Release

So, now finally I can release the new version in Eupen:

While trying to make it offcial by uploading it to PyPI, I got:

Submitting docs/dl\lino-1.5.10.tar.gz to http://pypi.python.org/pypi
Upload failed (401): Incorrect password

Yes of course, I had changed my password in the web interface after the attacks from January 2013. But where does my setuptools store my old password? Answer: it’s in the .pypirc file which is in my $HOME directory.

Next problem:

Submitting docs/dl\lino-1.5.10.tar.gz to http://pypi.python.org/pypi
Upload failed (502): Bad Gateway

This problem occured once, but the second attempt passed.

UnresolvedModel instance has no attribute ‘Xyz’

Another surprise during watch_tim:

ERROR UnresolvedModel instance has no attribute 'DoesNotExist'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "t:\hgwork\welfare\lino_welfare\modlib\pcsw\management\commands\watch_tim.py", line 865, in watch
    process_line(ln)
  File "t:\hgwork\welfare\lino_welfare\modlib\pcsw\management\commands\watch_tim.py", line 837, in process_line
    m(**kw)
  File "t:\hgwork\welfare\lino_welfare\modlib\pcsw\management\commands\watch_tim.py", line 409, in PUT
    obj = self.get_object(kw)
  File "t:\hgwork\welfare\lino_welfare\modlib\pcsw\management\commands\watch_tim.py", line 618, in get_object
    except Client.DoesNotExist:
AttributeError: UnresolvedModel instance has no attribute 'DoesNotExist'

This bug is due to my change to resolve_model two days ago:

The resolve_model function may not use seed_cache=True (which causes Django to populate the models cache before looking for the model) since we want to have it usable at the top-level of models modules. Which is what lino.projects.homeworkschool did. This caused a recursive populate, leading to very confusing error messages.

The easiest workaround is to add the following line somewhere before the first call:

settings.LINO.startup()

Should I make the strict=True as default? No, because this would raise an ImportError instead of returning UnresolvedModel.

More bugs

  • Some more edge cases occured in watch_tim. Added them to watchtim_tests.

  • When manually creating a Coaching, the default value for the user field wasn’t correctly set to the requesting user (leading to a “DoesNotExist at /api/pcsw/CoachingsByClient” traceback).

Deleting a UserAuthored as somebody else

Lino had a problem when a user working as somebody else tried to delete a UserAuthored record of this other user. The button was enabled, but after clicking and confirming it you nevertheless got a warning “You have no permission to delete this row.”.

The picture shows what happens:

The client correctly sends an HTTP DELETE with su=7 as form data (7 being the id of the substituted user in our example), but the server didn’t yet parse any data in the body of DELETE requests. Now it does.
