ManyRelatedManager object is not iterable

[Todd O'Bryan]

With the latest from SVN, I'm getting an error in a template, but I
can't figure out why...

def obligation_list(request, org_name):
org = Organization.objects.get(slug=org_name)
oblig_list = org.obligation_set.all()
return render_to_response('obligationList.html',
{'oblig_list': oblig_list, 'organization':
org},
RequestContext(request))

Here's the (relevant part of the) model:

class Obligation(models.Model):
organization = models.ForeignKey(Organization, editable=False)

And the (relevant part of the) error I get in the browser:

Template error
In
template /home/tobryan1/workspace/dmi/src/dmi/orgs/templates/obligationList.html, error at line 18

Caught an exception while rendering: 'ManyRelatedManager' object is not
iterable

18 {% for obligation in oblig_list %}

Any ideas what's going on?

Thanks,
Todd

The Manager isn't iterable, but the query sets it produces are.

You're looking for:

{% for obligation in oblig_list.all %}

But didn't I already do that in the view? Or am I not allowed to do
that?

def obligation_list(request, org_name):
org = Organization.objects.get(slug=org_name)

--> oblig_list = org.obligation_set.all()

return render_to_response('obligationList.html',
{'oblig_list': oblig_list, 'organization':
org},
RequestContext(request))

I have been trying to unsubscribe from this list for some time and it is
not working.
Can the list maintainer please remove me from the list?

OK. I figured out the problem. Russ was right that I had forgotten
a .all--the problem is that it wasn't here. There was another for-loop
nested in this one, and that was where the problem was. It's a mystery
to me why the error was reported with this line instead of the line
where it actually occurred. Is that maybe a bug?

Well, yes, if only because the error message made you look in the
wrong place. If you can provide a specific (cut down) example where
the template parser produces the wrong line number, it may be possible
to improve the error message.
