How to provide user constant notification about Celery's Task execution status?
I integrated my project with celery in this way, inside views.py after receving request from the user def upload(request): if "POST" == request.method: # save the file task_parse.delay() # continue and in tasks.py from __future__ import absolute_import from celery import shared_task from uploadapp.main import aunit @shared_task def task_parse(): aunit() return True In short, the shared task will run a function aunit() from a third python file located in uploadapp/ directory named main.py. Let's assume that aunit() is a resource heavy process which takes time (like file parsing). As I integrated that with celery, It works totally asynchronously now which is good to me. So, the task start -> Celery process -> It finishes then celery set status to Finish. I can view that using flower . But what I want to do is that I want to notify the user who is using my app also through django UI that Your Task is done processing as soon as Celery has finished processing at back-side and set status to SUCCESS. Now, I know this is possible if : 1.) I constantly request the STATUS and see wheather it returns SUCCESS or not. How do I do that via Celery. How can ... -
MySQL and Python - "image not found" -- permanent fix?
Everytime I try to run a django app in terminal using a python manage.py runserver command I get the following error: Referenced from: /Users/myname/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/_mysql.so Reason: image not found. Did you install mysqlclient or MySQL-python? To fix it, I just paste export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mysql/lib/ into my terminal. How can I rearrange my files so that I don't have to paste this in every time? I am working on a Mac. -
Django rest framework posting expects dictionary
I am trying to post to my API with foreign key relationships. It's throwing me back an error saying it's expecting a dictionary as opposed to int for character and character_opponent. This is because the way my models are set up. They have foreign key relationships. The model in question looks like this: import uuid from django.db import models from django.utils import timezone from analysis.models import Analysis from characters.models import Character from stages.models import Stage class Match(models.Model): analysis = models.ForeignKey(Analysis, on_delete=models.CASCADE) character = models.ForeignKey(Character, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='character') character_won = models.BooleanField() character_opponent = models.ForeignKey(Character, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='character_opponent') character_opponent_won = models.BooleanField() created_at = models.DateTimeField(editable=False) id = models.UUIDField(primary_key=True, default=uuid.uuid4) updated_at = models.DateTimeField(editable=False) stage = models.ForeignKey(Stage, on_delete=models.CASCADE) def __str__(self): return '%s vs. %s on %s' % (self.character, self.character_opponent, self.stage) def save(self, *args, **kwargs): ''' On save, update timestamps ''' if not self.created_at: self.created_at = timezone.now() self.updated_at = timezone.now() return super(Match, self).save(*args, **kwargs) class Meta: db_table = "matches" And here is my serializer: from rest_framework import serializers from matches.models import Match from characters.serializers import CharacterSerializer from stages.serializers import StageSerializer class MatchSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): character = CharacterSerializer() character_opponent = CharacterSerializer() stage = StageSerializer() class Meta: model = Match fields = ('id', 'analysis', 'character', 'character_won', 'character_opponent', 'character_opponent_won', 'stage') Is there some ... -
how to validate a django formset of model forms when one of the objects has been deleted
I have a Django formset to record attendance at an event: AttendanceFormSet = modelformset_factory(Registration, form=AttendanceForm, extra=0) Created from this form: class AttendanceForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = Registration fields = ( "absent", "late", ) from this model: class Registration(models.Model): event = models.ForeignKey(Event) student = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE) # ... absent = models.BooleanField(default=False) late = models.BooleanField(default=False) However, sometimes attendees will drop the event, after the attendance form has already been loaded. I want to be able to handle these situations gracefully. During my form validation, how can I tell if the Registration object no longer exists? I've tried validating the forms individually, but the validation error doesn't seem helpful: if request.method =="POST": formset1 = AttendanceFormSet( request.POST, request.FILES, queryset=queryset, ) for form in formset1.forms: if form.is_valid(): form.save() else: print("form errors: " + str(form.errors)) The resulting error when this happens looks like this: form errors: <ul class="errorlist"><li>id<ul class="errorlist"><li>Select a valid choice. That choice is not one of the available choices.</li></ul></li></ul> -
How to send POST via AJAX when two jquery variables have been defined?
I'm guessing there's more than one error in this code - but the main thing I'm trying to figure out is how to send the AJAX when a condition is met - which is product and platform variables are defined and not null. With the following code - I think that line only gets evaluated once. I don't know if I need to add some type of listener or how this would work with jQuery. I am entirely new to jQuery. How do I adjust my code so that a POST is sent when platform and product are defined? Essentially what I'm wanting is for a user to be able to select a product via checkbox and a platform via another checkbox - and if these conditions are met send a POST with these params and accept the query results on return. html <H3>Product</H3> {% for product in products %} <input type="radio" name="{{ product }}"> {{ product }} <br> {% endfor %} <H3>Platform</H3> {% for platform in platforms %} <input type="radio" name="{{ platforms }}"> {{ platforms }} <br> {% endfor %} js <script> $(document).ready(function(){ $('input').iCheck({ checkboxClass: 'icheckbox_minimal-red', radioClass: 'iradio_minimal-red', increaseArea: '20%' // optional }); // if product has a checkmark ... -
Django timestamp
Is there a way to use the Django timestamp without using a model? I want to write the timestamp to a file. The reason I want to use the Django one and not datetime or time from python is because I already set the Time Zone for it in settings so it would be more convenient if I could just use that. -
Get Data from PostgreSQL to Django and display it in html
I have a table in PostgreSQL database that contains two columns ID and Name. I am using django framework to get the data from the database and I want to display the data into html page. The problem is that the retrieved data is without columns name. It looks like this, and in order to use it in the html page it has to have a key for each tuple. [(2, 'abc'), (3, 'subhi')] I've tried to get the columns name but they are only table columns without data. Below is my Code: models.py import psycopg2 import pprint def main(): conn_string = "host='localhost' dbname='music' user='postgres' password='subhi123'" column_names = [] data_rows = [] with psycopg2.connect(conn_string) as connection: with connection.cursor() as cursor: cursor.execute("select id, name from music") column_names = [desc[0] for desc in cursor.description] for row in cursor: data_rows.append(row) records = cursor.fetchall() # print out the records using pretty print # note that the NAMES of the columns are not shown, instead just indexes. # for most people this isn't very useful so we'll show you how to return # columns as a dictionary (hash) in the next example. pprint.pprint(records) print (type(records)) print("Column names: {}\n".format(column_names)) if __name__ == "__main__": main() views.py from ... -
sqlite3 Database not correctly configured in Django project
I'm currently continuing a django project on windows originally written by a mac user, and I am using the PyCharm IDE. I had a lot of trouble getting the database set up for the project (using the default sqlite3). My DATABASE settings are correct, and when I check the connection the the database when running manage.py shell it says that it is connected. The only issue is that every variable that is there to access data in the database is highlighted in red, which is typically a sign of an error in the JetBrains IDEs that I've worked with. I'm still able to host the site locally what could be the cause of this issue/error? I've a couple examples of what I mean below: example 1 example 2 -
Filter IF in FOR Django
I am developing an application in Django 2.0 of courses, each course contains modules, and obviously I have the users. model.py Class Course(models.Model): name = models.TextField() ..... Class Module(models.Model): name = models.TextField() containt = models.TextField() ..... Class UserCourse(models.Model): user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE) course = models.ForeignKey(Course, on_delete=models.CASCADE) flat = models.BooleanField(default=False) Class UserModule(models.Model): user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE) module = models.ForeignKey(Module, on_delete=models.CASCADE) When the user enters the module, the registry is created in the UserModule model to know that it has already entered the module. My idea is to show in the template all modules of the courses, but if the user has already made the module disable the option, otherwise allow to enter the module. views.py def course(request, idCourse): course = Course.objects.get(pk=idCourse) module = UserModule.objects.filter(user = User.objects.get(pk=request.user.id),module__course=course.id) return render(request, 'course.html',{'course':course,'module':module}) This query was sent to the course template {% for x in course.module_set.all %} {% if x in y module %} <i class="fa fa-check-circle"></i> {% else %} <a href="module"><i class="fa fa-check-circle"></i></a> {% endif %} {% endfor %} But unfortunately I do not get what I need to show the link if the module has not been done -
Getting Migrate Error on Model Field that doesn't exist

Passing dict through views
I have a view in which I create a dictionary, let's say: my_dict = {str(v): v*2 for v in range(2,8)} my_dict['Total'] = {'Tip': 'Reconsider life choices'} # bit of humour here >> {'2': 4, '3': 6, '4': 8, '5': 10, '6': 12, '7': 14, 'Total': {'Tip': 'Reconsider life choices'}} I pass it to my context dict as 'my_dict_json': json.dumps(my_dict). In my template, I reconstruct it with: <button id="btn_exp" type="button" class="btn btn-primary" onclick="sendDicts()"> <script> var d = JSON.parse('{{my_dict_json|safe}}'); // This is a function I bind to the onclick attr of a button function sendDicts(){ $.ajax({ url: '{% url 'my_model:intended_view' %}', type: 'POST', contentType: 'application/json', data: { 'my_dict': d, 'another_dict': d2 }, dataType: 'json' }); } </script> I'm not sure if it makes a difference but my intended view is decorated with @csrf_exempt, anyways, when I inspect (debug) the intended view, I notice that the request var has no data on it's POST and what seems to be the dictionaries are on request.body as a binary string with a lot of %s, if I try to use json.loads(request.body.decode()), it fails miserably with: JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0) What am I missing here? -
Django Rest Framework, Allow: POST not being set in generic view

Django rest framework add data to serializer

Calling Python CLI program from django views and displaying the results back asynchronously?
I have a django project having a web interface where you can upload files and after the upload is successful it calls the cli version of the software to process it and returns the result after it's successful execution Here, is a bit of snippet I use in my views.py from cliproject.main import clirunner # Some code for file upload and saving clirunner() This will run the command line python script main.py which is present inside cliproject/ directory and it will do some stuff and saves the output The problem is, this whole process is Synchronous at this moment. Hence, the user page loads after they upload the file from the UI and until it gets processed by Python CLI script behind the scenes. The flow is as Django UI | (User upload files) views.py gets request and saves it somewhere | (views run clirunner() to give python cli program control) cliproject runs | (After doing the stuff which is intended, it saves the output file) views.py resumes | (Reads the output file) Django UI displays the output file So, we can see the problem here that I am calling a different CLI program from views.py to do the stuff ... -
