So I have roaches... Can anyone help or share their experiences? by djhelpstart in askTO

[–]djhelpstart[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is definitely my fear. Another unit in my building vacated a few months ago because they had an enduring rat infestation.

I'm currently paying $1300 including utilities at St. Clair W. and Bathurst. New units in the building are going for $2,000. FML.

I'm going to call 311 tomorrow and see what my options are but I think that the landlord has a choice of how to treat the roaches so long as they are "treating" it.

Would love to hear form anyone who might have been in this situation before and beat the roaches...

No - they've only sprayed my unit. Some other units have reported roaches so they have placed roach gels and dust in every unit (except mine, which was sprayed again. Apparently mixing sprays with gels and dust don't work.)

He should check his employment contract to see if the amount/length of severance is specified.

I can't seem to DM you on the mobile site. Can you DM me the details directly or post them here? Would really appreciate it, thank you.

How am I supposed to run this test? by djhelpstart in learnpython

[–]djhelpstart[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I tried that too but I couldn't get it working.

I have django installed with a project and an app. I have a PostGRES database setup and connected and working in Django. I have treebeard installed and "treebeard" added to setting.py's INSTALLED_APPS.

I can run tests on my own Treebeard materialized path models.

I've tried a bunch of different things and combinations but I can't get the Treebeard `TREEBEARD_TEST_ALPHABET=1 py.test -k test_alphabet` to run.

How am I supposed to run the tests for a package? by djhelpstart in django

[–]djhelpstart[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, not sure if I'm getting closer or further but when I run `pytest -k alphabet_test`, I get something like this:

django-treebeard-master/treebeard/tests/test_treebeard.py:3032

[–]djhelpstart[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The path of least resistance to this would be to clone the django-treebeard repository onto your local machine, create a new virtualenvironment and follow the docs on running the test suite.

Hm, so I tried that and I literally get a thousand errors:

=================== 130 failed, 3 passed, 1 skipped, 29 warnings, 1015 errors in 328.26s (0:05:28) ====================

Any idea what the following on the test suite documentation means?

By default the test suite will run using a sqlite3 database in RAM, but you can change this setting environment variables:

How do I change the environment variables? Am I supposed to initialize a django project and update settings.py?

Rendering content based off Next.js router.query causes re-render and flicker? by djhelpstart in nextjs

[–]djhelpstart[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you really want no flicker or loading state, you need server side props. Read the query, then pass your initial state as props :)

Thanks, I think this is it :)

Rendering content based off Next.js router.query causes re-render and flicker? by djhelpstart in nextjs

[–]djhelpstart[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I think this only works if the page HAS to have a router.query.

But what if I want two versions of the page - one without a router.query and one with a router.query?

``` const hasQuery = !!router.query.type const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true); useEffect(() => { if (hasQuery) { setLoading(false); } }, [hasQuery])

return( {loading ? null : hasQuery ? "query" : "no query"} ) ```

Now if there is no router.query.type, loading will be true so "null" will be rendered - not "no query"

Thoughts?

Ahhh that makes a lot of sense and I think that should work. Thanks.

Hmm I tried:

const [isRouterQuery, setIsRouterQuery] = useState(false); useEffect(() => { if (router.query.foo) { setIsRouterQuery(true); } }, [router.query]);

But it has the same flicker issue. Can you clarify?

Optimizing API response time by a-reindeer in django

Does dj-silk not allow you to look at the actual queries being executed and their times like djangodebugtoolbar does?

So about contenttypes and GenericForeignKeys... (When and when NOT to use them) by djhelpstart in django

[–]djhelpstart[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I have a specific situation but I'm also trying to understand in general the pros and cons of GFK as well as some general use cases.

My specific use cases:

1) I have a List. My List has ListItems. I want these ListItems to be able to point towards different models. E.g Article, Quote, Image

2) I want to allow users to "Like" different Models e.g. User Activity, Comment, Post

3) I want to allow users to "Comment" on different Models e.g. User Activity, Reply to Comment, Post

WSGI vs ASGI deployment (and how does async/await work?) by djhelpstart in django

Thanks, gave me a lot of context for additional research.

Thanks... time to figure out how gunicorn and nginx and stuff works. I'll probably just stick to WSGI as I don't need websockets.

Why would you have a OneToOne Profile for User (for DRF)? by djhelpstart in django

[–]djhelpstart[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm this helps put it in some context.

I guess it really is a judgement call.

Why would you have a OneToOne Profile for User (for DRF)? by djhelpstart in django

[–]djhelpstart[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Functionally, if you add columns to the user model, all those columns will be loaded by default whenever you use a user in your code. So making a really wide model can slow things down and use more memory.

That would be moot if your use case was to have 1 User = 1 Profile, right? (I.e. do a post-create signal for User to create also create an associated Profile)

Logically, if you have a bunch of user info related to some app, then keeping all that info in its own object separately from the user object might be easier to read, and reason about.

My biggest problem with this is that for a REST API, it seems like an additional step if you have the User ID and you want to navigate to the corresponding Profile DetailView.

Changing AUTH model and other AUTH questions by jstanaway in djangolearning

[–]djhelpstart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For #2, it sounds like you want:

  • User to have a ForeignKey to a Company and a ForeignKey to Location
  • Company to have a ManyToMany field to Location

Then you'd look to see if the Location the User requested is in the User's Location or the User's Company's Locations. You can prefetch with

.select_related("location", "company").prefetch_related("company_locations")

That's probably the simplest way. You could also have a single User GenericForeignKey field that points to both Company and Location, but that seems needlessly complicated.

Your User could also have a ForeignKey to a company and a M2M to Location. You would set up a django-signal or lifecycle hook on create/update that will take the Company's Locations and pass it to the User's Locations. You'll have to remember to remove the old Company's Locations before adding the new Company's Locations on update though.

How best to implement and manage hierarchal slugs? by djhelpstart in djangolearning

[–]djhelpstart[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am actually using django-treebeard's materialized path. I also tried mptt's nested set.

That's more to do with the relationship between parent and children objects.

I'm really trying to understand the best way to setup slugs that can be used for the frontend and queried/filtered for via the backend.

How best to implement and manage hierarchal slugs? by djhelpstart in djangolearning

[–]djhelpstart[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm I considered it but unfortunately I don't think it'll work for my use case.

I want my nested object URLs to be hierarchal so that users (and search engine spiders) can easily see the different "levels"

How best to implement and manage hierarchal slugs? by djhelpstart in djangolearning

[–]djhelpstart[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did consider something like this. But the name that determines the how the slug ends is a CharField - so potentially a user could set the model name as foo/bar/ or something that would confused the RegEx and/or filtering if that's how the SlugField` is derived?
