Hello everyone!
I am rather new to web2py so this may be an obvious thing, but please bear
with me.
I wrote a function to update a document in my MongoDB which looks like this:
record = db(db.stuff.id == request.vars.id).select().first()
form = SQLFORM(db.stuff, record)
which works fine the first time round but on submitting the form complains
about a TypeError, expecting a String but getting an ObjectId.
So far so good.
My fix is to:
try:
record=db(db.stuff.id == request.vars.id).select().first()
except TypeError:
record=db(db.stuff.id == str(request.vars.id[0])).select().first()
form = SQLFORM(db.stuff, record)
but that seems rather ugly.
I could not find anything concerning this on the web, so if there is please
point me to it.
BR
Eduard
P.S: I also thought about using onvalidate to solve that problem, but that
did not seem to great either (although it is better regarding reusability I
guess)
