Hi Team,
I am a Django developer. I am using Django 1.8.5 version to develop my
application. I am facing one issue with Django model class. I have one
model class and it's returning a text value. If any invalid characters
(eg:- '→' ) are included in this return text value, Django will throwing
an error. Its huge impact on my application.
We have a UI interface to enter value to this model class. By mistake any
user is entering invalid charactes or copy and pasting some text value
from other sources, chances to include invalid characters into this field.
I can see that by default Django doesn't have any validation for prevent
this invalid characters. Instead of this, its directly throwing the error.
Below is one sample model class which I am using in my application,
{{{
class Subgroup(models.Model):
subgroupname = models.TextField(max_length=50,null=True,blank=True)
description = models.TextField(null = True,blank = True)
workgroup = models.ForeignKey(Workgroup)
rowstamp = models.IntegerField(null=True, blank=True)
active = models.BooleanField(default=True)
group_leader = models.ForeignKey(UserProfile, null=True, blank=True)
def __str__(self):
return self.subgroupname
class Meta:
verbose_name_plural = "Subgroups"
}}}
The above model class "Subgroup Name" is the return value. We have a our
own admin interface area to enter this subgroup name and values for the
above model class. If any invalid characters (eg:- '→' ) included in the
subgroup name, Django will throw below error
Error message:
`** encoding, errors)\nUnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode
character u'\\u2013' in position 11: ordinal not in range(128)**`
I think Django doesn't have any in-built error handling if any invalid
characters included in the model value.
I am requesting you to check this issue on priority and suggest us a
solution for this
Please let me know if you need any additional information
Thanks & Regards
Nitish Nandanan
