get_available_name() got an unexpected keyword argument 'max_length'

[manolo gomez]

Hi,

   

   I've updated from django 1.8 to 1.10, and now when save a ImageFile I'm getting the next error:

  

   get_available_name() got an unexpected keyword argument 'max_length'

  

This is the end of the Traceback:

File "/home/dev/Documents/web/children/views/views.py" in post

  73.                     ob.avatar.save(t[0], t[1])

 File "/home/securekids/Documents/enviroments/dev/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/db/models/fields/files.py" in save
  91.         self.name = self.storage.save(name, content, max_length=self.field.max_length)

File "/home/securekids/Documents/enviroments/dev/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/files/storage.py" in save
  53.         name = self.get_available_name(name, max_length=max_length)

  I've tried to remove  "max_length=max_length", and then it's working fine, but I don't like so much to touch the django core :)

  

   Anyone can help me?

You need to update your own code or one of your dependencies as per https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/releases/1.8/#support-for-the-max-length-argument-on-custom-storage-classes.

If you follow https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/howto/upgrade-version/ with an older version of Django (1.8 or 1.9), you should see a helpful deprecation warning.

I thought that I've checked all my dependecies, and effectively I forget to update one of them. Now it's working, thank you very much.

Based on Tim's response, any package that has to do with image or file handling would be a prime suspect. You may have a different package with the same issue, so the OP's answer may be different.
