Misleading 404 exception during unit tests.

Can someone explain the test condition on line 31 of https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/contrib/staticfiles/views.py - Just spent a few hours trying to get my unit tests to pass and couldn't figure out what was going on until I found this weirdness. I understand serve() isn't mean

Re: Django project for multiple clients

This is what we've done successfully for multiple projects. Django makes it fairly straightforward. -- Ben On Fri, Mar 27, 2015 at 4:37 PM, Gabriel - Iulian Dumbrava < gabriel.dumbr...@gmail.com> wrote: > If your clients are using different subdomains, like client1.webapp.com, > client2.webapp

Improvement to objects.get_or_create and objects.update_or_create

Just want to run an idea by the list for a feature improvement for the oft-used convenience functions get_or_create and update_or_create. I'll just talk about get_or_create for now on but everything I saw going forward applies to both. It's a common idiom to populate a dictionary and simply pass i

Re: How quickly do Django unit tests run?...

Something's definitely wrong. Except for the initial setup for the test run (in 1.7 migrations run each time for example), the individual tests should execute as fast as any normal python unit test. On Wed, Aug 27, 2014 at 9:06 PM, Fred Stluka wrote: > How quickly do Django unit tests run? > >

Re: problem importing blank date using https://github.com/edcrewe/django-csvimport

Unfortunately python's csv capabilities have a fundamental problem - they can't express null/None content. Any empty content will always show up as an empty string ''. So what's being pass to your date constructor is an empty string which is not a valid date format. Best work around is to generally

Re: ORM performance

The short answer to your question is no, the Django ORM is not inherently slower in that regard and it's very likely something you're doing. The useful answer is probably more complicated. :-) Naive usage of the ORM without an understanding of how it translates to SQL is likely to result in some re

Re: Models inside tests - Django 1.7 problem

I'm not sure what the specific issue with migrations is but this article has a nice trick (intended for making temporary models/tables) that would allow you to bring in a model and get it to sync whenever you like. I'd suggest putting this in your test setUp() method. It uses 'syncdb' cause it's pr

How to express a seemingly straightforward upate in the ORM?

I've got an application that needs to frequently update a boolean value (ChannelItem.channel_stocks) against a temporary table that gets created and lives just long enough for this transaction. The table is simply a list of alpha-num skus and created like this: cursor.execute("create temporary tab

Issue with models.FilePathField in Django 1.7 Admin?

I have a model with a FilePathField declared as follows: ftp_path = models.FilePathField(path=settings.BASE_SFTP_DIRECTORY, max_length=250, allow_files=False, recursive=True, allow_folders=True, blank=True) In my save command

Re: Issue with models.FilePathField in Django 1.7 Admin?

Yes that all works. My unit tests and when reviewing the resulting objects via the django shell show everything is absolutely working and the content of my FilePathField data is correct. It's only the Admin UI that is giving me fits. thanx, -- Ben On Thu, Sep 11, 2014 at 11:19 PM, Collin Ander

Re: Preventing illegal method calls

This is the nature of the HTTP protocol and RESTful architectural style. Understand that a URI is just an address for a resource - it is not an action or command. The HTTP verbs are the actual commands. So which HTTP verb you send determines what action you want to occur on that resource. This mean

Yikes that's scary. How did you diagnose this? I think I may be hitting a few examples of this now as well. Silent repression of exceptions is about as evil a thing as one can do in a framework/library. On Sat, Sep 20, 2014 at 6:31 AM, Collin Anderson wrote: > This happened to me once when using

Great summary - looking forward to the rest. Especially like some of the backgrounder insights also explaining "why" certain things were done. I think this often helps developers understand and use features better than even the otherwise excellent and detailed online docs. Wonder if the Django doc

Trying to overload Django 1.9 JSONField

I have an application where we've upgraded from Django 1.7 to 1.9 that makes extensive use of the new Postgres JSONField type. Now that JSONField is native to Django I'm trying to get it to work with our existing code base. We have a class that won't automatically serialize to json so I've extended
