them, I've added a new migration that adds two new columns to one of them and that requires some computation to add their values. What I did was a command that fetches all rows in that table, and use Paginator with a chunk size of 1000, and after adding the new values, I perform the bulk_update. The problem is that only the odd pages are updated, the even ones stay with the null value. I start with 1000 pages to update, then I need to run again only to update 500 pages, and so on. I've also tested with chunks of 10, and the problem persists. Is there something wrong with this code? def add_values_to_columns(foo): foo.col1=... foo.col2=... class Command(BaseCommand): def handle(self, *args, **options): try: queryset = Foo.objects.all() \ .filter(col1__isnull=True, col2__isnull=True) \ .order_by("id") \ .select_related("bar") chunk_size = 1000 paginator = Paginator(queryset, chunk_size) pages = paginator.page_range number_pages = pages[-1] for page_number in pages: page = paginator.page(page_number) updated_rows = [] for foo in page.object_list: add_values_to_columns(foo) updated_rows.append(foo) Foo.objects.bulk_update(updated_rows, ["col1", "col2"]) except Exception as e: self.stdout.write(e) -

Can not configure postgres database in GitHub actions pipeline using Docker
I am creating pipeline for my Django Project with GitHub actions and can't make it working correctly. As I use docker, when I start the Docker and start my tests with 'python manage.py test' it works correctly. But when my tests are started I get an error. The reason is probably is that it does not know how to connect to DB, as Docker works with that in my case. I tried to use github secrets, but it seems that it does not work.

Semantic-ui multiple How about customizing the display?
I have created a multi-selection dropdown box, but I don't want it to increase by one every time I click on it.

toggle table row based on unchecked checkbox
Not super familiar with frontend, but I have 4 checkboxes I'm using to filter table data. Any number of them can be selected at once. What I want to accomplish: get all unchecked boxes if no boxes are checked pass (meaning don't hide any rows) if a box is checked, for any box that is NOT checked, exclude the row associated with that unchecked box This is for a Django app and the table row id is being generated via database query. The table will have max 100 rows. Per the query I'm executing, any table row will be either: id="audio", id="video", id="writing", id="games" HTML: <div> <input type="checkbox" value="music" id="music_filter"> <input type="checkbox" value="video" id="video_filter"> <input type="checkbox" value="writing" id="writing_filter"> <input type="checkbox" value="games" id="games_filter"> </div> <table class="table"> <thead> <tr> <th>Col 1</th> <th>Col 2</th> </tr> </thead> {% for i in query_set %} <tbody> <tr id="{{i.media_type}}"> <td>{{some data}}</td> <td>{{some other data}}</td> </tr> </tbody> I have jQuery loaded via CDN in the html file and trying this: JQUERY/JS: $(document).ready(function(){ $('#music_filter', '#video_filter', '#writing_filter', '#games_filter').on('click',function(){ var notChecked = $("input:checkbox:not(:checked)"); if (notChecked.length > 0) { for (let i = 0; i < notChecked.length; i++) { $('#i').toggle(); }; }; }); }); A little help to see my mistake(s)?

How to change related object when creating object in DRF
I want to change is_available field in Book object when reservation is being create.

I am working on asserting that a pdf is returned from my request. Here is what my test looks like so far. @mock.patch('path.to.class._get_file', return_value=MockResponse(status.HTTP_200_OK, 'application/pdf')) def test_get_should_successfully_return_the_requested_pdf(self, get_file_mock): response = self.client.get(f'/api/v1/path/to/file/abc123.pdf, content_type='application/vnd.api+json') self.assertEqual(response.status_code, status.HTTP_200_OK) # works great self.assertEqual(response['Content-Type'], 'application/pdf') # works great self.assertEqual(response, <abc123.pdf>) # not so great If I do a print to see whats in the response: print(response) <HttpResponse status_code=200, "application/pdf" I am pretty sure I am not setting up the @patch correctly. Specifically, this: status.HTTP_200_OK, 'application/pdf' I've seen a lot of posts about reading or opening files, but I just need to make sure it was in fact a pdf (file) that was returned. How can I set my mock up so that I can assert a pdf (file) was returned?
