I'm using DispensingUnit class name and having two fields 'keypad1_sr_no_hw' and 'keypad2_sr_no_hw'.
How can we compare the uniqueness of these two fields meaning two fields never having same combination ofvalues?
Used this unique_together, but its not working.
class Meta:
unique_together = (("keypad1_sr_no_hw", "keypad2_sr_no_hw",))
class DispensingUnit(models.Model):
keypad1_sr_no_hw = models.CharField(U'Keypad 1', max_length=20 ,)
keypad2_sr_no_hw = models.CharField(U'Keypad 2', max_length=20,)
value in keypad1_sr_no_hw is KP2019310001 and in keypad2_sr_no_hw KP2019310001 and still get saved.
I expect that when both the values are same it will show error and values do not get stored.
Have you tried overriding the save method, do something along the line
def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
if self.keypad1_sr_no_hw == self.keypad2_sr_no_hw:
raise ValidationError("keypad1_sr_no_hw and keypad2_sr_no_hw have same values")
return super(DispensingUnit, self).save(*args, **kwargs)
I know It might not be what you are looking for, but it will do the job for you, I am not sure that any built-in django property exists that can compare multiple fields for Uniqueness.

I have a simple model:
class Item(models.Model):
user = ForeignKey(User, related_name="user_items")
users = ManyToManyField(User, related_name="users_items")
I want it so that when a user creates an Item via ViewSet, that user is automatically assigned to the user and users fields.
I typically do this for ForeignKey's via the ViewSet's perform_create:
class ItemViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
...
def perform_create(self, serializer):
if self.request.user.is_authenticated:
serializer.save(user=self.request.user)
else:
serializer.save()
When I try to do it for the ManyToManyField too, I get this error:
{'users': [ErrorDetail(string='This list may not be empty.', code='empty')]}
I've tried the following in perform_create():
# 1
serializer.save(user=self.request.user, users=self.request.user)
# 2
serializer.save(user=self.request.user, users=[self.request.user])
# 2
serializer.save(user=self.request.user, users=[self.request.user.id])
How can I update a ManyToManyField via a ViewSet's perform_create?
Edit:
I guess the following works:
obj = serializer.save(user=self.request.user)
obj.users.add(self.request.user)
Is there no way to have the M2M field when the object is initially created though?
when you want set a list to m2m field one of the things you can do is this:
item_obj.users.set(user_list)
probably you need first get your item_obj.
for this you can get your object id from item_id = serializer.data.get('id') , and then item_obj = Item.objects.get(id = item_id)
I am using wagtail ModelAdmin for some of my non page models and want to add some custom validation.
This is some of the code.
class EditPlanningView(EditView):
def publish_url(self):
return self.url_helper.get_action_url('publish', self.pk_quoted)
def unpublish_url(self):
return self.url_helper.get_action_url('unpublish', self.pk_quoted)
def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
form = self.get_form()
if form.is_valid():
instance = form.save(commit=False)
if bool(request.POST.get('action-publish')):
try:
instance.publish(commit=True)
except PublishWithoutMeetingError as e:
form.add_error(
'planning_meeting',
e
)
return self.form_invalid(form)
When validation fails the invalid form is returned, but the error I added is not bound to the field. In stead a 'general error message' appears at the top.
Can someone help me out?
Cheers,
Robert
I think the error is in the following lines.
form.add_error(
'planning_meeting',
e
)
Actually can't say anything without knowing about PublishWithoutMeetingError, the type of e. Better to replace e with a string. And make sure the post method is not throwing any exceptions. Other than that, what you have done is correct. Read the following to also to check if you have missed any point.
Long Answer
There are two ways that you can achieve showing an error messages in forms.
Overriding the Form
Overriding the EditView
In both of these cases, you are going to use a method called add_error. That method takes 2 argument, field and error. From these two, error is the most important argument. The field simply state the field of the form that this error applies to. This can be None.
The error argument can be multiple types.
The error argument can be an instance of str. Then wagtail will assign the given error to the given field.
The error argument can be an instance of list of str. Then wagtail will assign the given list of errors to the given field.
The error argument can be an instance of dict with str keys and str or list of str values. In this case field should be None. The keys will be used as the fields for the errors given by values.
The error argument can be an instance of ValidationError exception. You can create a ValidationError using a str, list, or dict, which represent the above three cases.
Overriding the Form
In the form clean method need to be overridden in order to find errors.
from wagtail.admin.forms.models import WagtailAdminModelForm
class ExtraForm(WagtailAdminModelForm):
def clean(self):
cleaned_data = super().clean() # Get the already cleaned data. Same as self.cleaned_data in this case. But this way is better.
title = cleaned_data.get('title') # Get the cleaned title
if title is None: # Title is never None here, but still..
return cleaned_data
title = title.strip() # Do some formatting if needed
if title.startswith('A'): # Validation
self.add_error('title', 'Title cannot start with A') # Validation error
else:
cleaned_data['title'] = title # Use the formatted title
return cleaned_data
class MyModel(models.Model):
id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
title = models.CharField(max_length=500, default='', blank=False)
# Or any other fields you have
base_form_class = ExtraForm # Tell wagtail to use ExtraForm instead of the default one
Overriding the EditView
This way is same as the way that you have mentioned in the question. You need to override post method. You need to check if the form associated with the EditView is valid or invalid and return the appropriate form.
To check validity, is_valid method of the form is used by default. That method will clean the form and check if there are errors added to the form.
If form is valid, you need to return self.valid_form and self.invalid_form otherwise.
Unlike overriding the Form, you can access the request here.
class MyEditView(EditView):
def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
form = self.get_form() # Get the form associated with this edit view
if form.is_valid(): # Check if the form pass the default checks
my_field = request.POST.get('my_field') # You can access the request
title = form.cleaned_data.get('title') # You can access the form data
if title != my_field: # Validation
form.add_error('title', 'Title must match my_field') # Validation error
return self.form_invalid(form) # Return invalid form if there are validation errors
return self.form_valid(form) # Return the valid form if there are no validation errors
else:
return self.form_invalid(form) # Return invalid form if default check failed
class MyModelAdmin(ModelAdmin):
model = MyModel
menu_label = 'My Model'
list_display = ('id', 'title')
search_fields = (
'title',
)
edit_view_class = MyEditView # Tell wagtail to use MyEditView instead of the default one.
I am trying to add inlines to my template but continue to get a Database error:

I have 3 objects in my models.py that relate to each other. The user will be able to see which Teacher is selected and have all Owners under that Teacher listed (Teacher and Owner will only appear as an uneditable list). I'd like to have all the Pets under the Owner listed and editable. Any ideas on why I am receiving this error? And how I may be able to accomplish my goal?

class Teacher(models.Model):
teacher = models.CharField(max_length=300)
class Owner(models.Model):
relevantteacher = models.ForeignKey(Teacher)
owner = models.CharField(max_length=300)
class PetName(models.Model):
relevantowner = models.ForeignKey(Owner)
pet_name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
forms.py
class OwnerForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Owner
PetNameFormSet = inlineformset_factory(Owner,
PetName,
can_delete=False,
extra=3,
form=OwnerForm)
views.py
def petname(request, teacher_id):
teacher = get_object_or_404(Teacher, pk=teacher_id)
owners = Owner.objects.filter(relevantteacher=teacher_id)
if request.method == "POST":
petNameInlineFormSet = PetNameFormSet(request.POST, request.FILES, instance=owners)
if petNameInlineFormSet.is_valid():
petNameInlineFormSet.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('success'))
else:
petNameInlineFormSet = PetNameFormSet(instance=owners) //error might be here?
context = {'teacher': teacher, 'owners': owners, 'petNameInlineFormSet' : petNameInlineFormSet}
return render(request, 'petname.html', context)
Update:
Here is the traceback:
File "hde/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py" in get_response

Needed to pass only 1 object to the instance

then

However, I am only able to add/edit pet names 1 owner at a time.
Thanks aamir for the help!
I believe your error is in the second line of the views.py file. I believe it is the call to the get_object_or_404 method causing the error when you try to specify teacher.id in your template. The call to the get_object_or_404 method is returning more than one row from the database, so calling teacher.id is not possible on it from more than one row.
django nonrel's documentation states: "you have to manually write code for merging the results of multiple queries (JOINs, select_related(), etc.)".
Can someone point me to any snippets that manually add the related data? #nickjohnson has an excellent post showing how to do this with the straight AppEngine models, but I'm using django-nonrel.
For my particular use I'm trying to get the UserProfiles with their related User models. This should be just two simple queries, then match the data.
However, using django-nonrel, a new query gets fired off for each result in the queryset. How can I get access to the related items in a 'select_related' sort of way?
I've tried this, but it doesn't seem to work as I'd expect. Looking at the rpc stats, it still seems to be firing a query for each item displayed.
all_profiles = UserProfile.objects.all()
user_pks = set()
for profile in all_profiles:
user_pks.add(profile.user_id) # a way to access the pk without triggering the query
users = User.objects.filter(pk__in=user_pks)
for profile in all_profiles:
profile.user = get_matching_model(profile.user_id, users)
def get_matching_model(key, queryset):
"""Generator expression to get the next match for a given key"""
try:
return (model for model in queryset if model.pk == key).next()
except StopIteration:
return None
UPDATE:
Ick... I figured out what my issue was.
I was trying to improve the efficiency of the changelist_view in the django admin. It seemed that the select_related logic above was still producing additional queries for each row in the results set when a foreign key was in my 'display_list'. However, I traced it down to something different. The above logic does not produce multiple queries (but if you more closely mimic Nick Johnson's way it will look a lot prettier).
The issue is that in django.contrib.admin.views.main on line 117 inside the ChangeList method there is the following code: result_list = self.query_set._clone(). So, even though I was properly overriding the queryset in the admin and selecting the related stuff, this method was triggering a clone of the queryset which does NOT keep the attributes on the model that I had added for my 'select related', resulting in an even more inefficient page load than when I started.
Not sure what to do about it yet, but the code that selects related stuff is just fine.
I don't like answering my own question, but the answer might help others.
Here is my solution that will get related items on a queryset based entirely on Nick Johnson's solution linked above.
from collections import defaultdict
def get_with_related(queryset, *attrs):
"""
Adds related attributes to a queryset in a more efficient way
than simply triggering the new query on access at runtime.
attrs must be valid either foreign keys or one to one fields on the queryset model
"""
# Makes a list of the entity and related attribute to grab for all possibilities
fields = [(model, attr) for model in queryset for attr in attrs]
# we'll need to make one query for each related attribute because
# I don't know how to get everything at once. So, we make a list
# of the attribute to fetch and pks to fetch.
ref_keys = defaultdict(list)
for model, attr in fields:
ref_keys[attr].append(get_value_for_datastore(model, attr))
# now make the actual queries for each attribute and store the results
# in a dict of {pk: model} for easy matching later
ref_models = {}
for attr, pk_vals in ref_keys.items():
related_queryset = queryset.model._meta.get_field(attr).rel.to.objects.filter(pk__in=set(pk_vals))
ref_models[attr] = dict((x.pk, x) for x in related_queryset)
# Finally put related items on their models
for model, attr in fields:
setattr(model, attr, ref_models[attr].get(get_value_for_datastore(model, attr)))
return queryset
def get_value_for_datastore(model, attr):
"""
Django's foreign key fields all have attributes 'field_id' where
you can access the pk of the related field without grabbing the
actual value.
"""
return getattr(model, attr + '_id')
To be able to modify the queryset on the admin to make use of the select related we have to jump through a couple hoops. Here is what I've done. The only thing changed on the 'get_results' method of the 'AppEngineRelatedChangeList' is that I removed the self.query_set._clone() and just used self.query_set instead.
class UserProfileAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display = ('username', 'user', 'paid')
select_related_fields = ['user']
def get_changelist(self, request, **kwargs):
return AppEngineRelatedChangeList
class AppEngineRelatedChangeList(ChangeList):
def get_query_set(self):
qs = super(AppEngineRelatedChangeList, self).get_query_set()
related_fields = getattr(self.model_admin, 'select_related_fields', [])
return get_with_related(qs, *related_fields)
def get_results(self, request):
paginator = self.model_admin.get_paginator(request, self.query_set, self.list_per_page)
# Get the number of objects, with admin filters applied.
result_count = paginator.count
# Get the total number of objects, with no admin filters applied.
# Perform a slight optimization: Check to see whether any filters were
# given. If not, use paginator.hits to calculate the number of objects,
# because we've already done paginator.hits and the value is cached.
if not self.query_set.query.where:
full_result_count = result_count
else:
full_result_count = self.root_query_set.count()
can_show_all = result_count self.list_per_page
# Get the list of objects to display on this page.
if (self.show_all and can_show_all) or not multi_page:
result_list = self.query_set
else:
try:
result_list = paginator.page(self.page_num+1).object_list
except InvalidPage:
raise IncorrectLookupParameters
self.result_count = result_count
self.full_result_count = full_result_count
self.result_list = result_list
self.can_show_all = can_show_all
self.multi_page = multi_page
self.paginator = paginator
I just have a hunch about this. But if feels like I'm doing it the wrong way. What I want to do is to have a db.StringProperty() as a unique identifier. I have a simple db.Model, with property name and file. If I add another entry with the same "name" as one already in the db.Model I want to update this.
As of know I look it up with:
template = Templates.all().filter('name = ', name)
Check if it's one entry already:
if template.count() > 0:
Then add it or update it. But from what I've read .count() is every expensive in CPU usage.
Is there away to set the "name" property to be unique and the datastore will automatic update it or another better way to do this?
..fredrik
You can't make a property unique in the App Engine datastore. What you can do instead is to specify a key name for your model, which is guaranteed to be unique - see the docs for details.
I was having the same problem and came up with the following answer as the simplest one :
class Car(db.Model):
name = db.StringProperty(required=True)
def __init__(self,*args, **kwargs):
super(Car, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
loadingAnExistingCar = ("key" in kwargs.keys() or "key_name" in kwargs.keys())
if not loadingAnExistingCar:
self.__makeSureTheCarsNameIsUnique(kwargs['name'])
def __makeSureTheCarsNameIsUnique(self, name):
existingCarWithTheSameName = Car.GetByName(name)
if existingCarWithTheSameName:
raise UniqueConstraintValidationException("Car should be unique by name")
#staticmethod
def GetByName(name):
return Car.all().filter("name", name).get()
It's important to not that I first check if we are loading an existing entity first.
For the complete solution : http://nicholaslemay.blogspot.com/2010/07/app-engine-unique-constraint.html
You can just try to get your entity and edit it, and if not found create a new one:
template = Templates.gql('WHERE name = :1', name)
if template is None:
template = Templates()
# do your thing to set the entity's properties
template.put()
That way it will insert a new entry when it wasn't found, and if it was found it will update the existing entry with the changes you made (see documentation here).
An alternative solution is to create a model to store the unique values, and store it transationally using a combination of Model.property_name.value as key. Only if that value is created you save your actual model. This solution is described (with code) here:
http://squeeville.com/2009/01/30/add-a-unique-constraint-to-google-app-engine/
I agree with Nick. But, if you do ever want to check for model/entity existence based on a property, the get() method is handy:
template = Templates.all().filter('name = ', name).get()
if template is None:
# doesn't exist
else:
# exists
I wrote some code to do this. The idea for it is to be pretty easy to use. So you can do this:
if register_property_value('User', 'username', 'sexy_bbw_vixen'):
return 'Successfully registered sexy_bbw_vixen as your username!'
else:
return 'The username sexy_bbw_vixen is already in use.'
This is the code. There are a lot of comments, but its actually only a few lines:
# This entity type is a registry. It doesn't hold any data, but
# each entity is keyed to an Entity_type-Property_name-Property-value
# this allows for a transaction to 'register' a property value. It returns
# 'False' if the property value is already in use, and thus cannot be used
# again. Or 'True' if the property value was not in use and was successfully
# 'registered'
class M_Property_Value_Register(db.Expando):
pass
# This is the transaction. It returns 'False' if the value is already
# in use, or 'True' if the property value was successfully registered.
def _register_property_value_txn(in_key_name):
entity = M_Property_Value_Register.get_by_key_name(in_key_name)
if entity is not None:
return False
entity = M_Property_Value_Register(key_name=in_key_name)
entity.put()
return True
# This is the function that is called by your code, it constructs a key value
# from your Model-Property-Property-value trio and then runs a transaction
# that attempts to register the new property value. It returns 'True' if the
# value was successfully registered. Or 'False' if the value was already in use.
def register_property_value(model_name, property_name, property_value):
key_name = model_name + '_' + property_name + '_' + property_value
return db.run_in_transaction(_register_property_value_txn, key_name )
