django 2.0 file(view) changes does not effect in frontend
In my django 2.0 application, when I change something in view, it does not effect in frontend even closing the server by ctrl+c or ctrl+z. I am using windows. It works when I manually close python process from task manager. It's not good process to code and restarting server each time in development. If I have a simple HttpResponse of string like return HttpResponse('test') and changes the string(test) to any thing, it does not show the updated string, instead it shows test. How to overcome this, any idea will be appreciated. Thanks -
Testing Uploaded File Django
I m working on an Upload file example in Django. The user uploads a file, and I need to run a test on that file (compiling..) and launch a python script using that file. But I don't knw how to keep track of the uploaded file to use it. Here is my views.py from django.shortcuts import render from django.template import RequestContext from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect from django.urls import reverse from myproject.myapp.models import Document from myproject.myapp.forms import DocumentForm def list(request): # Handle file upload if request.method == 'POST': form = DocumentForm(request.POST, request.FILES) if form.is_valid(): newdoc = Document(docfile=request.FILES['docfile']) newdoc.save() # Redirect to the document list after POST return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('list')) else: form = DocumentForm() # A empty, unbound form # Load documents for the list page documents = Document.objects.all() # Render list page with the documents and the form return render( request, 'list.html', {'documents': documents, 'form': form} ) -
fp.write writes extra newlines to file
So I have a form in Django, where user inputs some text. Then I write this text to a file. My views.py looks something like this: if request.method == "POST": code = request.POST.get('code', False) fp = open('mp/somefile.txt', 'w') fp.write(code) fp.close() However this causes extra newline characters. (I am using windows) for example aaaaaaaa bbbbbbbb cccccccc results in aaaaaaaa bbbbbbbb cccccccc Is there a way to prevent these extra newline characters? -
Django - forloop.counter numbers not resetting when using nested for loops
I have a need for counting the standings of a sport team based on the total points they have their division. Each team has a total points and division assigned to them. My django template code is as follows: {% for division in divisions %} <h4>{{ division }}</h4> <table class="table"> <tr> <td align="center">Place</td> <td>Team</td> <td align="center">Points</td> </tr> {% for stat in stats %} {% if stat.division == division %} <tr> <td width="10%" align="center">{{ forloop.counter}}</td> <td width="70%">{{ stat.team }}</td> <td width="20%" align="center">{{ stat.points }}</td> </tr> {% endif %} {% endfor %} </table> {% endfor %} The problem right now is that say i have 6 teams and 3 are in Division A and 3 are in Division B. Because it is separating the teams based on division it is showing the forloop.counter as 1 through 6 on the first forloop for divisions. What I want it to do is only do the forloop counter for the nested forloop ( the second one for stats ) so that it shows places 1 through 3 for Division A and 1 through 3 for Division B. The results I am getting are: Division A Place Team Points 1 Timberlea Beverage Room 1 7 3 … -
Require Email When Creating an Account with Django
I've got a Django project, which requires users to be able create accounts to access content. I'm using the UserCreationForm to do this. In views.py I have def register_user(request): if request.method == "POST": user_form = UserCreationForm(request.POST) if user_form.is_valid(): new_user = user_form.save(commit=False) new_user.set_password(user_form.cleaned_data["password1"]) new_user.save() template = "account/registration/registration_done.html" context = {"new_user": new_user} else: # TODO: Handle exception raise BaseException elif request.method == "GET": user_form = UserCreationForm() template = "account/registration/register.html" context = {"user_form": user_form} else: raise NotImplementedError return render(request, template, context=context) And then my template is: {% extends "base.html" %} {% block title %}Create an Account{% endblock %} {% block content %} <h1>Create an Account</h1> <form action="." method="post"> {{ user_form.as_p }} {% csrf_token %} <p><input type="submit" value="Create my account"></p> </form> {% endblock %} Which works okay. But when the create account form is displayed, it only has fields for the username, password, and password verification. There's no requirement that the user enter a valid email. What I'd like to do is have a have the user be required to enter an email address, and then send them an email to ensure that the address is valid, and that they have access to is etc. Surely this is a common enough pattern that there's … -
Django: hashlib keeps generating same hex digest
I have a model like this: class Book(models.Model): hash = models.CharField(max_length=56, unique=True, null=True, editable=False) created_at = models.DateTimeField('Created at', auto_now_add=True) # .. and other fields def save(self): if self.hash is None: string_seed = str(self.created_at).encode('utf-8') + str(self.pk).encode('utf-8') self.hash = hashlib.sha224(string_seed).hexdigest() super(Book, self).save() But I keep getting this error "Duplicate entry 'c19c...abb5' for key 'store_book_hash_4517c5ea_uniq'" after inputting second data (book, in this case). I don't know why my code keeps generating same value. I use django admin page for data entry, and I thought when inserting new book via "Add book" form in django admin, the self.hash should always be None, so new random value would be freshly generated (but in my case, it wouldn't and threw integrity error instead). I'm confused -
Upload image from Android to django server using Retrofit
I am trying to make an Android application that would post the taken photo to django server using Retrofit framework. My android part: private void uploadFile(Uri filePath) { String path = getRealPathFromURI(filePath); File originalFile = new File(String.valueOf(path)); RequestBody filePart = RequestBody.create(MediaType.parse("multipart/form-data"),originalFile); MultipartBody.Part file = MultipartBody.Part.createFormData("upload", path, filePart); ApiRequestsService.UploadFile(this, new OnApiResponseListener() { @Override public void onApiComplete(Object object) { RetrofitResponse response = (RetrofitResponse) object; Toast.makeText(context, response.success, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } @Override public void onApiError(Exception e) { } }, "Loading...", file); } @Multipart @POST("/uploadImage/") Call<ResponseBody> uploadFile(@Part("upload") MultipartBody.Part file); In the views.py file on the server side I have: def uploadImage(request): # check to see if this is a post request if request.method == "POST": print request.FILES if 'upload' in request.FILES: print "success!" upload = request.FILES['upload'] else: print "something's wrong" The response I get is: [14/Jan/2018 15:55:24] "POST /uploadImage/ HTTP/1.1" 200 47 MultiValueDict: {} something's wrong -
Django unique together validation with request user
In Django, I need to validate unique_together the (author, title) fields. The problem is that the author is the request.user so what is the best approach to validate the admin form? I have this admin: @admin.register(Document) class DocumentAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): list_display = ("title",) exclude = ('author',) def save_model(self, request, obj, form, change): """Save ``author`` as request user.""" if getattr(obj, 'author', None) is None: obj.author = request.user super().save_model(request, obj, form, change) I can query inside the save_model() and filter both author and title but that doesn't really work well. I also tried with a forms.ModelForm but I can't manage to get the request.user inside the clean() method. -
Heroku does not look for the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE I've set for it
I'm deploying my first site. I intend to use one settings file for production and one for development. Thus I have this structure: workout | |-\settings | |- production.py |- development.py In order to let heroku know where to find the settings file, I do this: $ heroku config:set DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=workout.settings.production Setting DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE and restarting ⬢ workoutcalendar... done, v3 DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE: workout.settings.production And push again.

Updating a single object with Django Rest Framework ViewSets and Axios
By default, the DRF ViewSets don't have a patch method. Also, by default, Axios doesn't have an update method. It would seem that in order to update/patch an object using Axios and DRF ViewSets I have to write out specifically how to handle a patch method for every ViewSet. Is it possible to use ViewSets default methods without writing extra code just to handle the Axios patch? -

Running celery with supervisord unable to discover tasks
I am using celery 4.1.0 with Django-1.11 and supervisor 3.3.1. For some reason celery is unable to discover the tasks in apps (which are listed in INSTALLED_APPS) when I run celery worker via supervisor. When I run celery from command line it does show the tasks.

how to handle same form on different pages (DRY)
I have a template called base.html. it contains a fixed search form at top of it. all of my other templates inherit from base.html. I want to my form works on every pages (right now I have 10 different pages). One silly solution is to handle form for every single view, but it is opposite of DRY. So how can I handle my form one time for all of views ? NOTE: base.html is just a template and is not used directly by a view. -
Django can't find my static files after changing to production settings and back
I've been trying to deploy my site this weekend and have thus been meddling with the settings. I one of the unpleasant surprises while doing this have been that my static files have seemingly stopped working on my site. My CSS files and javascript files don't work anymore, as if they aren't found by the site. The only thing I can remember doing with regards to static files was inserting this into settings.py: # The absolute path to the directory where collectstatic will collect static files for deployment. STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'staticfiles') # The URL to use when referring to static files (where they will be served from) STATIC_URL = '/static/' I removed these settings and replaced them with the original STATIC_URL = '/static/' but alas, the problem remains. Why isn't Django finding my static files anymore? PS: As I'm a noob, I don't know exactly what is relevant from my project for you guys to see, but do let me know and I shall provide additional info. -

Django receive POST from webhook
Our App is receiving webhooks via POST from our payment processor. When I was building this function I originally had it to GET for testing purposes so I could use the URL to test paramaters. Everything worked fine but now I need to test with fake purchases which sends POST request to our URL. So I updated the code but no new webhooks are being saved in our database now. views.py @require_POST def webhook(request): template_name = 'payment/index.html' hook = Webhook() user = User.objects.get(id=request.POST.get('clientAccnum', '')) hook.user = user hook.clientSubacc = request.POST.get('clientSubacc', '') hook.eventType = request.POST.get('eventType') hook.eventGroupType = request.POST.get('eventGroupType', '') hook.subscriptionId = request.POST.get('subscriptionId', '') hook.timestamp = request.POST.get('timestamp', '') hook.timestamplocal = timezone.now() hook.save() hook.user.profile.account_paid = hook.eventType == 'RenewalSuccess' hook.user.profile.save() return render(request, template_name) models.py class Webhook(models.Model): user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=False) clientSubacc = models.CharField(max_length=120, blank=True, null=True) eventType = models.CharField(max_length=120, blank=True, null=True) eventGroupType = models.CharField(max_length=120, blank=True, null=True) subscriptionId = models.CharField(max_length=120, blank=True, null=True) timestamp = models.DateTimeField(blank=True, null=True) timestamplocal = models.DateTimeField(blank=True, null=True) I'm firing POST requests now from our payment processor and their support is telling me webhooks are being fired but nothing new is saving in the db. This leads me to believe the views.py code is wrong. Anyway I can test this? -
Gunicorn not using right settings file Django?
