#django

KaffeeJunky123: been reading that, not yet clear to see that its calling something beyond what i explicitly call int he test

KaffeeJunky123: I like that :) I new i was missing something. I was just looking for something cleaner and that will work, Thanks

i'm getting "'stylesheets/style.min.css' could not be found in the COMPRESS_ROOT '/home/user/djangoapp/static' or with staticfiles." when trying to access my application

using nginx/gunicorn daemons. However runserver seems to work completely fine

the change i made was altering my STATIC_ROOT & MEDIA_ROOT config settings to absolute paths

mekhami: it's just patched within the testcase you patch from

also fiddled around with my /static/ dir

is this a cache issue?

KaffeeJunky123: i know, i just.. i make a mock service = mock.Mock(spec=Service), then service.save(), and then I want to assert that service.save() calls service.deploy()

so i was thinking the service mock spec would know that deploy should get called

basically i need to run my tests without hittin the AWS api

mekhami: no, you'll have to mock the deploy method

when that API call is in the service.save() method

ah

oh

mekhami: so, what method hits the AWS api?

pardon KaffeeJunky123 that API call is in the deploy method which gets called by the save method

yeah

so you simply mock the deploy function

okay

You can make it return the success code

or the error code

to check wether your save function handles it right

i feel like this gets unwieldy now since i have to go in to each of these tests and patch the deploy function on every test

mekhami: well, that's the way of doing things in tests, you'll probably want to assert different things along the way

so it makes sense to patch for every testcase

KaffeeJunky123: maybe this deploy function shouldn't go in save, heh.

mekhami: you can patch the method for a unittests class scope

KaffeeJunky123: hmm that makes more sense

django.test is awesome

I recommend searching the django and python docs when you run into trouble, it's often faster than asking on irc

hi guys, i got a question. I want to make a webapp which will be a TO-DO list. Do you think i need more classes than one: Task ?

KaffeeJunky123: i did, but sometimes the answer still eludes me

mekhami: the more time you spend on docs, the better you'll get in understanding them

Tomatosoup1: doubt it

that being said, reading a good book helps, I can really recommend two scoops of django

mekhami: it covers pretty much all the topics of developing web applications with django

and it points to references and nice third party libs

KaffeeJunky123: what project are you talking about ?

Tomatosoup1: I cannot parse your question with the context provided.

KaffeJunky123: you said that smth covers all the topics of developing web app with django: maybe you were talking about some book ?

anybody installed django on centos 6.7 ? it has python 2.6 so I have problem with it. I installed Python 2.7 but it uses python 2.6 http://pastebin.com/YGGik7j4 how can I set /usr/local/bin/python as executable ?

Tomatosoup1: I was talking about "Two scoops of Django"

It's a really great book for Django beginners

or not-so-beginners

tbaxter: well, programming experience is mandatory

actually, i prefer learing from docs

django doc is great

You'll have to consult the docs

Two Scoops of Django is mostly on best practises

Which isn't covered by the django docs

i will take a look at it :)

actually there's a lot of no nos in the django docs

Tomatosoup1: don't pirate it ;)

damn 31 $ for a single book

,

two scoops of django is really good

Tomatosoup1: it’s worth every penny.

hi

i got this

that must be a great book, but im not sure if i will find this in my country

how can i get a true ? if i got this object into db

buy the ebook?

emper0r: you're comparing a string with model instances

ok... so?

i need to know if my string exist into db..

iter into all objects

emper0r: Ok, that's easy, something like this: IP.objects.filter(ip=<your_ip>).exists() should do it

oh missing the exist() function

No, the filter by field as well.

That way you don't get all the records back, instead you only check for a single one directly on the database.

thanxs

works

u r right

because sis impossible if i got 1millions

Glad to help, you're welcome.

But are you filtering by the IP you want to check? Or just calling .filter().exists()?

emper0r: ^

Tomatosoup1: i think they sell a pdf version

i need filtering to know if exist

frenchiie: only of the ol' one IIRC

beacuse i after that if not exist i added into model

with a simple mode.save

emper0r: Yes, I understand that.

emper0r: Would you mind sharing your model on dpaste? Just to ensure we're getting this right :)

Y3K: i think you may have it backwards, but i know for sure they sell the new one as a pdf.

1.8

Oh, didn't know that.

Tomatosoup1: http://twoscoopspress.org/collections/everythin...

frenchiie: is that book worth buying?

very much so

i like to think of it as the official django book

i'm still new to django but it explains everything pretty well

does it add to the djangodocs?

frenchiie: That's the doc...
