I'm getting an error when trying to update an object instance using PUT using the rest framework: ValueError: Cannot assign "{'id': UUID('954...8b4')}": "DeviceConfig.device" must be a "Device" instance.
view defn:
class DeviceConfigViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
#todo: secure
authentication_classes = []
queryset = DeviceConfig.objects.all().order_by('device')
def get_queryset(self):
device = self.get_renderer_context()["request"].query_params.get('device')
if device:
return DeviceConfig.objects.filter(device=Device(device=device))[0:]
else:
return self.queryset
serializer_class = DeviceConfigSerializer
DeviceConfig model:
class DeviceConfig(models.Model):
device = models.OneToOneField(Device,primary_key=True,on_delete=models.CASCADE)
bpm = models.DecimalField(max_digits=22, decimal_places=3, blank=True, null=True, default=0.5)
duty = models.DecimalField(max_digits=22, decimal_places=4, blank=True, null=True, default=0.022)
ledState = models.IntegerField(
default=255,
validators=[MaxValueValidator(255), MinValueValidator(0)]
)
pressureMax = models.IntegerField( blank=True, null=True, default=70, validators=[MaxValueValidator(255), MinValueValidator(10)])
JS func FE side:
function formSubmit(){
var myForm = document.getElementById("config-form");
var formObj = new FormData(myForm);
var object = {};
formObj.forEach(function(value, key){
object[key] = value;
});
object["device"] = DEVICE_UUID;
const putMethod = {
method: 'PUT',
headers: {
'Content-type': 'application/json; charset=UTF-8' // Indicates the content
},
body: JSON.stringify(object)
}
fetch("http://localhost:81/configs/"+DEVICE_UUID, putMethod);
}
I've tried not sending the device ID from the front end but it gives me a 400 then the ol' goog search didn't turn up much for me this time, but I'm not quite sure how to send a Device instance from the client side besides by it's pk which is what I've tried
EDIT - DeviceConfigSerializer
class DeviceConfigSerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):
device = serializers.UUIDField(source='device.id')
class Meta:
model = DeviceConfig
fields = ('device','bpm', 'duty','ledState','pressureMax')
I worked it out. @JPG helped point in the right direction, it was the serializer - i was needlessly referencing device, which was screwing things up. I've removed it from the serializer and JS and all works well now. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction @JPG
Given the reference to the device ID was already in the url I was calling, there's no need to pass it in again. I'm still not quite sure how to interpret the error (insight appreciated) but my thoughts are it was attempting to assign a plain UUID where it needed a Device instance, which was not being handled in my serializer code as I thought it was.
Cheers
