ok, cool

wll, your ready to brew

and brew update says I'm all up to date

huh https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/issues/115...

old, but similar issue

makes me think something on your system is interfering with homebrew

though evidently homebrew can't etll

I'm about to reinstall this MBPr tbh. I probably screwed something up on setting things up

gonna swap to my windows laptop brb

ok

Back :D

welcome back

tbh I think cleaning the drive out and starting fresh will be best anyways as I had a lot of dev stuff for PHP on it also

If you want to...

only takes me like 30 minutes instead of the 2 days I've spent trying to get this to work and searching google

that is fair...

I'm getting to where I like having different laptops for different applications, even selling my mac pro tower off cause I really don't like using it much anymore

interesting

My mbp is a mess of different env setups

VMs FTW

it is also my only computer, so I would be loathe to reformat it

Well I do like using my MBPr for dev work, and my windows laptop for gaming. Considered getting a 3rd for linux but I'm not really sure if its needed

I have so many backups of stuff that its not a big issue for me to wipe a computer clean

does anyone know how to cleanse sensitive request headers from traceback emails?

i know this can be done for POST parameters... but i'd like to **not** include HTTP_AUTHORIZATION headers in my traceback emails

I spent entirely to much money a few years ago on Apple, probably should have just got either a laptop from APple or just bought a low end windows laptop with a nice keyboard. I mean that is like 99% of why I like my MBPr is the keyboard. If I could get python stuff to work on my windows laptop I'd probably sell the MBPr but my virtualbox-fu is not good enough to get the environment setup where I can share folders and such.

or even where the class that sends these emails lives? i would assume its middleware but i don't see it in my middleware classes list

Malgorath: I find mac dev tolerable

windows dev not so much :/

linux dev is nice but then there are other issues

yeah, I like mac well enough just more for me its keyboard layout and feeling

:)

alright, I'm out for a bit

maybe things will be better for you by time I get back :)

I hope so

How does one go about testing max_length of a varchar field in the db? Not testing the form validation, but that the db constraint works

You want to write a unit test to verify your DB works?

found it-- AdminEmailHandler

Mattmcc: Yes

Mattmcc: for a custom field

gp_tablet: Ah. I'd take a look at Django's migration operations tests, then.

mattmcc: thanks

I need to prevent just a few fields on my model from ever being updated. What’s an elegant way to accomplish this? Just add some lines to the `clean()` method that will compare new and old values and raise a `ValidationError` if they don’t match?

Exclude them from the form

What about enforcing it at the model level? What if someone makes two forms for it? They might not know the rule.

I generally prefer to enforce business rules at the model level.

How does the field get populated initially? You might use editable=False.

mattmcc: Having trouble finding a reference and your reply made me question testing it. Do you think it is not worthwhile to test a custom charfield defining a db_type respects max_length? http://dpaste.com/08E03B8

mattmcc: this came up because sqlite doesn't

Right, sqlite doesn't put constraints on varchar fields.

mattmcc: it’s an idea. Is there something wrong with having a policy of asking all devs to call `full_clean()` before saving an instance?

foist: I've seen that handled by caching a copy of the value under a "private" attribute when the model is populated from the database and checking on save. But it doesn't work on bulk operations if I remember correctly

gp_tablet: yes, bulk operations are different. I am only concerned with operations on individual records. My application will not provide bulk editing facilities.

gp_tablet: do you happen to have a snippet of that anywhere?

foist: don't seem to have it available =/ sorry

laptop crashed and I don't have all of my files recovered yet

gp_tablet: okay, thanks. I’ll take a look at that approach.

foist: ModelForms will run model validation, so the only case you'd have to worry about is when they're saving model objects directly. At that point, yeah, they'd have to be told to run model validation, since it's opt-in.

mattmcc: do you think it makes sense to put such a validation in `clean()`? The old vs. new-value comparison.

good evening

I've setup a variable "hosting" via context in the view and would like to use that part as an argument to {% static %}, however when I use {% static "hosting/css/{{hosting}}hosting.css" %} the {{ hosting }} part is not replaced

hello, would there be any reason why i can't perform a select_related on a foriegn key?

tchalla: Other than it's spelled "foreign"?

vit: correct (keyboard is not cooperating today). the foreign key would be accessed by it's related_name
