Django Views Parameters
I have made a Django Model like this: Student Class, Subject Class - foreign key to Student Class Grade Class - foreign key to Subject Class In my understanding, I have set it up so that: Multiple Students can have multiple Subjects, and each Subject that students are in will have different Grades. I am trying to make a separate page for each student, so each page will display the Student name, Subjects the student is taking, and the Grade for each Subject. This is my views.py file for the page (I have set the url as /(student_pk)/ for each student's page) from django.shortcuts import render from .models import Student, Subject, Grade def detail(request, student_pk, subject_pk): stud = Student.objects.get(pk=student_pk) subject = stud.subject_set.all() sub = Subject.objects.get(pk=subject_pk) grade = subject.grade_set.all() context = { 'student_pk':student_pk, 'subject':subject, 'grade':grade, } return render(request, 'studentinfo/detail.html', context) The views parameter to my knowledge can only take 2. Is this the right way to do so? I have a feeling it is not and that my models itself is setup wrong for my purpose. Thank you. -
Receiving the error "Struct() argument 1 must be string, not unicode" when using Django
I am receiving the error "Struct() argument 1 must be string, not unicode" when running a script in Django but it runs OK in python. I'm trying to translate the hex version of a SID from Active Directory to the string version. The error says argument 1 is unicode but from what I can tell it's not. From what I can tell argument 1 is the sliced value of SID. Any help is appreciated. Here is the code: result = con.search_s(ldap_base, ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE, criteria, attributes) sid = result[0][1]["objectSid"][0] if sys.version_info.major < 3: revision = ord(sid[0]) else: revision = sid[0] if sys.version_info.major < 3: number_of_sub_ids = ord(sid[1]) else: number_of_sub_ids = sid[1] iav = struct.unpack('>Q', b'\x00\x00' + sid[2:8])[0] sub_ids = [struct.unpack('<I', sid[8 + 4 * i:12 + 4 * i])[0] for i in range(number_of_sub_ids)] sid = 'S-{0}-{1}-{2}'.format(revision, iav, '-'.join([str(sub_id) for sub_id in sub_ids])) [Error part 1][1] [Error part 2][2] [sid value][3] [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/GV0yb.png [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/rxhW7.png [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/4lzed.png -
django rest api with jwt authentication is asking for csrf token
I am new to django rest api framework. I am using JWT token based authentication for the rest api with the following setting - REST_FRAMEWORK = { 'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': ( 'rest_framework_jwt.authentication.JSONWebTokenAuthentication', 'rest_framework.authentication.TokenAuthentication', 'rest_framework.authentication.BasicAuthentication', 'rest_framework.authentication.SessionAuthentication', ), 'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': ( 'rest_framework.permissions.IsAuthenticated', ) } AND JWT_AUTH = { 'JWT_ENCODE_HANDLER': 'rest_framework_jwt.utils.jwt_encode_handler', 'JWT_DECODE_HANDLER': 'rest_framework_jwt.utils.jwt_decode_handler', 'JWT_PAYLOAD_HANDLER': 'rest_framework_jwt.utils.jwt_payload_handler', 'JWT_PAYLOAD_GET_USER_ID_HANDLER': 'rest_framework_jwt.utils.jwt_get_user_id_from_payload_handler', 'JWT_RESPONSE_PAYLOAD_HANDLER': 'rest_framework_jwt.utils.jwt_response_payload_handler', 'JWT_SECRET_KEY': SECRET_KEY, 'JWT_GET_USER_SECRET_KEY': None, 'JWT_PUBLIC_KEY': None, 'JWT_PRIVATE_KEY': None, 'JWT_ALGORITHM': 'HS256', 'JWT_VERIFY': True, 'JWT_VERIFY_EXPIRATION': True, 'JWT_LEEWAY': 0, 'JWT_EXPIRATION_DELTA': datetime.timedelta(seconds=300), 'JWT_AUDIENCE': None, 'JWT_ISSUER': None, 'JWT_ALLOW_REFRESH': True, 'JWT_REFRESH_EXPIRATION_DELTA': datetime.timedelta(days=7), 'JWT_AUTH_HEADER_PREFIX': ('JWT','Bearer'), 'JWT_AUTH_COOKIE': None, } Now based on this, I have used postman plugin inside chrome and tried to test my web api for authentication using the steps below - I used the url http://127.0.0.1:8000/webs/auth-jwt/ with the credentials to obtain the token. I used the url http://127.0.0.1:8000/webs/testspsearch/ and passed the token generated in step 1 as Authorization Bearer . This is defined as POST method but when I do this, I get the error -> CSRF verification failed. Request aborted. HTTP 403 error. Can you please let me know what am I doing wrong in this? -
Django exact match of ForeignKey Values
class Sentence(Model): name = CharField() class Tokens(Model): token = CharField() sentence = ForeignKey(Sentence, related_name='tokens') I want to implement two cases: Sentence consists exactly of three tokens ['I', 'like', 'apples']. So list of sentence.tokens.all() is exactly ['I', 'like', 'apples']. Same as above, but contains tokens (part of sentence). Sentence.objects.annotate(n=Count('tokens',distinct=True)).filter(n=3).filter(tokens__name='I').filter(tokens__name='like').filter(tokens__name='apples') doesn't work, since it matches I I I as well. Is there any way to filter on exact set of values in ForeignKey? -
Django Admin "Inline and Parent's Inline" Custom Validations

Django insert permission in migration
I need to populate auth_group_permission table in a migration. I've created a migration with this code: # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- # Generated by Django 1.11.5 on 2017-12-05 10:07 from __future__ import unicode_literals from django.db import migrations from django.contrib.auth.models import Group, Permission from django.contrib.auth.management import create_permissions def add_group_permissions(apps, schema_editor): for app_config in apps.get_app_configs(): create_permissions(app_config, apps=apps, verbosity=0) #Workers group, created = Group.objects.get_or_create(name='Workers') can_add_worker_task = Permission.objects.get(codename='add_worker_task') group.permissions.add(can_add_worker_task) group.save() class Migration(migrations.Migration): dependencies = [ ('crowdsourcing', '0005_add_view_permission'), ('auth', '0001_initial'), ] operations = [ migrations.RunPython(add_group_permissions), ] But when I execute "python manage.py migrate" commando I received this error: "django.contrib.auth.models.DoesNotExist: Permission matching query does not exist". I think the problem is that the "auth_permission" table is still empty. Can i solve? -
Django test doesnt update model
Probably something simple but its bugging me that one of my tests is failing. I have a view that handles a POST request from a form to edit a model. I cant see why this test is failing (name does not change): def test_edit_club_view(self): """ Test changes can be made to an existing club through a post request to the edit_club view. """ new_club = Club.objects.create( name = "new club name unique" ) self.client.post("/clubs/edit/{}/".format(new_club.pk), data = {"name": "edited_club_name"}) self.assertEqual(new_club.name, "edited_club_name") The test for the form passes: def test_club_can_be_changed_through_form(self): """ Test the ClubForm can make changes to an existing club in the database. """ form_data = { "name": "new club name" } add_club_form = ClubForm(data = form_data, instance = self.existing_club) add_club_form.save() self.assertEqual(self.existing_club.name, "new club name") Also, if I print the values for the name field in the view, it appears to be changed there, but not reflected in the test case. AssertionError: 'new club name unique' != 'edited_club_name' -

How do I retrieve informations from my facebook user token using python in a django web app?
I just created a web application using django. It has a login page where a user can login using facebook or twitter or github and I did that using django_social_auth2. In my settings.py, I added the required authentication backends: AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = ( 'social_core.backends.github.GithubOAuth2', 'social_core.backends.twitter.TwitterOAuth', 'social_core.backends.facebook.FacebookOAuth2', 'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',) added social_django in my installed apps and ask for the following informations: SOCIAL_AUTH_FACEBOOK_SCOPE = [ 'email', 'user_posts', 'user_location',] A user who wants to login, gets the following message: And in the admin page, I get a token with the granted informations. Now, what I want to do is extract the user's informations without having to paste the token in the facebook graph API explorer. How can I do this in python and integrate it in my Django app ? I have read the documentation regarding the granted informations and the users will only be me and my teaching assistant. Thanks -

Django URLs randomly shows ImproperlyConfigured
I sometimes receive an ImproperlyConfigured "The included URLconf 'app_name.urls' does not appear to have any patterns in it." on my website. When I revisit the URL that caused the error, it works fine. The error shows that "patterns" is a module in these cases. Most of the time it properly loads my URLs. Does anyone spot a problem with my URLs? This is a strange issue that occurs on both the root URL (/) and the details page (####/details). I've never seen an error for my other URLs, but they don't receive much traffic. I haven't been able to reproduce the error, but I receive it several times a day. I'm using Python 3.5.2 with Django 2.0. The codebase was original written with Django 1.6 I believe. I recently migrated to 2.0 and that is when I noticed the issue. I modified django/urls/resolvers.py to log the 'patterns' variable and most of the time I receive this list: [<URLResolver <URLPattern list> (admin:admin) 'admin/'>, <URLPattern '<int:pk>/details' [name='details']>, <URLPattern 'check/' [name='check']>, <URLPattern 'logout/' [name='logout']>, <URLPattern 'search/' [name='search']>, <URLPattern 'features/' [name='features']>, <URLPattern 'terms-of-service/' [name='terms']>, <URLPattern 'privacy-policy/' [name='privacy']>, <URLPattern '' [name='index']>] urls.py from django.urls import path, re_path from django.contrib import admin from app_name import views … -
