How to change the passwords error messages

How do you customize the password error messages? More precisely, is there an error name for "password too common" or "password too short" like "unique" is an error name? Can I do some

self.fields["password1"].error_message = {"password_too_short": "password too short"}

kind of magic?

How to prevent access to a route ?

How to prevent access to a route unless it has been called from another route. I have created a login page that accepts only one user ( username and password of admin) and after the user credentials is correct, it redirects to another route called /display. But this /display route can be accessed just by typing inside the search bar of the browser. I want to prevent the access, unless it is redirected from the login page. I felt using flask_admin and flask_login was too complex. If there is another method please suggest thanks.

I want to add unit tests to my Django project but don't know where do i even start



Hey everyone,

I developped an app at my workplace (i'm not a developper officially) using Django, it allows users to login, view data, make comments on data X.

Since it is a quite simple CRUD app, i managed to make it work without any unit testing. I never did any unit tests in my small developper life (5 years).

Now they're asking me to add the option to send out emails containing data X.

I thought this feature would be a good use case for learning unit tests.

Where do i even start? Probably would have to start by something very simple to first get the hang of what unit testing is. Any roadmap to suggest?

I'm quite good at coding and getting stuff done using google (or OpenAI now...), but would like to become more of a real software developper and i know it starts with writing testable code.

Thanks guys.

Handling relations using Django REST Framework ModelSerializer

Hi there, I have been working with DRF for a few years. I currently work as a lead developer at a small Canadian company with a very complex piece of Django stack that is responsible for a relatively large cashflow (we were recently acquire by a very large company). I often see developers jumping into Python/Django world and get very confused about how to use DRF ModelSerializer, and sometimes devs get scared away by the amount of unknown abstraction behind ModelSerializer, they choose to use Serializer instead and implement a lot of the functionality that is already provided by ModelSerializer. So I finally sat down over Christmas break here and wrote this tutorial over the last couple of days, I hope that it helps to explain how to use ModelSerializer to handle model relationships:

https://github.com/oscarychen/deep-dive-drf-model-serializer-relations

It is kind of a difficult read as it touches a lot of nitty gritty implementation details, any suggestion is welcome.

Hi, I have a problem. The thing is that I´m new using Django, and I tried to make a quiz. So far, I can show in the server the question, but not the options. I need to be able to show the options and I need something else: receive the answers and send feedback to the user. Here's my code.

[DRF] What's you preferred way of serializing FK as an object when reading but using PK when writing?

The title says pretty much everything.

I want to know the most common (or most comfortable) way of serializing related object when performing **READ** operations but having to specify PK of the related object when **writing**.

Let's say I have two models **File** and **FileType**:

class File(..):
type = ForeignKey('FileType'...)

What I'm used to do is to add another field called **type\_detail:**

class FileSerializer(..):
type_detail = FileTypeSerializer(read_only=True, source='type')

That way I can **WRITE** like this:

{type:45...}

But when I **READ** I get:

{type_detail: {OBJECT}, type:45}

Do you do it differently? If yes, how?

I don't like that I have two fields. I'd like to use one for both operations.

Django generate thumbnail with MoviePy, problem with Path

How to get the absolute path to a video, that works in development (Windows) and production (Ubuntu), ive tried almost everything, here is the closest I've gotten to a solution, I am trying to generate a thumbnail for a video when its posted.

from pathlib import Path
BASEDIR = Path(file).resolve().parent.parent
def generatethumbnail(instance):
filename = Path.joinpath(BASEDIR, 'media/videofiles')
print(filename)
thumbnail = VideoFileClip(str(filename)+instance.video.url)
name = instance.video.url + '.png'
time = random.randrange(60)
thumbnail.saveframe('media/uploads/thumbnail' + name, t=time,withmask=True)
instance.thumbnail = name

It never gives me a good path, its ether with '/' or with \\ .

MoviePy error: the file C:\Users\User 1\Desktop\django\lumen\media\videofiles/media/uploads/videofiles/22/29/Elvis-IfICanDreamOfficialLivePerformancefcw0WKp.mp4 could not be found! Please check that you entered the correct path.
