Hi,

Django 4.0 had this code:

        errors = {}
        if exclude is None:
            exclude = []
        else:
            exclude = list(exclude)

        try:
            self.clean_fields(exclude=exclude)
        except ValidationError as e:
            errors = e.update_error_dict(errors)

In Django 4.1 alpha it looks like this:

        errors = {}
        if exclude is None:
            exclude = set()
        else:
            exclude = set(exclude)

        try:
            self.clean_fields(exclude=exclude)
        except ValidationError as e:
            errors = e.update_error_dict(errors)

My model tests fail:

======================================================================
ERROR: test_username_too_long_exception_4 (speedy.core.accounts.tests.test_models.ReservedUsernameHebrewTestCase)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "D:\Uri\Speedy_Net\Git\speedy-net-public\speedy\core\base\models.py", line 21, in save
    return super().save(*args, **kwargs)

  File "D:\Uri\Speedy_Net\Git\speedy-net-public\speedy\core\accounts\models.py", line 182, in clean_fields
    exclude += ['username', 'slug']
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +=: 'set' and 'list'

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Is `exclude` a set now (instead of a list) and where is it documented? If it's not documented, please document it. I didn't find it documented on https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/4.1/.

What is the best written code to change the line `exclude += ['username', 'slug']` in my code? Is it `exclude |= set(['username', 'slug'])` or `exclude |= {'username', 'slug'}`? Or should I convert to list and then back to set?

What is the reason `exclude` was changed to a set?

Thanks,

Uri.

Hi,

In my code there is clean_fields with exclude as an optional argument:

    def clean_fields(self, exclude=None):
        """
        Allows to have different slug and username validators for Entity and User.
        """
        if (exclude is None):
            exclude = []

Is it still optional and should I define it as a set if it's None? Or is it not optional any more?

I see in Django 4.1 alpha this is the code now:

    def clean_fields(self, exclude=None):
        """
        Clean all fields and raise a ValidationError containing a dict
        of all validation errors if any occur.

        """
        if exclude is None:
            exclude = set()

Hi Uri, 

Good spot. The docs have `The optional exclude argument lets you provide a list of field names to exclude from validation.` for `clean_fields()` so expecting a list seems reasonable. 🤔

This was changed in https://github.com/django/django/commit/1ea7e3157d1f9b4db71e768d75ea57e47dbd49f9 — it looks like your use-case isn't covered by the existing tests. 

Can I ask you to open a ticket on Trac, with a minimal test and we can have a look? 

Thanks! 👍

Kind Regards,

Carlton

Hi Carlton,

Thanks for your reply. I created a ticket:

https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/33724

I'm not sure how to create a test. Maybe you should just contain the following code (in a model):

def clean_fields(self, exclude=None):

        if (exclude is None):
            exclude = []

        exclude += ['username', 'slug']

        return super().clean_fields(exclude=exclude)

Or if you want to check for a set then change it to sets.

Thanks,

Uri.
