Gargoyle/Nexus - TypeError: get_db_prep_save() got an unexpected keyword argument 'connection'

[Victor Hooi]

heya,

I just downloaded the latest version of Nexus and Gargoyle from Github.

I then installed these both into my virtualenv.

I created a new Django project, and included both in my application, synced my DB, and started runserver.

The app loads up fine =), however, when I go into Gargoyle and attempt to add a switch, it seems to stall indefinitely, and I get an error on the console:

Any ideas why that is?

Also, I couldn't seem to find much documentation on Nexus - are there any good beginner's resources out there yet? Or is it still fairly undocumented?

Thanks,

Victor

Nexus is mostly still undocumented (and draft-ish).

Regarding the error, what version of Django are you using? It may not work pre-Django 1.2.

Heya,

Aha, it looks quite awesome even in draft status =). It'll be interesting to see where you guys take this.

I did notice there was a branch of Sentry that seemed to start porting it to Nexus - however, it hasn't had updates since January this year, I think. Is that effort on pause?

Finally, I'm actually on django-trunk - should I try with 1.3 stable?

Cheers,
Victor

Ya I'd recommend 1.3 (unless you want to work on a compatibility patch). We only officially support 1.2 and 1.3 I believe.

heya,

Just for closure, can confirm it works fine on 1.3.

So yes, my bad for trying to use 1.4.

Cheers,

Victor
