I started learning Django last week and I thought the best way is to just build an App. I'm stuck now with the User Auth module with my tests. Maybe someone could help me out: I want to model employees in the db and also put them in the User Auth model, so I build the model and after a few checks I want to add it to User.
class Employee(models.Model): session = models.ForeignKey( 'sessions.Session', verbose_name='Session', blank=True, null=True, ) email = models.CharField(max_length=255) password1 = forms.CharField(max_length=30, widget=forms.PasswordInput()) #render_value=False password2 = forms.CharField(max_length=30, widget=forms.PasswordInput()) first_name = models.CharField(max_length=255) last_name = models.CharField(max_length=255) region = models.ForeignKey(Region, on_delete=models.CASCADE) workgroup = models.ForeignKey(Workgroups, on_delete=models.CASCADE) user_since = models.DateTimeField('Signed up since', default=timezone.now()) rights = models.IntegerField(default=0) def __str__(self): return self.email def clean_username(self): # check if username dos not exist before try: User.objects.get(username=self.cleaned_data['email']) #get user from user model except User.DoesNotExist : return self.cleaned_data['email'] raise ValidationError("this user exist already") def clean(self): # check if password 1 and password2 match each other if 'password1' in self.cleaned_data and 'password2' in self.cleaned_data:#check if both pass first validation if self.cleaned_data['password1'] != self.cleaned_data['password2']: # check if they match each other raise ValidationError("passwords dont match each other") return self.cleaned_data def dosave(self): # create new user new_user=User.objects.create_user(self.cleaned_data['username'], self.cleaned_data['email'], self.cleaned_data['password1']) new_user.save() return new_user So, next I wrote a few tests, one of them as following:
myuser = Employee.objects.create(first_name='Annie', last_name='Levers', email='[email protected]', region=mymun, workgroup=mygroup, user_since=timezone.now()) self.assertEquals( str(myuser), '[email protected]', ) # Check user.auth db userpk = myuser.id user = get_object_or_404(User, pk=userpk) user.set_password('abcxyz123') user.save() When I run this test, the python cannot find an entry for userpk in User but gives me a 404 object.
Any ideas? Thanks so much already!
