Trying to update a record using UpdateView Error: Circuitinfotable matching query does not exist

[Patrick Carra]

I have a built a database application that users can search and view records from.  I am trying to incorporate an update feature to allow users to edit information the app is called editLit.  When I try to pass a parameter into the editLit app via urls into views.py I get the following error:

My template from which I start in a view app contains the a href link below:

my editLit.urls.py file contains:

from django.urls import path, include

from django.conf.urls import  url

from . import views

urlpatterns= [

     path('circuit/<str:circuitid>/edit', views.editLit.as_view(),name='editLit'),

]

my editLit.views.py file contains:

from django.views.generic.edit import UpdateView

from . models import Circuitinfotable

# Create your views here.

class editLit(UpdateView):

    model=Circuitinfotable

    template="/editLit/editCircuit.html"

    fields = '__all__'

And finally my template for the editLit class is:

{% block content %}

<form action="" method="POST">

{% csrf_token %}

{{form.as_p}}

<input type="submit" value="Update">

</form>

{% endblock %}

Any ideas about what I'm doing wrong are welcome I am still new to Django.  Thanks in advance!

Hi!

Matching query doesn't exists says that this entry with this id not exists in db....

Are you sure that this object exists? STTK-100G-18040-01-WRBB




Can you open a shell and:

from xxx.models import Circuitinfotable
obj = Circuitinfotable.objects.all()
print(len(obj))
obj = Obj.get(circuitid='STTK-100G-18040-01-WRBB')
print(obj)







Are you following me?

Or confirm that exists via admin?

Could it possibly be that it is trying to match this entire value? /viewLit/edit/circuit/STTK-100G-18040-01-WRBB/ and if so what am I doing wrong in my urls and views that I am not dropping /viewLit/edit/circuit/?

[Gil Obradors]

May be,

Or you aren t querying for circuitid ( by view class code) , normally the urls are with the int pk parameter...

For this, django-debug-toolbar can help to see what are you quering to db, i recommend to install and play with this great tool

I will read about, i want to know whats happening

Can you try to add to the view class this argument?

pk_url_kwarg = 'circuitid'

I installed the django-debug-toolbar but its not doing anything. I imported it added it to settings.py installed apps and middleware, added the if statement to the project level urls.py and Debug is set to True.

[Gil Obradors]

and

Configuring Internal IPs

The Debug Toolbar is shown only if your IP address is listed in the INTERNAL_IPS setting. This means that for local development, you must add '127.0.0.1' to INTERNAL_IPS; you’ll need to create this setting if it doesn’t already exist in your settings module:

INTERNAL_IPS = [
    # ...
    '127.0.0.1',
    # ...
]

I figured out the weirdness with the django-debug-toolbar I wasn't serving my static files from the apache/mod_wsgi configuration.  After I figured that out this is what I have now:

	Query		Timeline	Time (ms)	Action
	+	SELECT ••• FROM "circuitinfotable" WHERE "circuitinfotable"."circuitid" = 'edit/circuit/STTK-100G-18040-01-WRBB'	53.76007636826474%	2.42	SelExpl

	+	SELECT ••• FROM "auth_user" WHERE "auth_user"."id" = 1

[Gil Obradors]

Yeah!

Can you see the error?

WHERE "circuitinfotable"."circuitid" = 'edit/circuit/STTK-100G-18040-01-WRBB'

would be : WHERE "circuitinfotable"."circuitid" = 'STTK-100G-18040-01-WRBB'

Link incorrect, or uls pattern incorrect

Yea! This toolbar is an awesome tool thanks for the tip.  So now I guess I'm not understanding how to route url's really.  The a href is:

 <a href="/viewLit/edit/jira/{{record.circuitid}}" class="edit-item" target="blank" title="Edit">Edit Jira Info</a><br>

My project level urls.py is:

from django.contrib import admin

from django.urls import path, include

from django.conf.urls import url

import debug_toolbar

urlpatterns = [

    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),

    path('', include('homepage.urls')),

    path('searchlit/', include('searchLit.urls')),

    path('viewLit/edit/', include('editLit.urls')),

    path('viewLit/', include('viewLit.urls')),

    path('edit/', include('editLit.urls')),

    path(r'^__debug__/', include(debug_toolbar.urls)),

]

my editLit urls.py is:

from django.urls import path, include

from django.conf.urls import  url

from . import views

urlpatterns= [

     path('edit/circuit/<str:circuitid>', views.editLit.as_view(),name='editLit'),

]

And finally my editLit views.py is:

class editLit(UpdateView):

    pk_url_kwarg = 'circuitid'

    model=Circuitinfotable

    template="/editLit/editCircuit.html"

    fields = '__all__'

So I don't understand either how to just pull the param without the edit/circuit/ part or can that be stripped before it is passed to the view?

[Gil Obradors]

Easy, urlpatterns from  editLit.urls must be:

urlpatterns= [

     path('jira/<str:circuitid>', views.editLit.as_view(),name='editLit'),

]

Correct me if i'm wrong but I think you meant:

urlpatterns= [

     path('circuit/<str:circuitid>', views.editLit.as_view(),name='editLit'),

]

I did make that change but the results were the same.

[Patrick Carra]

Ha that was my mistake my brain has turned to mush anyhow the change was made and it still is broken :(

[Gil Obradors]

This is the link ?

 <a href="/viewLit/edit/jira/{{record.circuitid}}" class="edit-item" target="blank" title="Edit">Edit Jira Info</a><br>

My project level urls.py is:

from django.contrib import admin

from django.urls import path, include

from django.conf.urls import url

import debug_toolbar

urlpatterns = [

    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),

    path('', include('homepage.urls')),

    path('searchlit/', include('searchLit.urls')),

    path('viewLit/edit/', include('editLit.urls')),

    path('viewLit/', include('viewLit.urls')),

    path('edit/', include('editLit.urls')),

    path(r'^__debug__/', include(debug_toolbar.urls)),

]

So, editLit.urls will be:

[...]

urlpatterns = [

        [...]

     path('jira/<str:circuitid>', views.editLit.as_view(),name='editLit'),

        [....]

It's actually this I copy and pasted the wrong thing:

<a href="/viewLit/edit/circuit/{{record.circuitid}}/" target="blank" class="edit-item" title="Edit">Edit Circuit Info</a><br>

My project level urls.py is:

from django.contrib import admin

from django.urls import path, include

from django.conf.urls import url

import debug_toolbar

urlpatterns = [

    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),

    path('', include('homepage.urls')),

    path('searchlit/', include('searchLit.urls')),

    path('viewLit/edit/', include('editLit.urls')),

    path('viewLit/', include('viewLit.urls')),

    path('edit/', include('editLit.urls')),

    path(r'^__debug__/', include(debug_toolbar.urls)),

]

So, editLit.urls will be:

[...]

urlpatterns = [

        [...]

     path('circuit/<str:circuitid>', views.editLit.as_view(),name='editLit'),

        [....]

]

But it doesn't work it gives me the same error:

[Raja Sekar Sambath]

Hi,

    path('viewLit/edit/', include('editLit.urls')),

    path('viewLit/', include('viewLit.urls')),

    path('edit/', include('editLit.urls')),

look at above in project level urls.py, give a try by commenting any one

Raja that was a great suggestion thank you!  Once a started playing around with the urls in the project level I found that it was still being routed to viewLit despite the edit/ in the url I was passing.  I decided to put all these classes into the same app viewLit/views.py and now my parameter is correct.

SELECT ••• FROM "circuitinfotable" WHERE "circuitinfotable"."circuitid" = 'STTK-100G-18040-01-WRBB'

My viewLit/models.py is:

class Circuitinfotable(models.Model):

    id1 = models.IntegerField(blank=True,null=True)

    pid = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True, null=True)

    circuitid = models.CharField(primary_key=True, max_length=255, blank=True, null=False)

    def get_absolute_url(self):

        return reverse()

My viewLit/views.py is now:

import re

from django.shortcuts import render

from django.http import HttpResponse

from django.views.generic import TemplateView

from django.views.generic.edit import UpdateView

from django.urls import reverse

from . models import Circuitinfotable, Budgettable, Xcinventorytable

# Create your views here.

def viewLit(request, circuitid):

    ruleList=["/SB", "/ZYO", "/ZYO /", "/MS", "/CLVI", "ELG"]

    for rule in ruleList:

        if(len(re.findall(rule + "$", circuitid))>0):

            circuitid=re.sub(rule+"$","/"+rule, circuitid)

    record = Circuitinfotable.objects.get(circuitid=circuitid)

    template = 'viewLit/viewCircuit.html'

    context = {'record':record}

    return render(request, template, context)

class editLit(UpdateView):

    pk_url_kwarg = 'circuitid'

    model=Circuitinfotable

    template="/viewLit/editCircuit.html"

    fields='__all__'

my viewLit.urls.py is now:

from django.urls import path, include

from django.conf.urls import  url

from . import views

urlpatterns= [

     path('<path:circuitid>/', views.viewLit, name='viewLit'),

     path('<path:circuitid>/edit', views.editLit.as_view(), name='editLit'),

]

and my template is:

<html text/html>

<body>

{% block content %}

<form action="" method="POST">

{% csrf_token %}

{{form.as_p}}

<input type="submit" value="Update">

</form>

{% endblock %}

</body>

</html>

I understand this has kind of moved to a new topic and I can start a new post if that is more appropriate than answering here.

Hey Patrick,

Can you post forms.py here?

I didn't have one.  I thought UpdateView would create the form for me.  But I was working the problem and made one:

from django.forms import ModelForm

from . models import Circuitinfotable

class CircuitinfotableForm(ModelForm):

    class Meta:

        model = Circuitinfotable

        fields = '__all__'

So I also changed my view:

class editLit(UpdateView):

    pk_url_kwarg = 'circuitid'

    model=Circuitinfotable

    form_class= CircuitinfotableForm

    template="/viewLit/editCircuit.html"

#    fields='__all__'

[franz ulenaers]

put your template 'circuitinfotable_form.html' on one of your folders :

/home/db_user/ciopsdb/base/templates/viewLit/circuitinfotable_form.html
/home/db_user/ciopsdb/templates/viewLit/circuitinfotable_form.html
/home/db_user/ciopsdb/editLit/templates/viewLit/circuitinfotable_form.html
/home/db_user/ciopsdb/viewLit/templates/viewLit/circuitinfotable_form.html
/home/db_user/ciopsdb/searchLit/templates/viewLit/circuitinfotable_form.html
/home/db_user/ciopsdb/homepage/templates/viewLit/circuitinfotable_form.html

[Patrick Carra]

I don't have a circuitinfotable_form.html.  I never specified circuitinfotable_form in any of my code.  What should that form contain?  My /viewLit/editCircuit.html form contains the following:

<html text/html>

<body>

{% block content %}

<form action="" method="POST">

{% csrf_token %}

{{form.as_p}}

<input type="submit" value="Update">

</form>

{% endblock %}

</body>

</html>

Shouldn't that suffice for the template form?  What is calling the circuitinfotable_form.html?

[Patrick Carra]

okay so I dumped all the contents of my editCircuit.html into a file called circuitinfotable_form.html and now I get my form.  But I still don't understand why I had to use this name since I never specified it anywhere.
