SQLite accepts the relevant standard SQL (although by default it doesn't
enforce the constraint), and the 'traditional' creation backend helper
generate it, so this allows us to:
- Maintain the status quo
- Improve readability of the SQL code generated for that backend.
Also, we will need this for when we fix Refs #14204.
Returning None on errors required unpythonic error checking and was
inconsistent with get_app_config.
get_model was a private API until the previous commit, but given that it
was certainly used in third party software, the change is explained in
the release notes.
Applied the same change to get_registered_model, which is a new private
API introduced during the recent refactoring.
ContentTypes are only created for installed applications, and I could
make a case for not returning a model that isn't installed any more.
The check for stale ContentTypes in update_contenttypes doesn't use
model_class.
ModelSignal actually needs get_registered_model since the lookup happens
at import time. I took this opportunity to perform a small refactoring.
This removes the gap between the master app registry and ad-hoc app
registries created by the migration framework, specifically in terms
of behavior of the get_model[s] methods.
This commit contains a stealth feature that I'd rather not describe.
This is to provide a consistent interface (namely bytes) for the smtp
backend which after all sends bytes over the wire; encoding with as_string
yields different results since mails as unicode are not really specified.
as_string stays for backwardscompatibilty mostly and some debug outputs.
But keep in mind that the output doesn't match as_bytes!
Made it use 'AUTOINCREMENT' suffix for PK creation. This way it doeesn't
regress when compared with the 'traditional' DB backend creation
infrastructure.
Refs #10164.
The last component of the dotted path to the application module is
consistently referenced as the application "label". For instance it's
AppConfig.label. appname could be confused with AppConfig.name, which is
the full dotted path.
register_model is called exactly once in the entire Django code base, at the
bottom of ModelBase.__new__:
new_class._meta.apps.register_model(new_class._meta.app_label, new_class)
ModelBase.__new__ exits prematurely 120 lines earlier (sigh) if a model with
the same name is already registered:
if new_class._meta.apps.get_registered_model(new_class._meta.app_label, name):
return
(This isn't the exact code, but it's equivalent.)
apps.register_model and apps.get_registered_model are essentially a setter and
a getter for apps.all_models, and apps.register_model is the only setter. As a
consequence, new_class._meta.apps.all_models cannot change in-between.
Considering that name == new_class.__name__, we can conclude that
register_model(app_label, model) is always called with such arguments that
get_registered_model(app_label, model.__name__) returns None.
Considering that model._meta.model_name == model.__name__.lower(), and looking
at the implementation of register_model and get_registered_model, this proves
that self.all_models[app_label] doesn't contain model._meta.model_name in
register_model, allowing us to simplify the implementation.
It raises ImportError whenever an entry in INSTALLED_APPS points
(directly or indirectly via AppConfig.name) to a non-existing module
and ImproperlyConfigured in all other cases.
Catching ImportError and re-raising ImproperlyConfigured tends to make
circular imports more difficult to diagnose.
Previously the _apps/models_loaded flags could remain set to False if
set_installed_apps exited with an exception, which is going to happen as
soon as we add tests for invalid values of INSTALLED_APPS.
* Introduced [un]set_installed_apps to handle changes to the
INSTALLED_APPS setting.
* Refactored [un]set_available_apps to share its implementation
with [un]set_installed_apps.
* Implemented a receiver to clear some app-related caches.
* Removed test_missing_app as it is basically impossible to reproduce
this situation with public methods of the new app cache.
It was not used inside Django, is not tested or documented. Consequently
remove without deprecation path.
Thanks to @vajrasky for bringing it to our attention.
Currently such overrides aren't reflected in the app cache.
It would be possible to handle them. But that doesn't look like a very
good API. It makes it complicated to express "add this app" and "remove
this app", which are the most common operations on INSTALLED_APPS.
- Tested consistency the current app_configs instead of INSTALLED_APPS.
- Considered applications added with _with_app as available.
- Added docstrings.
Took this opportunity to change get_app[s] to only consider applications
containing a model module as that seems slightly more backwards compatible.
Since callers that care about models pass only_with_models_module=True,
this has very few consequences. Only AppCommand needed a change.
Adjusted several tests that used it to add apps to the app cache and
then attempted to remove them by manipulating attributes directly.
Also renamed invalid_models to invalid_models_tests to avoid clashing
application labels between the outer and the inner invalid_models
applications.
It was called _populate() before I renamed it to populate(). Since it
has been superseded by populate_models() there's no reason to keep it.
Removed the can_postpone argument of load_app() as it was only used by
populate(). It's a private API and there's no replacement. Simplified
load_app() accordingly. Then new version behaves exactly like the old
one even though it's much shorter.
First stage imports app modules. It doesn't catch import errors. This
matches the previous behavior and keeps the code simple.
Second stage import models modules. It catches import errors and retries
them after walking through the entire list once. This matches the
previous behavior and seems useful.
populate_models() is intended to be equivalent to populate(). It isn't
wired yet. That is coming in the next commit.
Since applications that aren't installed no longer have an application
configuration, it is now always True in practice.
Provided an abstraction to temporarily add or remove applications as
several tests messed with app_config.installed to achieve this effect.
For now this API is _-prefixed because it looks dangerous.
Got rid of AppConfig._stub. As a side effect, app_cache.app_configs now
only contains entries for applications that are in INSTALLED_APPS, which
is a good thing and will allow dramatic simplifications (which I will
perform in the next commit). That required adjusting all methods that
iterate on app_configs without checking the "installed" flag, hence the
large changes in get_model[s].
Introduced AppCache.all_models to store models:
- while the app cache is being populated and a suitable app config
object to register models isn't available yet;
- for applications that aren't in INSTALLED_APPS since they don't have
an app config any longer.
Replaced get_model(seed_cache=False) by registered_model() which can be
kept simple and safe to call at any time, and removed the seed_cache
argument to get_model[s]. There's no replacement for that private API.
Allowed non-master app caches to go through populate() as it is now
safe to do so. They were introduced in 1.7 so backwards compatibility
isn't a concern as long as the migrations framework keeps working.
* Removed ADMIN_FOR setting and warn warning
* Group view functions by namespace instead of site
* Added a test verifying namespaces are listed
Thanks to Claude Paroz for reviewing and ideas for improvement.
Used the information from the app cache instead of creating a duplicate
based on INSTALLED_APPS.
Model._meta.installed is no longer writable. It was a rather sketchy way
to alter private internals anyway.
Improved Andrew's hack to create temporary app caches to handle
migrations. Now the main app cache has a "master" flag set to True
(which is a non-default keyword argument, thus unlikely to be used by
mistake). Other app cache instances have "master" set to False.
The only sanctioned way to access the app cache is by importing
django.core.apps.app_cache.
If you were instanciating an app cache and relying on the Borg pattern,
you'll have to refactor your code.
Added comments in the three empty models.py files that are still needed.
Adjusted the test runner to add applications corresponding to test
labels to INSTALLED_APPS even when they don't have a models module.
Several parts of Django call get_apps() with a comment along this lines
of "this has the side effect of calling _populate()". I fail to see how
this is better than just calling populate()!
Refactored get_app() to rely on that method.
get_app() starts by calling _populate(), which goes through
INSTALLED_APPS and, for each app, imports the app module and attempts to
import the models module. At this point, no further imports are
necessary to return the models module for a given app. Therefore, the
implementation of get_app() can be simplified and the safeguards for
race conditions can be removed.
Besides, the emptyOK parameter isn't used anywhere in Django. It was
introduced in d6c95e93 but not actually used nor documented, and it has
just been carried around since then. Since it's an obscure private API,
it's acceptable to stop supporting it without a deprecation path. This
branch aims at providing first-class support for applications without a
models module eventually.
For backwards-compatibility, get_app() still raises ImproperlyConfigured
when an app isn't found, even though LookupError is technically more
correct. I haven't gone as far as to preserve the exact error messages.
I've adjusted a few tests instead.
This commit is a refactoring with no change of functionality, according
to the following invariants:
- An app_label that was in app_configs and app_models stays in
app_config and has its 'installed' attribute set to True.
- An app_label that was in app_models but not in app_configs is added to
app_configs and has its 'installed' attribute set to True.
As a consequence, all the code that iterated on app_configs is modified
to check for the 'installed' attribute. Code that iterated on app_models
is rewritten in terms of app_configs.
Many tests that stored and restored the state of the app cache were
updated.
In the long term, we should reconsider the usefulness of allowing
importing models from non-installed applications. This doesn't sound
particularly useful, can be a trap in some circumstances, and causes
significant complexity in sensitive areas of Django.
Since the original ones in django.db.models.loading were kept only for
backwards compatibility, there's no need to recreate them. However, many
internals of Django still relied on them.
They were also imported in django.db.models. They never appear in the
documentation, except a quick mention of get_models and get_app in the
1.2 release notes to document an edge case in GIS. I don't think that
makes them a public API.
This commit doesn't change the overall amount of global state but
clarifies that it's tied to the app_cache object instead of hiding it
behind half a dozen functions.
Its only difference with OrderedDict is that it didn't deepcopy its
keys. However it wasn't used anywhere with models modules as keys, only
as values. So this commit doesn't result in any change in functionality.
Currently, if the authentication mechanism uses a custom HTTP header
and not REMOTE_USER, it is not easy to test. This commit modifies
remote user tests in order to make them more generic.
All input is now coerced to text before being normalized.
This changes nothing under Python 2 but it allows bytes
to be passed to the function without a TypeError under Python3
(bytes are assumed to be utf-8 encoded text).
Thanks to trac user vajrasky for the report.
Current language is no longer saved to session by LocaleMiddleware
on every response (the behavior introduced in #14825).
Instead language stored in session is reintroduced into new session
after logout.
Forward port of c558a43fd6 to master.
The goal of this change is twofold; firstly, matching the behavior of Django 1.6
and secondly, an AttributeError is more informative than an obscure ValueError
about mismatching sequence lengths.
